This is the third (and probably last) post in my exploration of the books of the COVID dissident doctor movement. (The first was Ed Dowd's short book Cause Unknown; the second was Dr. Malone's book Lies My Government Told Me.)
Like these other books, this book is work--mental work and emotional work--to read. You will not be reading this book for pleasure, and I certainly have not "enjoyed" reading any of these books, not even close. But I believe all three works are absolutely necessary to have an accurate map for the world right now. You must have a rigorous understanding of both the administrative state and the pharmaceutical "research industrial complex"--as well as an understanding of their leaders--in order to navigate reality.
Note that RFK's book came out in late 2021, and yet it turned out to be ahead of its time on many topics surrounding COVID: on the drivers behind the government pandemic response, on negative mRNA vax efficacy, on mRNA vax injury/safety signals, on the suppression of highly-effective early treatment protocols, and so on. Since then, much, much more evidence and information has come out to support and vindicate many of this book's (at the time) controversial conclusions.
And there is so much weighty evidence about Fauci here that I could write a mini-book summarizing it. [Actually I've done just that with the bottomless pit of notes below that I encourage you to skip.] Permit me to leave you with one telling, devastating example, which is Fauci's appalling, profiteering, and quite frankly homophobic behavior during the peak years of the AIDS crisis. If you are in any way a friend of the gay community, you must grasp the full extent of Fauci's conduct during this period. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it, and you will never look at Fauci the same way again.
Finally, you'll walk away from this book with many useful tools for navigating your heathcare decisions in the future. Two good examples:
1) You'll see how the same pharma policy playbook can be used and re-used. See for example how Fauci reused the 1980s AIDS/AZT playbook with the aggressive rollout of Remdesivir during the COVID era: suppressing safer, better-known, lower-cost and off-patent meds in both eras in order to open up the market for new, on-patent and highly profitable meds, while censoring and deplatforming doctors who pointed out that the new high-cost meds performed far worse! Thus what happened to sincere and objectively brilliant scientists like Peter Duesberg in the AIDS era literally happened again to sincere and brilliant doctors like Meryl Nass and Paul Marik in the COVID era.
2) You will become a more sophisticated consumer of drug trial information. Once you learn all the surprisingly easy techniques to rig drug/vax trials and to exaggerate efficacy while hiding injuries and deaths, you will likely never take a drug associated with the US government or NIH/NIAID. The drug discovery, trial and approval system is largely corrupted and captured: it is yet another fourth turning type structure in our civilization.
We can add plenty of other examples of things this book can teach a careful reader: "pharmacolonialism" used all around the world to trial risky drugs and vaccines on poor countries; various mechanisms of regulatory capture; suppression of inexpensive treatment protocols; techniques of controlling bureaucratic power and money flow. To return to the idea of navigating reality from a few paragraphs ago: if you don't know about these things and how they are done, you are toast, you are a lost and helpless babe in the woods. This book will help you understand the metagame much, much better, and as such it is a gift to readers.
It goes without saying that this book could be shortened, although perhaps doing so would be at the cost of what is a tremendous, overwhelming weight of evidence with extensive footnotes and sourcing. You could also argue that much of the discussions on Bill Gates (chapters 10 and 11), as well as the Robert Kadlec/Germ Warfare chapter (chapter 12) could be cut, although these chapters are themselves fascinating and tie together threads on vaccine policy and pandemic policy that do manage to lead back to Fauci, albeit indirectly.
After reading these three COVID dissident works, and (at least for now) closing this particular chapter of my personal intellectual journey, I can't help but think back with sad nostalgia to 1980s-era Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. Koop courageously stood up to pressure from Ronald Reagan's administration, which tried but failed to silence him from talking openly about AIDS, about condom use and sex education and other (at that time) politically risky topics with a level of transparency and scientific openness that could never exist today.
In today's era Koop would have been destroyed. There would be hit pieces on him in the New York Times and The Washington Post, his career would be quickly terminated, and he'd be labelled with that all-too-common epithet used to silence any doctor who steps out of line: a "quack."
[Again, if you value your time in any way, don't read any further. Just a friendly warning!]
Notes:
p 21: [Publisher's note, a good one:] "Complex scientific and moral problems are not resolved through censorship of dissenting opinions, deleting content from the internet, or defaming scientists and authors who present information challenging to those in power. Censorship leads to greater distrust of both government institutions and large corporations. There is no ideology or politics in pointing out the obvious: scientific errors and public policy errors do occur--and can have devastating consequences."
Introduction
p 24: "This book is a product of my own struggle to understand how the idealistic institutions of our country built to safeguard with public health and democracy suddenly turned against our citizens and our values with such violence."
p 25: "I thought I knew everything about regulatory capture and that I had armored myself with an appropriate shield of cynicism." [Yep, me too.]
p 25: "The FDA receives 45% of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry, through what are euphemistically called 'user fees.' When I learned that extraordinary fact, the disastrous health of the American people was no longer a mystery; I wondered what the environment would look like if the EPA received 45% of its budget from the coal industry!"
p 31ff: Citing the indirect/unintended costs of Fauci's policy directives: quarantines killed far more people than COVID and obliterated the global economy; life expectancy dropped by substantial amount, far more in the USA than any other country; the global impact may have ended up putting 300 million more people into dire poverty. Also the impact on people's mental health: high suicide rates, overdose rates, etc. "Dr. Fauci admitted that he never assessed the costs of desolation, poverty, unhealthy isolation, and depression fostered by his countermeasures. 'I don't give advice about economic things,' Dr. Fauci explained."
p 33: Note also the destruction of businesses, particularly black owned businesses, 41% of black owned businesses were bankrupted! Also the tremendous wealth transfer that happened to the benefit of the wealthy.
p 35: "...as Americans finally wake up to the fact that this outlaw gang has stolen our democracy, our civil rights, our country, and our way of life--while we huddled in orchestrated fear from a flu-like virus."
[The rhetoric so far is very skillful, a lot of criticism of big Pharma, big Ag, big Corn Syrup, Bill Gates, the "rich." the discussion of harms done to the black and Latino communities, to children, etc.]
p 40: "I have battled Dr. Fauci for many years. I know him personally, and my impression of him is very different from my fellow Democrats, who first encountered him as the polished, humble, earnest, endearing, and long suffering star of the televised White House COVID press conferences."
p 41: "This book will show you that Tony Fauci does not do public health; he is a businessman, who has used his office to enrich his pharmaceutical partners and expand the reach of influence that has made him the most powerful--and despotic--doctor in human history. For some readers, reaching that conclusion will require crossing some new bridges; many readers, however, intuitively know the real Anthony Fauci, and need only to see the facts illuminated and organized."
Chapter 1: Mismanaging a Pandemic
"My friend, have you ever been in a quarantined city? Then you cannot realize what you're asking me to do. To place such a curse on San Francisco would be worse than a hundred fires and earthquakes and I love the city too well to do her such a frightful hurt." --Rupert Blue, public health service officer in charge of dealing with a 1907 plague outbreak. He later became the fourth Surgeon General of the US.
p 52ff: On masking: Fauci's flip-flops on it, then later lies about his initial arguments, etc. "masks quickly became important tribal badges--signals of rectitude... By serving as persistent reminders that each of our fellow citizens was a potentially dangerous and germ-infected threat to us, masks increased social isolation and fostered divisions and fractionalization--thereby impeding organized political resistance. The impact of masking on the national psyche reminded me of the subtle contribution of the 'duck and cover' drills of my youth, drills that sustained and cemented the militaristic ideology of the Cold War." [Interesting parallel here]
p 55: Social distancing as a (literally) made-up rule, totally arbitrary.
p 56: "...in a statement justifying COVID vaccine mandates to school children, Dr. Fauci dreamly recounted his own grade school measles and mumps vaccines--an unlikely memory, since those vaccines weren't available until 1963 and 1967, and Dr. Fauci attended grade school in the 1940s." [!!!]
p 58: "The CDC later admitted that only 6% of COVID deaths occurred in entirely healthy individuals. The remaining 94% suffered from an average of 3.8 potentially fatal comorbidities." Also: "CDC belatedly admitted in August 2021 [that PCR tests] were incapable of distinguishing COVID from other viral illnesses."
p 60: "Nearly every lawsuit I have ever litigated pitted highly credentialed experts from opposite sides against each other, with all of them swearing under oath to diametrically antithetical positions based on the same set of facts. Telling people to 'trust the experts' is either naive or manipulative--or both."
p 66: [Good example here of what can drive medical Lysenkoism from this quote from Dr. Pierre Kory]: "I find it appalling that there was no consultation process with treating physicians. Medicine is about consultation. You had Birx, Fauci, and Redfield doing press conferences every day and handing down these arbitrary diktats and not one of them ever treated a COVID patient or worked in an emergency room or ICU. They knew nothing." [The Lysenkoism results from "expert" bureaucrats who aren't in the field (in the case of Lysenko himself, literally not "in the field"!) and thus cannot and do not get direct feedback from their terrible policies.]
p 70: Kennedy asked his mother's own physician about using ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine: "he had never heard of their use in COVID patients. 'There is no early treatment for COVID,' he assured me." [This is when you have to get a new doctor: when you discover he's clueless and not plugged in at all about clearly applicable therapies--to the point where he's never even heard of them. If your doctor is like this he is closer to an intelligent monkey than a doctor: he is merely waiting to be told what to do therapeutically, and he will do nothing more. He will take no agency risk on your behalf, and he may actually sacrifice your health for his reputation and career.]
p 70ff: On the withholding of early treatment protocols: Peter McCullough called it "Cruelty at a population level. Never in history have doctors deliberately treated patients with this kind of barbarism... It shocks the conscience that there is still no official protocol. ... Therapeutic nihilism was the real killer of America's seniors."
p 76: See also Detroit area doctor David Brownstein, whose team did all their own protocol for early treatment and (interestingly) rarely used ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. "We treated 715 patients and had ten hospitalizations and no deaths. Early treatment was the key. We weren't allowed to talk about it. The whole medical establishment was trying to shut down early treatment and silence all the doctors who talked about successes. A whole generation of doctors just stopped practicing medicine. When we talked about it, the whole cartel came for us. I've been in litigation with the Medical Board for a year... Meanwhile, we've seen lots of really bad vaccine side effects in our patients. We've had seven strokes--some ending in severe paralysis. We had three cases of pulmonary embolism, two blood clots, two cases of Graves' disease, and one death."
p 78: More from Dr McCullough. We didn't have a single academic institution come up with a single protocol. They didn't even try. Harvard, John's Hopkins, Duke, you name it. Not a single medical center set up even a tent to try to treat patients and prevent hospitalization and death."
p 79: "Instead of supporting McCullough's work, NIH and the other federal regulators began actively censoring information on this range of effective remedies."
p 84: [One thing Kennedy was very early to recognize and convey (for those people who listened) was the idea of how an EUA cannot be put into place for any therapy if there already exists effective therapeutics. There WERE effective therapeutics for COVID as everyone later found out, but they had to be suppressed in order to put in place EUA authority, both for vaccines and for Remdesivir.] "Thus, if any FDA-approved drug like hydroxychloroquine (or ivermectin) proved effective against COVID, pharmaceutical companies would no longer be legally allowed to fast-track their billion dollar vaccines to market under Emergency Use Authorization." [This is genuinely shameful. But you have to know the rules of the game, you have to know what kind of game you're being put into when you participate in modern health care in a fourth turning era.]
p 85ff: On HCQ's long history, great safety profile, multiple medical applications, etc; also the fact that the FDA has approved it without limitation for 65 years for physicians for any off label use. Millions of people in Africa take it for a lifetime, it's safe for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, infants, the elderly, immunocompromised patients, etc., and the CDC sets no limits on lengthy or indefinite use of it. "Since its recommended protocol as a remedy for COVID requires only one week's use, Dr. Fauci's sudden revelation that the drug is dangerous was specious at best." Note also that malaria-prone regions where HCQ is taken frequently typically had the lowest mortality rates from COVID.
p 93ff: Deeply disturbing to know that on January 13th, 2020 France took the "bizarre, inexplicable" step of taking HCQ off of over-the-counter availability, and a few weeks later Canada did precisely the same thing. (!!!!) Then the pharmaceutical industry began ginning up studies to show HCQ to be dangerous. "By 2020, we shall see, Bill Gates exercised firm control over WHO and deploy the agency in his effort to discredit HCQ." Note specifically the "Solidarity Trial" which was literally homicidal: using a borderline lethal dose of 2400 mg per day versus the standard treatment dose of 400 mg. [Dr Meryl Nass wrote about this too by the way, in Malone's book] The principal investigator Peter Horby was recently knighted by Queen Elizabeth; The Gates Foundation funded the trial. Jeez. "The solidarity trial design also departed from standard protocols by collecting no safety data: only whether the patient died, or how many days they were hospitalized.... The strategy shielded the WHO from gathering information that could pin adverse reactions on the dose." Likewise see the similarly ill-designed and unethical trial done in Brazil using excess dosages.
p 101ff: Surgisphere-gate and Lancetgate: a junk study published in both The Lancet and NEJM trying to show that hydroxychloroquine was ineffective and dangerous, but that was caught out with (incredibly clumsily used) fraudulent data: see for example "the number of reported deaths among patients taking hydroxychloroquine in one Australian hospital exceeded the total number of deaths for the entire country." [!!!] The Surgisphere study then disappeared from the internet. "The capacity of their Pharma overlords to strong-arm the world's top two medical journals, the NEJM and The Lancet, into condoning deadly research and to simultaneously published blatantly fraudulent articles in the middle of a pandemic, attests to the cartel's breathtaking power and ruthlessness... The Lancet editor, Richard Horton, confirms, 'journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.'"
p 107: Note Switzerland's experience with HCQ: Switzerland first complied with the WHO recommendation and banned the use of it, two weeks later they reintroduced the med after death rates tripled... Panama had a similar experience where the government banned HCQ and then relented after deaths shot up. [Note here also that Switzerland, as of early 2023, was the first nation to essentially cease recommending mRNA injections.]
p 112: Note the technique of demanding a double-blind randomized placebo trial for a medicine you don't like, like a cheap generic, and changing the endpoints during a normal study in order to favor a favored drug, or not sponsoring or encouraging randomized trials for any policy that you want to put in place like masks, lockdowns, social distancing etc. Also, interestingly, there have never been randomized studies to confirm safety of any of the vaccines on the childhood schedule!
p 116: "Thanks to Dr. Fauci's strategic campaign, most Americans are still unable to obtain HCQ for early treatment of COVID-19."
p 117ff: Now on to the campaign against ivermectin, another chapter in the book on therapeutic nihilism. Note that ivermectin will likely be effective against all future variants. Facilitates transfer of zinc into the cells which inhibits viral replication, likewise it reduces inflammation via multiple pathways which protects against organ damage, it blocks viral replicase protease, is a potent antiviral, and it prevents blood clots because it binds to the spike protein and prevents the spike protein from binding to CD147 on red blood cells, which would otherwise trigger clumping. It's also a potent prophylactic for COVID infection which halts community transmission.
p 126ff: Note the long list of countries throughout Africa and Asia and why they used ivermectin, see also India, El Salvador, which both distribute it free to all of its citizens, also the obvious example of Uttar Pradesh state in India which introduced "large-scale prophylactic and therapeutic use of ivermectin" quickly leading to a death rate 1/1,000th as large as the USA. Note also! "the Indian state of Tamil Nadu continued using Anthony Fauci's protocol of administering Remdesivir, outlawing ivermectin, and discouraging early treatment" and the state "continues to experience cases and fatalities that perfectly match the US catastrophe."
p 130ff: Here's the story of Andrew Hill, one of the grossest dudes in this whole drama, who somehow was manipulated into altering a paper that should have showed the effectiveness of ivermectin, Hill changed it in order to show the opposite. "Someone got to him," per Pierre Kory. [The transcript of the zoom call between Andrew Hill and Dr. Tess Lawrie is revolting, truly revolting.]
p 146ff: Next, the US government steps into suppress the use of ivermectin, YouTube scrubbed Pierre Kory's virual video describing the peer-reviewed science supporting ivermectin, Facebook blocked him, the WHO said that ivermectin should be limited to clinical trials (which meant never), and the CDC ordered doctors to stop prescribing ivermectin on August 16th, 2021, when AMA president Dr Gerald Harmon said the AMA now advises doctors against prescribing ivermectin except in clinical trials because ivermectin isn't "approved" by the FDA for treatment of COVID-19, a statement that makes absolutely no sense because all drugs can be offered off label. [It's astounding to see all these bureaucracies and organizations marching In lockstep to suppress this med, what an utter disaster.] Doctors were persecuted and faced with heavy-handed tactics including threatening their license and board certifications, pharmacies refused to fill scripts, Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Florida and South Carolina refused to pay insurance claims for ivermectin and threatened audits of the physician who wrote scripts for it, etc.
p 155: Note the "horse dewormer" and the "You are not a horse" propaganda scam, which is extra-ironic because Merck's replacement therapy Molnupirevavir was initially developed as a horse drug.
p 157: Ivermectin has a death per dose reporting ratio of 1 in 10 million; Remdesivir has a 1 in 1000 death/dose ratio.
p 159: Rolling Stone's infamous fabricated article about ivermectin overdoses in Oklahoma, as well as other stories by AP, etc.
p 161ff: Remdesivir, Fauci's "vanity drug"; was tested against Ebola but was quickly pulled because of injuries (54% of the Remdesivir group died!!), this is proof that Fauci already knew how toxic Remdesivir was, but he was looking for another new disease to try it against.. see also the use of "fauxcebos" or spiked placebos in the trial for Remdesivir which makes the drug appear less dangerous: Remdesivir still failed to show any improvement for COVID survival.
p 168ff: After changing the study endpoints and all the other unethical tricks of the study, Fauci told the press "the data shows that remdesivir has a clear-cut, significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery." He then unblinded the study and gave remdesivir to the placebo group. [!] All the while he had a vested interest in the success of this drug. [Gross.] It turns out that this is a playbook that he's used repeatedly, dating back to the AIDS years, to win quick approval for ineffective drugs that he champions. Fauci also knew about the WHO trial that spiked remdesivir internationally with findings of no benefits. "Many doctors believe our country's record COVID-19 fatalities are at least in part due to widespread use of remdesivir in 2020."
p 175ff: Vaccines: Leaky vaxxes that do not offer "sterilizing immunity"; a plan to roll out boosters for each new escape variant; "Vaccines are one of the rare commercial products that multiply profits by failing."; Pathogenic priming or antibody dependent enhancement, which makes vaccine recipients much more vulnerable to the wild virus or to future variants (see for example the RSV vaccines in the 1960s, also see also dengue fever vaccinated children who were more likely to die if they have been vaccinated then if they hadn't.)
p 179ff: 1) Fauci aborted the 3-year clinical trials at 6 months and vaccinated the controls, this would hide long-term injuries including ADE.
2) also the VAERS system was essentially suppressing reporting of most vaccine injuries. There was another system in the works but it found a one in 40 severe injury rate so the CDC killed the project.
3) censoring and disappearing of reports of injuries and deaths from the vax as well as censoring and purging of doctors who talked about ADE, as well as creating a fact-checking apparatus to debunk reports of vaccine injuries.
4) preventing autopsies of deaths following vaccination, which allowed CDC to claim that 16,000 reported deaths following vaccination by October 2021 were unrelated to the vaccines, basically "abolished vaccine deaths and injuries by fiat."
p 182: See Hank Aaron who died 17 days after receiving the COVID jab, and The Times claimed that it was "misinformation"; and further The Times claimed, falsely, that the Fulton County coroner had determined Aaron's death was unrelated to vaccines (this was not true: they'd never seen his body and never performed an autopsy) [!]
p 183ff: 5) populating key FDA and CDC drug approval committees with grantees and loyalists to ensure rubber stamp approvals of his mRNA vaccines
6) vaccinating the entire population would eliminate control group and hide vaccine injuries, see also White House propaganda against vaccine hesitant citizens, OSHA requirements/mandates, vax mandates of schools, etc., also the marginalization and vilification of the unvaxxed, even withholding of medical care from the unvaxxed is threatened by some hospitals.
p 187ff: On paying attention to all-cause mortality as a key endpoint for any drug or vax trial; on minding the relative risk versus absolute risk; Note also the number needed to treat (NNT) data: you need to vax 22,000 people to save one life per the trial's own data; Pfizer also didn't tabulate five additional deaths in the vaxxed arm of the trial: in reality the vaxxed arm had 20 deaths versus 14 deaths in the placebo group.
p 191: The (perverse) reason you want to abbreviate a clinical trial is to keep long-term mortality impacts invisible, which clouds the cost-benefit assessments. "This six month safety report was so damning that it should have closed the case against this vaccine, but captured FDA officials nevertheless gave Pfizer their approval."
p193ff: The explosion in infections/deaths in high vax uptake countries: Gibraltar saw a five-fold increase in infections and a 19-fold increase in death; see also Malta, Iceland, Belgium, Singapore, Britain and Israel. "Rather than preventing cases the vaccine may be enhancing transmission." Also in Gibraltar see the immediate spike in deaths with the vaccine rollout, "84 elderly died immediately after vaccination." In the months that followed many more per capita deaths among fully vaccinated vs unvaccinated in the UK, Wales, Scotland, Israel (one doctor, Dr. Kobi Having, at Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, reported 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and vaccinated Israelis make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.) See also Vermont, one of the highest vax rate states with terrible infection results/death results, and so on.
p 203: These data trends "clash dramatically with official narratives."
p 203ff: Note the swine flu vax was pulled after 25 deaths; mRNA vaxxes have led to 16k deaths and 700k injuries in the US, and 40k deaths and 2.2m injuries in Europe. These numbers are almost certainly far undercounted.
p 206: Note also the CDC technique to count people as "unvaccinated" if their deaths occur within two weeks of a second vaccine, or counting them as an unvaccinated COVID death; this way that wave of deaths that occur after the vaccination rollut looks like it occurs to the "unvaccinated."
p 208: Maddie de Garay's story: she was one of only 1,100 subjects (!) in the vaxxed arm for the adolescent trial.
p 209: PFE's own clinical data indicated myocarditis in 1 out of 318 teens. Myocarditis rates reported in VAERS is much higher.
p 211: The FDA has no functional surveillance system for vaccine injuries and deaths.
p 211: By October 2021 two studies came out showing a near total waning of antibody levels within 7 months (or 2 months, depending on the study) from injection. "This information should sicken every doctor who has ever given one of these jobs to a trusting patient. It means that these products confer no benefits to individuals or society and their long-term costs are foreboding and largely unknown."
p 212ff: On the lack of ethics in vaccinating children with the COVID vaccine: "Some 86% of children suffered an adverse reaction to the Pfizer covid vaccine in clinical trial." UK ONS reported deaths among teenagers during the summer of 2021 increased significantly over the previous year from 162 to 252, this coincided with the vaccine roll out (this was the 15-19 year old age group, and no such increase occurred to the age group 1-14, a cohort that was not yet vaccinated). (!!!)
p 215: On media censorship of vaccine deaths.
Chapter 2: Pharma Profits Over Public Health
p 281ff: Fauci's NIAID has a $6b budget, thus he can "make and break careers, enrich--or punish--university research centers, manipulate scientific journals, and to dictate not just the subject matter and study protocols, but also the outcome of scientific research across the globe." See also additional grants from DARPA of $1.7 billion for bioweapons research. "Dr. Fauci rewards loyalty with prestigious sinecures on key HHS committees when they continue to advance his interests." Control over so-called "independent" expert panels, which enables fast-tracking of pet drugs or vaccines through regulatory hurdles and skipping milestones testing; conflicts of interest; honoraria and contract work from industry for NIAID researchers. "...a 2004 Office of Government Ethics investigation chided Dr. Fauci for failing to control the corrupting entanglements between his staffers and pharmaceutical companies." This report affected two-thirds of NIAID's workers!!!
p 285: "Most Americans would be surprised to learn, for example, that pharmaceutical companies routinely pay extravagant royalties to Dr Fauci and his employees and to NIAID itself... He often begins the process by funding initial mechanistic studies of promising molecules in NIAID's own laboratories before farming the clinical trials out to an old boy's network of some 1,300 academic 'principal investigators' (PIs) who conduct human trials at university-affiliated research centers and training hospitals, as well as foreign research sites."
p 288ff: On "Fauci's historic bias for high-ticket patent medicines" like AZT, Remdesivir; Fauci as "a pharma shill."
p 290: Parallels with J. Edgar Hoover: five decades of tenure, surveillance and control of opponents, etc.
Chapter 3: The HIV Pandemic Template for Pharma Profiteering
p 298ff: Fauci's upbringing, his early career, etc. Became NIAID's director just as AIDS started spiraling out of control.
p 302ff: The official orthodox narrative is that vaccines were what led to a large decline in deaths from infectious diseases: it turns out they only played a minor role, the declines and deaths had already largely happened by the 1950s from key infectious diseases like measles, mumps, diphtheria, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, etc.
p 309ff: On the AIDS virus and how Fauci, his agency and the pharma industry cashed in on it, destroyed open scientific debate about it, used grant withholding to control opposition over it (see the career impact on Peter Duesberg for example).
p 314ff: This era is when Fauci created his network of principal investigators and the various mechanisms to dole out federal grants, build a sort of "feudal empire" at various universities and research hospitals for clinical trials for new pharma products. This is the so-called medical cartel, "a tiny network" of a few hundred PIs that "determines the content and direction of virtually all Americans biomedical research."
p 316ff: On the Gardasil HPV vaccine by Merck, never tested against a true placebo but mandated nonetheless.
p 318ff: Paul Offit: "voting himself rich", blatantly lying about lack of financial conflicts of interest, a darling of the media, writer of pro-pharma vaccine books like Vaccines: What Every Parent Should Know, note also that "Merck launders hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal payments to Offit through bulk purchases of these propaganda broadsides, which the company then distributes to pediatricians across the country." See also Offit's role in laying groundwork to get the rotavirus vaccine approved without safety studies, when he had his own vaccine for rotavirus then in development that he knew would also get approved as a result.
p 320: Note the hilarious story of Offit fabricating a conversation in one of his books, getting sued by the victim for libel, losing that suit, and then because of that loss being required "to make a humiliating $5,000 donation to Jenny McCarthy's autism charity."
p 321: Note the "trapped market" of vaccines mandates for children: the idea is to get a CDC recommendation first, which effectively mandates a vaccine, this then creates an annual trapped market (e.g., because there's a new crop of babies born every year who are forced to get it) worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the manufacturer.
p 321ff: See the congressional investigation that found tremendous conflicts of interests in CDC vaccine approval committee members involved in approving the rotavirus vaccine who have ties to pharmaceutical companies that were developing vaccines; note this particular vaccine was not a safe vaccine; after receiving approval and mandate status in June of 1998, it was pulled from the market in October 1999 due to many infant injuries. Note that rotavirus infection causes only 20 to 60 deaths per year nationwide, and these deaths are mainly due to dehydration which can be easily treated, whereas adverse reactions to Offit's rotavirus vaccine were 953 to 1,689 per year: thus this specfic vax has a net negative public health impact.
p 327ff: RFK himself gets subjected to cancellation from the pharma lobby after writing a single article criticizing corruption in the CDC's vaccine department. He gets branded an "anti-vaxxer" and a "baby killer" by floods of phone calls from powerful members of the medical community who would deluge the offices of presidents of universities and business and community groups that hosted speaking engagements.
Chapter 4: The Pandemic Template: AIDS and AZT
p 342ff: "As he ran AZT around the regulatory traps, Dr. Fauci pioneered and perfected the retinue of corrupt, deceitful, and bullying practices and strategies that he would replicate again and again over the next thirty-three years." See AZT as a sort of proto-Remdesivir: an expensive, patented med that was heavily pushed while there were lots of low-cost repurposed drugs being tried with significant success in many clinics around the country with doctors who were actually treating patients with AIDS. In the meantime Fauci and the NIAID didn't take any action on any med other than AZT; waiving primate studies in order to accelerate AZT's approval (this is risky on such a toxic compound): this is exactly what Fauci did with Remdesivir and mRNA vaccines 36 years later!
p 347: Fauci stokes fears by warning that AIDS could be spread by casual contact even though it was known at that time that it couldn't.
p 351ff: There's just incredibly striking "rhyme" here with the current era in the sense that Fauci promoted and fast-tracked AZT, a borderline lethal drug that had no clinical benefit, while refused to talk about or support (and certainly not declare as standard of care) any of the repurposed drugs that were being used with great success in various clinics. Fauci refused to acknowledge any of these treatments, demanded to see RCTs (again, quite a rhyme here with current era), while the same time his agency refused to do RCTs on these therapeutics, and of course he refused to authorize any kind of standard of care support of them (note that this which would have made it possible for AIDS patients to get insurance coverage for these therapeutics). [It is amazing how well this rhymes with the current era and how the government suppressed low-cost therapeutics for early treatment for COVID, therapeutics that were safe and had great clinical results among doctors actually treating patients. What was different in the modern era is not only did Fauci and the government suppress these therapeutics, but they actively censored and ruin the careers of doctors who were using them. They took it up several more notches!!]
p 357ff: Congressional anger with Fauci boils over, Nancy Pelosi delivers a coup de grace in 1988 in a congressional hearing with Fauci, asking him to imagine that he had AIDS and was dying of pneumonia: "You know the theory behind aerosol pentamidine to prevent pneumonia is strong. You know that aerosol pentamidine was evaluated by the NIH as highly promising. You know that many studies in San Francisco recommend it routinely and that it is available... Would you take aerosol pentamidine or would you wait for a study?" Fauci agreed, even though "at that very moment he was denying tens of thousands of AIDS patients access to these lifesaving remedies." "Here was the head of the NIH effort against AIDS publicly admitting that he personally would not follow the government's own guidelines and recommendations."
p 358: "Thirty-two years later, Dr. Fauci performed an encore of this kabuki dance during the early COVID crisis. On March 24th, 2020, he answered a question from a journalist by admitting that, if he became ill with COVID, he would take hydroxychloroquine as his remedy. Shortly thereafter, Dr Fauci launched his aggressive campaign to deny HCQ--and all the early treatments--to the rest of humanity."
p 361: After the AIDS/AZT fiasco, Fauci needs a makeover, he then does a huge pivot in that embraces the AIDS activists he previously reviled.
p 364ff: [More rhyme here between the AIDS era and the COVID era]: Fauci then rigged one of the community doctor treatment protocols (AL 721) to fail in a trial (just as he would do with hydroxychloroquine), he designed the trial in a way that would ensure the med's failure. Ironically the plan backfired because this trial still showed benefit, but Fauci still canceled the trial, claiming he could not get volunteers to enroll, this is the same inaccurate reason he gave to kill ivermectin trials in today's era; note also Fauci pulled the same move with pentamidine, claiming he couldn't get volunteers, upon which grassroots HIV activists then financed and conducted their own trial. [It's just astounding how all this rhymes, I can't even believe it.]
p 366ff: AZT gets approved after just 4 months worth of trials on sick AIDS patients, but then gets approved for healthy HIV positive patients who have no symptoms, despite being tremendously lethal in rodent trials; Fauci announces it by calling the press not waiting until the trial is peer-reviewed, this also rhymes tremendously with what Fauci did with Remdesivir, announcing it with a press conference. "This practice would become a routine vehicle for extreme abuse in the COVID-19 era, when vaccine companies habitually disclosed cherry-picked highlights of their clinical trials in press releases weeks before publishing far less bullish study results." Note that this was also combined with "pump and dump" type trading activity of executives at the pharma companies.
p 370ff: Clinical trial fraud with AZT. "Dr. Fauci's entire clinical trial for AZT had been an elaborate fraud." The "Fischl study" with fatal methodological flaws, data tables not making sense, etc. [Again, an incredible rhyme with today.] "The most shocking revelations about Dr. Fauci's systemic conduct would emerge after [investigative journalist John] Lauritzen finally obtained some 500 pages from the FDA investigators' trove of documents, using the Freedom of Information Act. Those papers clearly demonstrated... widespread data tampering, which some have viewed rose to the level of homicidal criminality." The trial was unblinded almost immediately, sloppiness, falsification of data, the mortality data was almost certainly false, instances of cheating in the Boston trial site... Finally an FDA whistleblower revealed the shocking extent of the fraud, involving falsification, covering up adverse events, falsely reporting AZT patients as placebo patients, placing the sickest AIDS patients in the placebo arm, giving more supportive medical services to the AZT arm, etc. Later, a private lab found AZT to be 1,000 times more toxic then in the NIH trial. See also Patient #1009, who was already taking AZT who should have been ineligible and then he died two months after dropping out of the study, the PIs counted him as a death in the placebo group. (!!)
[One tremendous difference between that era and this one is that back then there was at least an investigative journalist working to expose the story. Today, "journalists" seem to be only parroting government approved healthcare narratives; the only thing they appear to be investigating is how to destroy any opposing/dissident voices.]
p 377ff: Fauci refused to talk to the NBC team that broke the AZT story, as well as the BBC or any other media that brought up problems with the AZT trial, but he remained a constant presence on the more "obedient" media outlets.
p 379ff: See also Good morning America, which was about to do an expose on AZT and interview professor Peter Duesberg (who was McCullough-like in his reputation, the number of papers he'd published, etc.), but the show suddenly canceled him and brought Fauci on instead to defend the med. [Once again this rhymes incredibly with the modern era.]
p 382: "The death blow to FDA's safety function was AZT. After that any potentially deadly disease became an excuse for curtailing clinical trials. Death by medication was normalized as an inherent part of progress." "Many credible scientists argue that AZT was killing more people than AIDS."
p 382: Similar example with Didanosine, an NIH patented AIDS drug licensed to Bristol-Myers Squibb and rushed to market without even a single trial, which "had so many debilitating and lethal side effects" that the FDA issued a black box warning. See also Merck's HIV antiviral Crixivan.
p 386ff: RFK gives the reader a useful list of "Fauci playbook" bullet points here: the most offensive to me is the use of the media to suppress alternative treatments; also to demand placebo-controlled trials for alternative treatments--but then to let his own pet meds through without placebo-controlled trials (in fact in many instances with falsified or shoddy data), to run through a high-priced high-ticket med that actually has a much more toxic profile and is less effective than already existing repurposed meds that you won't allow to be trialed in the first place. And then also preventing and censoring debate and dissenting voices.
Chapter 5: The HIV Heresies [This chapter is quite interesting, despite being somewhat far afield from the central topic]
p 400: "I hesitated to include this chapter because any questioning of the orthodoxy that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS the remains an unforgivable--even dangerous--heresy among our reigning medical cartel and its media allies."
p 400: Good quote on the power of "scientific consensus" rather than empiricism or the scientific method. "The term 'settled science' is an oxymoron. The admonishment that we should 'trust the experts' is a trope of authoritarianism. Science is disruptive, irreverent, dynamic, rebellious, and democratic. Consensus and appeals to authority (be it CDC, WHO, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, or the Vatican) are features of religion, not science."
p 403: "...it is worth reviewing the weapons Dr. Fauci honed during his natal struggle to construct and fortify a 'scientific' theology."
p 403: discussion of Peter Duesberg's critiques of Fauci as well as his dissident view on what precisely does cause AIDS; that HIV plays a role at onset but there must be other cofactors. Duesberg has methodically laid out all the logical flaws of the HIV viral hypothesis.
p 405: RFK has his own doubts, his own journey with this heterodoxy: "The first time that someone--Dr. Tom Cowan, a physician from Northern California--suggested to me that HIV was not the sole cause of aids, I dismissed the comment as ridiculous... It seems self-evident that HIV was the culprit. I had no idea that the supposition was controversial."
p 405: Down a rabbit hole of the history of the AIDS crisis and the government's corruption about it; on the absolutely cuntish behavior of Robert Gallo (allegedly both homophobe and a thief of ideas and technology) who already was a laughing stock based on errors looking for a virus that caused leukemia; caught stealing the virus from the French scientist Montagnier and claiming he discovered it himself.
p 410: Even Montagnier himself (who later won the Nobel prize for his discovery of HIV) eventually disavowed the theory that it was the sole cause of AIDS.
p 411: Fauci begins populating independent grant review committees with his own people so that they follow his "science" which allowed him to block any research on heretical ideas; in the case of AIDS they only followed anything that presumed Gallo's virus as the cause, blocking any other framework; he also encourage identically indiscriminate use of PCR tests to today's COVID era, this was used to find HIV in people who had no active infection and who probably suffered no threat from the virus.
p 415ff: Using Africa as a "model" for extrapolating tremendous caseloads of AIDS assumed by a model (this of course rhymes with COVID death "models") and forecasting widespread depopulation, none of which actually happened; "grotesque exaggeration." Per one commentator in Africa: "Nothing else gets people to fork out money like shocking AIDS figures. AIDS is a political disease here: we should be very skeptical." Note also that African AIDS has a completely different epidemiology and symptomatic progression compared to Western AIDS, African AIDS affects women mostly, while Western AIDS affects gay men.
p 422ff: Gallo's antibody test: wasn't even isolated for HIV-specific antibodies; testing antibodies from lots of potential pathogens which thus would yield a "positive AIDS test"; most likely producing astounding amounts of false positives. The problem here is if you look at the structural incentives the system "wants" more AIDS victims, and so it will "find" them!. See also the quantitative PCR based HIV diagnostic test, which is not even a test for HIV, it only detects proteins that are believed (often wrongly) to be unique to HIV; it cannot detect the viruses themselves, many other germs are contaminants and produce false positives, etc.
p 426ff: Koch's Postulates on four criteria for proving causation between a pathogen and a disease:
1) microorganism must be found in diseased but not healthy individuals
2) the microorganism must be cultured from the diseased individual
3) inoculation of a healthy individual with the cultured microorganism must recapitulate the disease
4) the microorganism must be re-isolated from the inoculated diseased individual and matched to the original microorganism
The HIV/AIDS hypothesis fails on all four of these criteria. [Fascinating!] Gallo only found HIV in fewer than half of the ailing AIDS patients from whom he drew blood, also every one of the 30 discrete illnesses we associate with AIDS and call "AIDS" also occur in persons uninfected by HIV; AIDS also commonly occurs in people who tested HIV negative: this wouldn't be possible if HIV is truly the only cause of AIDS.
p 433: "...widespread PCR use quickly revealed hundreds of thousands of individuals with HIV and no sign of illness. Dr. Fauci initially predicted that all of these individuals would die of AIDS within two years. Later he doubled their life expectancy to four years, and then to eight. Then he stopped talking about these upcoming tragedies altogether. Today, even Dr. Fauci's most loyal clergyman acknowledge that there are over 165,000 Americans and millions of individuals globally who carry the HIV virus without ill effect."
p 439: "Peter Duesberg told me if HIV was causing infections, 'you would never need a PCR, a machine that multiplies HIV segments a billion-fold, to see whether a person is infected. Infection would be as obvious as it is with active flu or active polio. The body would be swarming with microbes.'" What's astounding about HIV is the viral load is highest when the person is first infected, and even when AIDS patients are dying their viral loads are not high at all, this goes against Koch's postulates and against all logic that HIV would be the sole cause of AIDS. The response from the Fauci HIV theology is that the virus first enters the body then plays dead for 20 or 30 years, then unleashes a time bomb that causes mass suicide among T-cells (this is the "Jim Jones hypothesis").
p 440: Theories that HIV are not retroviruses or viruses but rather cellular debris generated entirely from within the human body.
P 441ff: Farr's Law: "The British microbiologist who designed the accepted method for predicting the spread of a new virus across a naive population." New epidemics can be reliably plotted in a predictable bell curve resembling Farr's graph from London's 1849 cholera epidemic; the predictable spread of infectious disease with Farr's law; "HIV did not spread or kill at anywhere near the rate expected of a newly introduced sexually transmitted virus." Also from Dr. Rebecca Culshaw on the "indisputable fact that neither AIDS nor HIV have spread like they were predicted to. The predicted heterosexual AIDS explosion never happened, and even to mention this prediction now is almost taboo, as it is clearly an embarrassment to the AIDS establishment if HIV has not spread at all but rather it has remained constant in the population since its detection." Also, "It is especially baffling that AIDS does not spread to prostitutes except those who use intravenous drugs."
p 444ff: Note how many well-regarded and prestigious scientists expressed skepticism about the HIV cause for AIDS before the media and Fauci suppressed dissent... Later it became "I'm not going to risk my million dollars of funding by saying that."
Chapter 6: Burning the HIV Heretics
p 460: On Fauci's direct influence on what appears in medical journals. "Control of peer-reviewed publishing is a vital ingredient for constructing orthodoxies."
p 460ff: The HIV viral hypothesis for AIDS produced too much pharmaceutical industry funding and government funding, Note also: the names of doctors who collectively signed a letter to seek out other causes of AIDS the signatories were systematically ostracized and ruined by Fauci, they were "de-granted" and canceled, essentially.
p 461ff: On Peter Duesberg and his stellar reputation, "among the world's most renowned retrovirologists." His mistake was questioning every orthodoxy, including his own. He debunked his own theory, the mutant gene theory of cancer. Duesberg then produces a tour-de-force paper destroying Gallo's theory of HIV causing AIDS. See for example that AIDS "is a disease of cell death while leukemia is a disease of cell proliferation" therefore there's no way HIV could cause both, they are opposite reactions.
p 464: "Duesburg argued that HIV is capable of causing neither cancer nor AIDS. It is instead, he declared, a harmless passenger virus that is almost certainly coexisted in humans for thousands of generations without causing diseases." "Something was terribly wrong with the war on AIDS."
p 467: "We have a test, but it's not a test for AIDS; and it's called an HIV test but it's not a test for HIV; and we have a series of problems that we are calling AIDS, but that doesn't elevate AIDS into a disease." Christina Maggiore, AIDS activist. [Again, really striking rhyme with the COVID era today]
[It's an interesting experience going to the Wikipedia page for Christine Maggiore and seeing her described as an "AIDS denialist"... a few years ago this would have caused me to disregard her and all of her opinions, now that I know that Wikipedia is captured by the pharmaceutical industry and government overlords, the fact that Wikipedia the lines this person makes me instinctively believe her even more!]
p 467ff: This is an interesting argument: RFK has no dog in the fight over AIDS, what he's trying to show is that controversies on AIDS should be openly and transparently debated rigorously, but what has happened is a consensus is formed, usually around appeals to authority and an official narrative (note again that this is a feature of religion not of science!) and Fauci and the government will not air or openly debate ideas contrary to their established consensus--and they will punish and even destroy those who do not conform. "Dr. Fauci met this [Duesberg's] existential assault by simply ignoring it and by castigating anyone who credited it. He set about making Duesberg an example to discourage future inquiries... Dr. Fauci orchestrated a fuselage of withering and venomous attacks that effectively ended Duesberg's illustrious career... The dispute became one of the most sensational, vicious, and personalized battles in the history of science."
p 471: "The scientifically illiterate mass media largely ignored Duesberg's evidence-based arguments as dangerous apostasies. Dr. Fauci showcased his easy capacity to control his servile media toadies and mobilize the public health cartel to punish skepticism and dissent. It was a tour de force and an extraordinary preview of his later censorship campaigns." Note also that this is long before the FDA decided in 1997 to permit pharmaceutical advertising, this made the incentives for controlling the media even more powerful.
p 474: "Peter may be right about HIV. But there's an industry now." On the total destruction of Duesberg's career: all of his grad students left him, people wouldn't even compliment him except anonymously in any story for fear for their own careers and retribution... Geez.
p 475: "In a 2009 documentary, Duesberg is somewhat empathetic, if not sympathetic, toward his detractors: 'They are prostitutes, most of them, my colleagues--and to some degree, myself. You have to be a prostitute to get money for your research. You're trained a little bit to be a prostitute.' He smiles and adds, 'But some go all the way.'"
p 479: Even the discoverer of HIV itself, Dr. Luke Montagnier, changed his mind and came around to Duesburg's theory, clearly against his own interest, "HIV might be benign."
p 481ff: Other theories as to what AIDS is: heavy drug use plus heavy antibiotic use, amyl nitrite in "poppers" (note the extensive literature on the volatile nitrites)... Note the CDC did a fraudulent study on mice using a lifetime dose that was 1/1,000 of what a gay man would get in one evening on the party circuit; this therefore "proved" poppers weren't dangerous.
p 486: Another incredible irony is that Burroughs Wellcome, the pharmaceutical company involved in AZT, also held patents for the popper container and was among the largest manufacturers of poppers during the 80s and 90s; it also used tremendous advertising spending in the gay press as "leverage to force censorship of any journalist attempting to link amyl nitrite to immune system collapse." Thus BW was profiting from both causing the AIDS epidemic and from the AZT "cure" while Dr. Fauci used his regulatory authority to promote AZT and kill any competition; this orchestrated BW's monopoly control over AIDS treatment.
[I'm discovering that I was wrong about most of what I thought I knew about the entire AIDS era.]
p 489: See also the "AIDS by AZT" hypothesis. In other words, that AIDS might be an iatrogenic (doctor-caused) pandemic, and thus Dr. Fauci would in some ways be its author.
p 492ff: Rudolf Nureyev and Arthur Ashe both were likely killed by AZT, not AIDS. Note also that in the early 1990s as AZT was rolled out widely, AIDS stopped looking like it did before (which was mostly kaposi sarcoma) and began to look increasingly like AZT poisoning [!!], also we began giving the anti-HIV drugs to people who were in fact not even sick, just HIV positive, but then when they did become sick from taking AZT then they were called AIDS patients. [This part of the book is very very hard to read. It's appalling.] Note that at most 10-15,000 people died in the early years of AIDS from 1983-87, it wasn't until the late '80s when AZT came along that the number of deaths attributed to AIDS shot up.
p 493: Note further that the CDC inflated mortality numbers by defining anyone with an HIV positive antibody status (even if they died due to drug overdose or suicide) as an AIDS death. Sounds familiar...
p 494ff: Note further that AZT was never pulled, just the dose was cut by 2/3: from 1,500 mg a day to 500 mg a day, at which point the average lifespan of AZT patients rose to 24 months (from 4 months). The atrogenic harm looked just like the AIDS condition itself, that's why nobody noticed!! Also corroborated from a well-known German doctor, Claus Kohnlein, with direct clinical experience with AIDS patients. "When I worked at the University in Kiel, I witnessed the mass intoxication of patients with AZT. AZT was the first recommended treatment, and we all know today that the dosage was much too high. We gave 1500 mg on a daily basis and that literally killed everybody that took this treatment. That is the reason why everybody believes that HIV is a deadly virus but there is still no proof of this assumption." Note also in the original trial the placebo control was stopped after just 4 months and everybody went on AZT for "ethical reasons"... after this the mortality rose tremendously for both groups. [Remdesivir all over again as well as mRNA jabs all over again, it's the same story 30 years later, the whole thing rhymes.]
p 497: Fauci then moved to incorporate leaders of the gay community in his "church" and they became gatekeepers for the AIDS establishment, supporting Fauci's "one bug" theory.
p 502ff: HHV-6A, herpes virus 6 explained as a catalyst for AIDS, but the discoverer had to say that it "acted in concert with HIV" in order to maintain funding and maintain an orthodox-like view, NIH still eventually cut off funding of this guy, then an Italian researcher found HHV-6 in lymph nodes of 22% of chronic fatigue syndrome patients versus 4% in healthy people, which suggests, possibly, that AIDS is the same disease as CFS. Also there's a notable temporal relationship and the AIDS epidemic and the CFS epidemic, at this point all along Fauci was insisting that CFS was a psychosomatic disease, and the idea that it might be related to AIDS would threaten the HIV paradigm.
[Note also here how once there is an "approved narrative" for something and new information comes along, it has to be somehow be forced into consistency with the approved narrative to even exist, to even be considered. Thus you can actually map out the process of "discovery" by the orthodoxy because you know it has to massage the new ideas so they don't contradict the orthodoxy too much at first.]
p 506ff: The debate about HIV antibodies, as well a mycoplasma: Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, disagreed with Fauci's claim that antibodies were a signal for impending death or AIDS, instead he argued that antibodies to HIV indicate the body has coped successfully with the virus. His mycoplasma hypothesis, while robust, was never funded by NIAID. Montagnier later independently confirmed Lo's findings. Also Montagnier found that tetracycline stopped mycoplasma, or in other words "AIDS could be effectively treated and demolished with common patent-expired antibiotics instead of deadly inexpensive chemotherapy concoctions." (again, this rhymes, it's distrurbing to see prior events mirroring so closely what happened just recently with COVID early treatment protocols.)
Chapter 7: Dr. Fauci, Mr. Hyde: NIAID's Barbaric and Illegal Experiments on Children
p 524ff: Stanley Plotkin as the evildoer here, arguing for experiments on intellectually disabled children, using Belgian colonial authorities to "harvest" black African child volunteers for mass trials with experimental vaccines: see also polio vaccine experiments in the 50s and 60s; also as recently as 1989 the CDC conducted lethal experiments with a measles vaccine that was hazardous on black children in Cameroon, Haiti and South Central Los Angeles, "killing dozens of little girls before halting the program." Experiments on HIV positive foster children in New York run by Fauci's organization; see Vera Sharav's investigative work to expose Fauci's child experiments, likewise see BBC's "heartbreaking" 2004 documentary "Guinea Pig Kids" chronicling this same barbarity on foster children. [Note also this quite interesting article in Nature reporting that the BBC "apologizes for airing" this "AIDS 'denialist' documentary" but note the nature of the "apology": It had nothing to do with their reporting on exploited foster children, the apology was for airing the views of doctors who dispute that the HIV virus causes AIDS. You can't help but get the feeling that obeying AIDS orthodoxy is more important than stopping child exploitation.]
p 534: Finally when John Solomon from the AP did an investigation and identified at least 48 AIDS experiments on foster children in seven states, this finally brought Fauci's experiments on children to national prominence. [This entire chapter is appalling and beggars belief]
p 543: On Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex" speech, there was a less celebrated warning in that same speech about how we must "be alert to the danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite." "Just as President Eisenhower warned, Dr. Fauci's COVID-19 response has steadily deconstructed our democracy and elevated the powers of a tyrannical medical technocracy."
Chapter 8: White Mischief: Dr. Fauci's African Atrocities
p 552: On "pharmacolonialism": NIAID had to take their most controversial and risky studies offshore "because they can do stuff that they could never get away with in the United States."
p 555ff: Trialing Neviparine in Uganda for AIDS, once again employing the technique of eliminating the placebo group in order to mask injuries of a study group, thus allowing the trial to dismiss all injuries and deaths in the study group as "coincidences." Also in Uganda, "trampling safety and regulatory standards" particularly in a trial site in Kampala, Uganda, including "loss of critical records" which is one of the most disturbing infractions, because those logs would have likely documented the worst atrocities; also classifying major injuries as "minor" and life-thatening injuries as "not serious" and also classifying mortalities as "SAE"s rather than death. (!!) The scandal-ridden Uganda study site was closed, but this still didn't kill Nevirapine as a therapy. "Tony Fauci knew that Nevirapine had fundamental safety and efficacy deficits that went way beyond record-keeping." He manipulated the scandal into a simple set of "minor clerical errors" and resorted to his classic claim "no evidence has been found" that the trial was invalid or any trial participants were harmed. He managed to stage a whitewash even after a true disaster.
p 563ff: George W. Bush became Fauci's useful idiot in a way: because Bush had pledged $15 billion to "help stop AIDS in Africa," this gave Fauci the ability to consolidate incredible power over the entire US health bureaucracy. Quickly all of HHS fell in line behind Fauci. [It's both disturbing and fascinating to read also about the Uganda whitewash and the changes made to the regulatory report and safety review as it was "bleached" by Ed Tramont, but to see that same site then be reopened to create a type of Potempkin Village for a site visit from President Bush in 2003, this performance was a genuine embarrassment to everyone who knew the truth but everyone fell into line.]
p 566: The "presenting awards" gambit: When you really want to paper over an atrocity or a genuine fuckup, you start giving awards to each other: so there was a plan to give the leader of the Uganda an award! But it was a bridge too far for such a screwed up test site.
[This entire Uganda test site situation and the use of Nevirapine is a very complex story, and there are also layers of people between Fauci and the site, but not for all the decisions. Thus, yes, all of this occurred under Fauci's watch, but perhaps one (admittedly feeble) defense he might make is that he didn't pull the trigger himself on everything here.]
p 572ff: The story of Proleukin, and a study on how to eliminate a clean whistleblower from a corrupt organization, Dr. Jonathan Fishbein. Fauci also had a financial interest in patents in this drug!! Fauci's impact extended into Fishbein's private sector career afterwards, no one would touch him at the risk of angering Fauci.
Chapter 9: The White Man's Burden
p 590ff: On Fauci's attempt to develop an AIDS vaccine. RFK characterizes "attempted HIV vaccines" as "an ATM for NIH whether they work or not." An instrument for transferring money from the taxpayer to his bureaucracy. You have to respect the level of Fauci's game on some level: this guy is an absolute master at bureaucratic organization and sustainability!!
p 592ff: More trials, more deaths, and more cover-ups of it all. And the eternal promise that there would be an AIDS vaccine.
p 598ff: The beginnings of the bromance between Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci.
p 603ff: On the long debate between germ theory and miasma or terrain theory (or microbiome theory), which today is fought between allopathic and functional/integrated medicine.
p 608: "The arcane conflict between germ and miasma theorists has important resonance for public health policy in the developing world where many policy advocates fiercely protest that a dollar spent on food and clean water is far more effective than a dollar spent on vaccines." The Gates/Fauci approach versus a public health approach. RFK even goes so far as to argue that it has become a twisted foreign policy tool to experiment on and vaccinate foreign countries!!
p 614ff: on Bill Gates and the nature of his pharmaceutical investments and the impact on those investments on his various healthcare and vaccine policies, "philanthrocapitalism"; Fauci and Gates "colonizing the Dark Continent"
p 624ff: Note that the various African trial sites for HIV vaccines were instantly converted to COVID vaccines sites, presumably with the same lax safety and data protections.
p 631ff: Various mechanisms by which Bill Gates effectively controls the WHO, including handpicking its leader, and directing policy to vaxxes.
p 643ff: On recruiting black leaders and preachers and celebrities to reduce "jab hesitancy" in the black community; Marvin Hagler, DMX, and Hank Aaron all likely died from vaccine injuries [we can now likely add Pele to this, as well as likely injuries (clots, strokes) in Deion Sanders and Jamie Foxx!!]; Note that the Gates-funded factchecker apparatus debunked any link of these deaths to vaccines.
p 644: On likely political assassinations in Africa: "While unusual numbers of Black celebrities were dying postvaccination in America, an eyebrow-raising number of anti-vax political leaders were simultaneously expiring in Africa." Untimely deaths of the president of Haiti, the president of Tanzania, the president of Ivory Coast, the president of Burundi, the ex-president of Madagascar, the "beloved physician Stephen Karanja of Kenya", all of whom were specifically anti- the COVID vax. It's speculative to assume they were assassinated; however, there is a long history of American assassinations in Africa of "non-compliant" African leaders.
p 647ff: Charles Piller and Doug Smith reporting for the LA times, detailing Gates's systemic damage to African countries by deprioritizing low-cost malaria meds and instead focusing exclusively on vaccines and patented drugs; they found "an inverse correlation between dollars spent by Gates charities and children's health. The nations that get the most Gates money see the worst health outcomes."
p 653: On Gate looking for "magic bullets" in vaccines while overlooking basic fundamental public health actions like food, sanitation, etc. "His giving patterns reinforce the colonial architecture that keeps the authority to 'call the shots' from outside Africa."
p 656ff: "After the devastating Los Angeles Times piece, Gates moved aggressively to neutralize the once independent press with compromising grants that struggling news organizations couldn't refuse." Now nobody ever dares criticize Bill Gates: instead the entire media is obsequiously fawning over him. Further Gates now is now directly funding journalism training and media narrative crafting.
Chapter 10: More Harm Than Good
p 678ff: "This chapter will examine Gates's underlying assertion that is African and Asian vaccines are yielding a net public health benefit."; No clinical trial for any vaccine has involved testing against an inert placebo; see how Gate's "blockbuster African and Asian vaccines" (for Polio, DTP, Hep B, malaria, meningitis, HPV) "cause far more injuries and deaths than they avert."; see DTP injuries in the US and Europe in the 1970s using the older vax version, Gates continued using that version on African children through his platforms, with all-cause mortality 10 times higher among DTP vaccinated girls in a 2017 study: these girls were dying of a wide range of diseases, while the vaccine protected them from diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, it also damaged their immune systems for other infections. "At least seven other studies have confirmed DTP's association with high mortality."
p 684: On the use of thimerosal, the mercury-based preservative in vaccines shipped to underdeveloped countries.
p 685: "Thomas Verstraeten compared health outcomes in hundreds of thousands of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. The raw data from CDC's 1999 Verstraeten study showed that children who took thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccines in their first thirty days suffered an astonishing 1,135% higher rate of autism than children who did not" as well as many other neurological and behavioral problems. By then there were 450 studies that attested to thimerosal's devastating toxicity. Note that in 2001 manufacturers removed thimerosal from childhood vaccines (except multi-dose flu vaccines).
p 686ff: On a Gates deal to "donate" (or better put, dump) a million doses of thimerosal-based Hep B vaccine to African countries.
p 687ff: Lethal malaria vaccine experiments, not tested against placebo, in fact using a reactogenic placebo which masks injuries in the study cohort by inducing injuries in the placebo cohort; "Fauxcebos"; The Gates foundation declared the malaria trial a "mild disappointment"... "The efficacy came back lower than we had hoped." There was yet another malaria vaccine called Mosquirix which was a "genocide for girls" project: 10 times the rate of meningitis, increased cerebral malaria, doubling of the risk of death, and "a serious breach of international ethical standards" per Dr. Peter Doshi.
p 689ff: [This stuff keeps on going... just appalling]: Lethal meningitis vaccine experiments; sterilization vaccines; various countries where lots of unethical or borderline unethical studies and trials were done. Note also that Bill Gates, Sr. is a board member of Planned Parenthood and has a "lifelong obsession for population control"; note also the origins of Planned Parenthood by the "racist eugenicist" Margaret Sanger who wanted to purge human waste and create "a race of thoroughbreds"; Depo-Provera, note here that this has a self-injection mechanism that enables people to do it themselves, thereby (technically) evading informed consent because a pharmacist or doctor wouldn't (technically) be performing the injection!!; Note also that in India, government officials were targeting lower-caste Indians with this therapy (!!);
p 702: Sterility vaccines: it is ridiculed as "conspiracy theory" the idea "that Gates, or any reputable public health authority, would use 'lifesaving vaccines' as a stealth vehicle for surreptitiously rendering women infertile." [Note here that, disturbingly, it seems the safest and most predictive heuristic of all in this postmodernist healthcare era is to assume all conspiracy theories are true.]; Credible allegations that one of Gates's earliest philanthropic undertakings was a tetanus vaccine trial to poor women in 57 countries in 2002 that, with five doses spaced at 6 month intervals--contrasting with the authentic tetanus immunization schedule--actually produced sterilization in women, possibly affecting millions of women; sterilization vax campaigns done in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines, as well as Kenya.
p 709ff: On an adjustment of language/terminology used by the Who for sterility campaigns, using the phrase "family planning" rather than "population control": "it is perhaps more conducive to a rights-based approach to implement family planning programs in response to the welfare needs of people and communities rather than in response to international concern for global overpopulation."
p 710ff: Polio vaccines: on the "low-rent" polio vax versions used in Africa and Asia with Gates planning and funding; Gates carpet bombs India with polio vaccines and created 491,000 cases of... polio: "In 2012, the British Medical Journal wryly noted that polio eradication in India 'has been achieved by renaming the disease.'" "That year, the disillusioned Indian government dialed back Gates's vaccine regimen and evicted Gates's cronies and PIs from the NAB (National Advisory Board). Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously." "The WHO reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is happening because of Gates's vaccine program." (!!!!!!!!!!!) Again from the BMJ: "The most recent mass polio vaccination programs [in India] fueled by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation resulted in increased cases."
p 715ff: On the HPV vax: 23,000 girls age 11 to 14 in remote provinces of India; Gates and his foundation have large investments in both GSK and Merck, developers of the vaccine. Cervical cancer affects only 1 out of 40,000 women by the way, and this vaccine is dangerous, thus the benefit is negative; "Merck's executives nicknamed the HPV vaccine 'Help Pay for Vioxx'"; at least 1 in 20 girls in case studies suffered severe side effects, seven died, this is 10x the death rate for cervical cancer which never kills the young; Gardasil (Merck's HPV vax) was the most dangerous vaccine before COVID-19, it increased cervical cancer rates by 46%, was responsible for 22% of cumulative injuries from all adverse events reported to VAERS (before COVID jabs).
p 719ff: On the Hep B vax: a flop, possibly increases Hep B incidence.
p 721ff: On the HIV vax; also on the "Pentavalent" vax (HIV, Hep B and DTP all together). Beginning another period of patent protection because the DTP patent was long expired, and this created a "new" vaccine!! Note also that developed countries do not use it, and the FDA has not licensed this combo vaccine.
Chapter 11: Hyping Phony Epidemics: "Crying Wolf"
p 746: "Governments do like epidemics, just the same as they like war, really. It's a chance to impose their will on us and get us all scared so that we huddle together and do what we're told." --Dr. Damien Downing, President, British Society of Ecological Medicine
p 746: "Hyping pandemics became an institutional strategy in both agencies [the CDC and NIAID]"
p 746ff: The 1976 Swine Flu, declared an epidemic after one death (that probably wasn't even the same disease); note how this Swine Flu playbook was re-used with the COVID vaccine, using scaremongering tactics, political pressure, using celebrities to promote the shot, etc; see also the censoring, firing and muzzling of Dr. John Anthony Morris who blew the whistle on this non-disease and dangers from the swine flu vaccine; incidence of swine flu among vaccine recipients was seven times greater, there were 32 deaths, 500 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, 400 paralyzations and 4000 other injuries...the vaccine was pulled; Dr. Morris was later exonerated totally, he remained an outspoken critic of the CDC's annual flu shot program; this ultimately led the vax/pharma industry to the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which shielded all mandated vaccines from liability.
* Note the parenthetical story of Mary Tyler Moore here: the CDC claimed she had gotten the swine flu jab, it turned out she decided against it, telling the show 60 Minutes it was because she had concerns about side effects. (!)
p 752ff: Bird flu, 2005; see also modeler Neil Ferguson (the very same epidemiologist who produced wildly exaggerated death predictions from COVID-19) likewise pulled the same stunt with bird flu in 2005: he predicted 150 million deaths, there were a grand total of 282 ultimately; Ferguson also sparked the mass culling of sheep and cattle in 2001 during an outbreak of foot and mouth disease, he also projected deaths of 136,000 from mad cow disease, the actual number of deaths was possibly as much as 177, Ferguson predicted in 2009 that swine flu would kill 65,000 people in the UK, it actually killed 457; note also that the vast majority of 1918 influenza casualties did not come from the flu but from bacterial pneumonia and bronchial meningitis which are easily treated today with antibiotics! "The Spanish flu that government virologists have invoked to terrorize generations of Americans with vaccine compliance is, after all, a paper tiger."
p 756: George W. Bush sure does comes off in this book as an easy dupe for Fauci and his plans.
p 757ff: 2009 Hong Kong swine flu (H1N1), another fraudulent epidemic that Fauci hyped once again, declaring it a pandemic, once again using Neil Ferguson to produce fraudulent, wildly exaggerated projections.
p 759: Marc Van Ranst on "how to stage a pandemic."
p 761: Links from a 2017 CDC study (as well as others) of increase in miscarriage rates within 28 days of having flu vaccine, and seven times greater rates for H1N1 vaccine recipients; Glaxo's H1N1 vaccine was pulled from the market.
p 763: Zika, 2016: Dr. Fauci misled the public saying that the zika virus caused microcephaly, which it does not, and Fauci had to have known this, because the disease was endemic to Central America for generations with no such association.
p 765ff: 2016 and Dengue: the Gates/Fauci dengue vaccine "was a death trap in a syringe." The clinical trials showed a signal of pathogenic priming/ADE, which "describes an enhanced immune response that can trigger system-wide inflammation and death when the vaccinated individual is re-exposed to the wild virus." See the Sanofi dengue vax Dengvaxia: in the trial some children who caught dengue after being vaxxed experienced dramatically worsened symptoms. Dr. Scott Halstead (who had studied dengue for more than 50 years) sounded the alarm but was ignored by Fauci and Sanofi. A year and a half later Sanofi announced the risks but by this time 800,000 Filipino children had been inoculated already and 600 had died. Fauci still went ahead with the vax ("we do not think this is going to be a showstopper in any way or form") and then launched more trials in Brazil. In May 2019 the FDA approved Sanofi's dengue vax for use in Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, but only for children with proof of a prior dengue infection. (!!) [in other words it looks like they knew about the ADE risk and approved this vax with this contingency in mind, but they still approved it. Jeez.]
p 773: See also the "Tony Fauci March Madness pandemic brackets" story, this is disturbing on several levels.
Chapter 12: Germ Games
p 789ff: A history of bioweapons research, beginning in 1943 on orders of FDR; Pharma company Merck involved as contractor; early research by the CIA on meds like LSD for enhanced interrogation; Project Artichoke May 1952; the suspicious death of Frank Olson who was a CIA officer involved in the program but had misgivings about it (note also that 22 years later the government admitted its guilt in his murder with an apology from President Gerald Ford and then-CIA director William Colby). In 1972 Nixon ultimately shuttered this entire program but there was a loophole for production of biological warfare agents for vaccine production, so the work continued.
p 791ff: Biosecurity agenda: most people date this to the October 2001 anthrax attacks, but it was in the works long before then.
p 794ff: On Robert Kadlec, a Doctor Strangelove knockoff with ties to spy agencies, Big Pharma, the Pentagon, military contractors, all of who profiteer from the spread of bioweapons alarmism. This guy is kidn of like the Anthony Fauci of the "biodefense-industrial complex"; creator with Johns Hopkins of all kinds of simulations for pandemics, all of them involving police powers, quarantines, martial law, deploying propaganda, censorship to silence dissent, etc.
p 797ff: The anthrax attacks of 2001 as highly likely to be a false flag event; see also the El-Hibri family from Lebanon, manufacturing anthrax virus vaccine for sale to the US military; see also the Dark Winter bioweapons war scenario (which predated the anthrax attack letters by less than 3 months--in other words it looks a lot like the Johns Hopkins pandemic response which had similar timing before COVID); these anthrax attacks also provided more "reasons" to attack Iraq and Saddam Hussein and/or Al-Qaeda.
p 806ff: On Judith Miller and her staggeringly inaccurate stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in The New York Times, ultimately playing a decisive role in validating the neocon warmongers' invasion of Iraq; also Scooter Libby was her source when she leaked the identity of a CIA agent, after getting out of jail (thanks to Trump's pardon), Libby (nicknamed "Germ Boy" at the White House) went to work with Robert Kadlec on his blue ribbon panel for biodefense.
p 810ff: On keeping fears alive about smallpox; increasing the US's store of the virus, also George W. Bush planning to inoculate the US population with smallpox vaccines; Note that the military still was vaccinated for smallpox, which produced high rates of myocarditis and other injuries; also the smallpox vaccine is one hypothesized source of Gulf War Syndrome.
p 812ff: 9/11 and the anthrax attacks led to a rapid passage of the Patriot Act.
p 817ff: Finally we get a connection to fauci with all this: where with all the bioweaponry spending there was an association with the NIAID, thus it effectively became an arm of the defense sector and this made Anthony Fauci a major player in biodefense and germ warfare.
p 825ff: A labyrinthine story here that eventually arrives at suspect anthrax vaccines, and then an orgy of funding for different COVID vaxes, Moderna, Novavax, BioNTech, etc. This section lacks a thread, it's like the author is throwing a bunch of spaghetti at the wall to try to see if anything sticks. This chapter is the weakest of the book.
P 834ff: Next we go into various government "germ-gaming" exercises to simulate smallpox epidemics, other epidemic response exercises to coordinate propaganda and impose "mass obedience" from the citizenry; as well as a discussion of psyops strategies/propaganda techniques [this may certainly be a topic worth exploring but it doesn't really fit here in this chapter, it's only loosely tied in, barely, in kind of a big picture sense of dramatically expanding government and bureaucratic control: "repetition of these exercises suggests that they serve as a kind of rehearsal or training drill for an underlying agenda to coordinate the global dismantlement of democratic governance."]
p 840ff: On the "value" of social isolation, discovered by the CIA as a wonderful mind control and compliance device.
p 842ff: See also the idea of repeated scenario planning (in this case of pandemics) as technique to groove and coordinate an orthodoxy among key political leaders, the press, the technocracy; likewise to prepare a populace to tolerate an abrogation of all their rights without resistance. See "Lockstep Simulation 2010" during the Obama era.
p 847ff: On the long-time connections between defense intelligence and American tech companies: "It's worth recalling here that the defense and intelligence agencies had a beachhead in the tech industry from its birth." See also DARPA's alleged role in launching (or helping to launch) Facebook, one of DARPA's key directors Regina Dugan moved to Google as an executive then moved to Facebook; See also In-Q-Tel, the CIA's "notorious investment firm" which offered many Silicon Valley corporations "state secret contracts" that could subject signatories to property forfeitures or even prison sentences, this all made many Silicon valley entrepreneurs functionally into indentured servants of the CIA. [This shit is creepy if it's true, it's hard to believe though.]
p 853ff: Returning to the idea that there were a wide range of simulated/war-gamed pandemic exercises, many involving Bill Gates, Johns Hopkins and the NIH; they all looked suspiciously just like the 2020 coronavirus event in that they all involved lockdowns, rigid censorship, suppression of dissent, degrading of civil rights and sovereignty, isolation, and then ending, interestingly, after mass vaccination campaigns! Another way to look at this is to say that the 2020 coronavirus pandemic followed these blueprints.
p 861ff: Gates bringing Bezos into the fold: "book burning" non-orthodox books on Amazon, running puff pieces in WaPo, etc.
p 864ff: Clade X: a new pandemic blueprint with no vaccine. Every single one of these scenarios ultimately ends up with tyrannical military control over everything. "...the repetition of the message that a global pandemic was inevitable, that only mandatory vaccines could avert catastrophe, and that obliteration of civil rights will be required."
p 874ff: "TOPOFF": the code name for the secret intelligence simulation for the lockstep imposition of global totalitarianism beginning in 2000, RFK discovered this program while researching this book; a plant that would operate across the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe, with the FBI. State Department, Intelligence Agencies and many private corporations, staging scenario planning around chemical or bioweapons attacks.
p 876ff: Event 201: Another simulation, just a few months before the actual COVID-19 event happened.
p 878: It's ironic to note that the actual COVID 19 emergency was "a dud" compared to all of these simulations, with its official death toll of 2.5 million deaths--which was probably exaggerated by 10 to 100x through various mechanisms--this is absolutely nothing on a global base of 8 billion people where it's to be expected to have 59 million deaths annually anyway!
p 879ff: Kennedy names and quotes a number of people involved in Event 201, their comments about disinformation, supporting thought-control, etc.; also note, interestingly, that many of the people involved in this simulation ended up taking powerful roles in managing COVID-19 when the real thing actually happened.
p 887ff: On the triumph of the military/intelligence complex; British spy agency MI6 surveilling foreigners all over the world (including Americans) who question official orthodoxies about COVID-19, etc.
