More and better truths than found in book by John F. Kennedy Jr.

Much to appreciate in excerpts from Pandemic Blunder - Fauci and Public Health Blocked Early Home COVID Treatment

Jun 20, 2023

Kennedy had many benefits that gave his book a huge advantage. But my book Pandemic Blunder published in Jan. 2021 nine months before his had better research, especially focused on medical information and the evil Fauci. Here are some key excerpts from my book, in case you have not read it. Note that Kennedy did not reference my earlier book with its condemnation of Fauci.

Part 3 Understanding what has caused and shaped the Pandemic Blunder

The most important habit to develop is to stop believing the end-

less statements and opinions spouted daily from the big mouth and

loose lips of Fauci. You have to learn to not get suckered in by his soft

voice and grandfatherly demeanor. Believe what a lot of smart medical

professionals know, namely that Fauci does not deserve the unlimited

and uncritical credibility the leftist media has given him for a long

time.

Do not give him credit for following “the science.” That line is just

something Fauci has learned to use frequently as his way of justifying

just about anything he is either promoting or criticizing. When others

do something he supports, they are following the science. When oth-

ers do something he disagrees with, they are not following the science.

In other words, “the science” is up to Fauci to define as either good or

bad. Of course, there really is objective science. Fauci chooses what

science is legitimate or good science and what is bad from his biased

perspective. He shows no respect for objective science. Of course, in

any rapidly developing medical area there will be many sources of data,

and they will differ from each other. But Fauci chooses only the data he

likes and ignores all the rest.

Here is a good way to understand Fauci: Science means whatever a

political tyrant wants it to mean.

On the subject of what scientific or medical data you can trust,

this has become more difficult as journals that publish studies have

increasingly come under criticism. There have been too many instances

of articles that get past peer reviews only to be seen later as fraudulent

or inaccurate and not worthy of being considered as good science. Too

many journals and their editors seem to have a political agenda. Too

many researchers have trouble getting articles accepted, because their

data do not agree with a particular position. A good example are study

data showing positive findings for HCQ.

If you pay close attention to exactly what Fauci says, you will notice

over time that he rarely cites specific scientific or medical data. Part of

his success as a propagandist is talking in generalities. This allows him

to do what he always has done, namely change positions on important

policies or actions. So, he can change from being against mask use to

being for it. From being for school closings to being against them.

Consider him a proverbial snake oil salesman. From comparing the

COVID virus to a bad flu to proclaiming it a calamity. From saying

you don’t need to “change anything you’re doing” to pushing strong

contagion controls. From using models to predict deaths and telling

reporters, “You can’t really rely on models.”

The use of some models by Fauci, notably the Imperial College

model, to persuade President Trump to lock down the entire US econ-

omy had a devastating impact. At one point the fraudulent model pre-

dicted 2.2 million American deaths from the coronavirus pandemic.

Many professionals called that model a sham and garbage. Did Fauci

ever issue a public, heartfelt apology? No.

In November 2020, Senator Rand Paul, following Fauci’s statement

on ABC’s This Week about prioritizing keeping schools open, stated

that Fauci owes “every single parent and school-age child in America”

an apology for prior statements.

In December 2020, Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard said this

about Fauci’s views on pandemic management: “You need to know

the infectious-disease epidemiology, and that is something that I have

been studying for many decades, but it is not an area of expertise of

Dr. Fauci. It is surprising to me that he makes statements on the epide-

miology of the pandemic, which, to be honest, he has made a number

of erroneous statements on this aspect. So that reduces the trust in

public health again when people hear that and then realize that that

was wrong.” In other words, Fauci has never had a problem in limiting

his public pronouncement on what he is truly expert on, which is not

what he has done most of the time.

In January 2020, Fauci warned Trump that the nation was in real

trouble, but the same month on television he told the public that the

country did not have to worry and that the coronavirus was “not a ma-

jor threat.” Do you still want to trust what Fauci says?

In December 2020, Joy Pullmann in The Federalist summed things

up nicely: “Fauci has shown himself, with the help of our anti-Amer-

ican media, highly effective at manipulating public perception. That’s

about all he’s capable at, it seems.”

One term that Fauci has used to justify his lack of support for

HCQ is randomized controlled trial, discussed previously. To add more

ammunition to disbelieving what Fauci says is his citing a lack of RCT

for HCQ. First, any professional who deals with any aspect of drug

testing and approval knows the vast literature that has shown over and

over that RCTs are not the only sound way to get evidence that a drug

is safe and effective. For sure, Fauci knew for decades that RCTs could

never be used as the sole reason for denying government approval or

support for a drug, especially a drug like HCQ that had long been

used as an approved medicine for a number of diseases. Using HCQ

for the COVID infection should have been allowed by the NIH and

FDA. Fauci simply lied to the public when he invoked an absence of

RCTs for HCQ. What incredible arrogance. He used an argument that

countless professionals knew was hokum. But he went public with his

argument because he knew it sounded sensible to uninformed, regular

people. He used science to deceive and misinform the public. Just more

reason as you try to use valid information to ignore what Fauci says.

Moreover, Fauci has ignored the federal law, discussed previous-

ly, that sanctions the use of Real World Evidence. As a fake scientist,

Fauci has consistently failed to use so much available evidence given

previously for using well-tested early home/outpatient treatments for

COVID. Sensible Americans should always ask why Fauci has exhib-

ited such corrupt behavior.

The more you believe what Fauci says, the more you will be risking

your health and life. If you have come to fully appreciate all the nega-

tive aspects of Fauci, then watch and listen to him more as entertain-

ment than a source of valid and useful information. There is value in

understanding how Fauci is misleading and misdirecting Americans. In

this way you will better appreciate that he is using disinformation and

propaganda to advance his agenda, which is more political than medi-

cal. See Fauci as a corrupt person with incredible unchecked power. He

is totally different than and inferior to the frontline doctors who have

been taking so many risks in providing early home/outpatient COVID

care. They are behaving against all the official government directives of

the public health and regulatory systems.

Never forget that Fauci has used his power to block wide use of

HCQ both as a prophylaxis and cure for COVID infection. The lack

of guidance from the NIH for any home treatment also undercuts use

of IVM by physicians, though Fauci has not spoken about it.

Even when you are exposed to information coming from the CDC

and FDA, understand that they are like puppets who are being con-

trolled by Fauci.andemic

3.1 Powerful forces block early home/outpatient COVID treatment

Nearly every part of the political, government, medical, public

health, traditional media, and social media establishments and systems

have been extremely focused, or more correctly obsessed, with the nega-

tive aspects of the pandemic.

Nearly all of the information and news reaching the public repre-

sent suppression of good news about pillar one, early home/outpatient

treatment. To some degree there has also been a lot of coverage of stud-

ies that give negative results about the medicines and protocols used

for early home/outpatient treatment. This amounts to disinformation

aimed at damping down or completely blocking interest in early home/

outpatient treatments that, as presented in Part 2 of this book, consid-

erable data say really are effective.

Is it also useful, as in a worst possible scenario about the COVID

pandemic, to contemplate that there has been an intentional scam or

hoax perpetrated on the public? If so, has this been done to use the

pandemic to give power to a multitude of government local, state, and

federal officials to control the lives of Americans? Possibly. The use of

authoritarian and unconstitutional contagion controls seen by many

people definitely support this view. All kinds of mandates coming from

local and state officials have come to be seen correctly by millions of

Americans as arbitrary and capricious, and certainly not based on good

scientific data. Especially with respect to school closings and lockdowns

killing incredible numbers of restaurants, for example.

In November 2020, one person with terrific medical credentials

offered a very negative view of what the pandemic really is. He is Dr.

Roger Hodkinson, a Canadian. He received his general medical de-

grees from Cambridge University in the UK. Following a residency at

the University of British Columbia, he became a Royal College certi-

fied general pathologist (FRCPC) and also a Fellow of the College of

American Pathologists (FCAP). He is in good standing with the College

of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, and has been recognized by the

Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta as an expert in pathology. He is also

the CEO of a biotech company that manufactures COVID tests.

Noting his credentials is so important because of what he has said

publicly. A full transcript of his interview is on the website lifesitenews.

com. “There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media

and politicians; it’s outrageous; this is the greatest hoax ever perpe-

trated on an unsuspecting public,” said Hodkinson.

Moreover, the doctor said that nothing could be done to stop the

spread of the virus besides protecting older, more vulnerable people

and that the whole situation represented “politics playing medicine,

and that’s a very dangerous game.”

On specific contagion controls, Hodkinson said, “Social distanc-

ing is useless because COVID is spread by aerosols which travel thirty

meters or so before landing.” This is a lot more than the six feet gov-

ernment agencies refer to. Hodkinson also slammed mandatory mask

mandates as completely pointless. “Masks are utterly useless. There is

no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever,” he said. “Paper

masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling. They’re not even

worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous. Seeing these

unfortunate, uneducated people—I’m not saying that in a pejorative

sense—seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying

without any knowledge base to put the mask on their face.”

The doctor has also criticized the unreliability of PCR tests, noting

that “positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical

infection,” and that...the false numbers are “driving public hysteria.”

Consistent with what was said in the previous Part 2 discussion,

he also called for protecting the vulnerable such as those in nursing

homes by giving them “3,000 to 5,000 international units of vitamin

D every day, which has been shown to radically reduce the likelihood

of infection.”

This is how Hodkinson summed things up about all the pandem-

ic actions: “I’m absolutely outraged that this has reached this level; it

should all stop tomorrow.”

You may think that these are extreme viewpoints, but there are

a great many medical professionals who share these views, although

most are too concerned about negative impacts of going public with

such views. Despite there being strong scientific merit to the views

expressed by Hodkinson, he has received considerable criticisms from

many establishment groups. His response: “I adamantly stand by my

statements.”

The bottom line for Hodkinson is also compatible with the think-

ing of many others, namely the call for society to be re-opened im-

mediately to stop and remedy the debilitating damage being caused

by lockdowns. As presented earlier, this is consistent with the Great

Barrington Declaration.

3.2 Federal agencies block doctors, restrict

care, and feed a conspiracy

The refusal by NIH to provide guidance for using pillar one treat-

ment and the continued blocking of HCQ use by the FDA define a

massive national strategy to hold back support for using what has been

detailed in the previous part of this book.

The eminent Dr. Peter McCullough got it right in an op-ed article

in The Hill in August 2020, titled, “Why doctors and researchers need

access to hydroxychloroquine.” “On July 6, a team of doctors from

Henry Ford Hospital, supported by physicians from Baylor University

Medical Center, submitted an urgent request to the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) to reauthorize use of hydroxychloroquine

(HCQ) for early treatment of COVID-19. Since that day, more than

25,000 more Americans have died from the virus as COVID-19 con-

tinues to burn through communities across America. If the results of

a recent Henry Ford Hospital study are accurate, at least half of these

patients might have been saved by HCQ. ... HCQ was singled out as

a political football early in spring—right after President Trump urged

the medical community to consider HCQ.” FDA refused to save lives.

McCollough also noted this: “The politicization of HCQ is an on-

going tragedy. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

has more than 60 million HCQ tablets sitting in its warehouses. Absent

a new Emergency Use Authorization, FEMA cannot ship this valuable

medicine for appropriate ‘off-label’ treatment of COVID-19 patients.”

The HCQ stockpile remains unused as of December 2020. A lawsuit

against FDA to free up the stockpile by the American Association of

Physicians and Surgeons failed. The group noted FDA officials “care

more about their power over the HCQ stockpile than the lives being

lost daily without access to it.”

Several formal requests to the FDA for emergency use authoriza-

tion (EUA) for HCQ failed. Here is some important information on

EUAs.

The FDA can grant an EUA to a drug to treat COVID-19 and

facilitate the distribution of new therapeutics when there are no alter-

natives. Many have speculated that the refusal to approve HCQ was

motivated by FDA interest in removing an “alternative” that would

make granting EUAs to other drugs more difficult. EUAs are impor-

tant tools during the early stages of any pandemic because they loosen

restrictions on novel treatment options. But one issue is that they inter-

fere with clinical trials that would provide the best evidence on whether

these drugs are safe and effective.

The EUA means it is “reasonable to believe” that the drug “may

be effective.” This “may be effective” standard is a much lower level of

evidence compared to the “effectiveness” standard the FDA uses for

drug approvals.

Not receiving much attention is the fact that there are over thirty

American medical societies or organizations that almost entirely fol-

low what the three top federal agencies dealing with the pandemic say

and do: NIH, FDA, and CDC, all in the Department of Health and

Human Services. They have chosen deliberately to not provide support

for early home/outpatient COVID treatment including preventive ac-

tions by people, as discussed previously. This is why most American

physicians, no matter what their work settings, do not provide their

patients any of the large array of medicines and protocols detailed pre-

viously. Note that an attempt to change the policy of the largest soci-

ety, the American Medical Association, and reverse its position against

HCQ failed in November 2020.

The net result is that the traditional medical freedom of doctors to

treat their patients as they best determine has been wiped out by all lev-

els of government actions, including the whole public health system.

A “Petition For Medical Freedom” was initiated by the United

Medical Freedom Super PAC; a letter was sent to many senior federal

officials as well as state governors. Here are some excerpts:

“Various agencies, such as the FDA, FTC, CDC, NIH, state li-

censing boards and state pharmacy boards have inserted themselves

between the physicians of this country and their patients who are seek-

ing treatment for COVID-19 illness. Physicians have been trained for

years and know their patients better than any federal or state agencies.

Physicians should have the right to treat their patients as they see fit

and as they have clinically assessed each individual, without govern-

mental interference or fear of retribution.

“Recently the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent cease-and-

desist letters to hundreds of licensed doctors across the country. These

physicians are being threatened with legal action from the FTC if they

discuss with patients, or anyone, what they have researched, discovered,

and experienced as beneficial for patients with COVID-19 illness. The

FTC is therefore practicing medicine without a license, which disrupts

the patient/physician decision-making process.

“Governors, often covertly in conjunction with state pharmacy

boards, have made it very difficult or impossible for patients to get

filled their COVID-19 prescriptions, which are written by physicians

properly licensed by their state medical boards. Such governors and

pharmacy boards are inserting themselves into the patient-physician

relationship.

“There have been statements made to the media and the public by

representatives of the National Institutes of Health and the Food and

Drug Administration that US doctors should not treat COVID-19

outpatients prior to the completion of randomized, controlled trials

(RCT) showing the benefit of outpatient treatment of COVID-19.

“Unless we put Medical Freedom into the Constitution, the time

will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictator-

ship. To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal

privileges to others will constitute the bastille of medical science. All

such laws are un-American and despotic...The Constitution of the

Republic should make special provisions for Medical Freedom as well

as Religious Freedom.”

This prescient statement surely has not been seen by many

Americans. It was written by Dr. Benjamin Rush, George Washington’s

personal doctor, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Surgeon

General of the Continental Army, and Fellow of the American Academy

of Arts and Sciences.

Here is the critical point. When doctors lose their medical free-

dom, so do patients. Medical liberty is destroyed for American society.

This means ordinary people suffer inadequate COVID care because

both the health care and public health systems fail them. The fact that

death rates from COVID are generally low on average, less than about

1 percent, does not tell the whole story. For those who must go to

hospital, even if they survive, they and their loved ones go through a

lot of pain and suffering, and COVID victims may have bad long-term

effects of the disease progressing past the initial virus replication phase.

That is why early treatment is so important.

Everything the government has done nourishes and sustains what

can be viewed as a vast national conspiracy. The word “conspiracy” has

taken on a negative connotation. But whether or not there are centrally

directed actions and explicit communications, it is fair to see what has

transpired as a conspiracy of like-minded people in authority to effec-

tively shape public knowledge about the pandemic, as well as control

medical treatments.

This broad, national effort by so many power actors and elites

has created the big pandemic blunder. Meaning that pillar one, early

home/outpatient treatment is kept mostly invisible, no matter how

strongly innovative frontline physicians attempt to get their good news

out about their clinical experience. In many cases, actions by these

courageous doctors have been blocked on social media and not just

ignored by the leftist mainstream media.

As to what the government and its allies have done, it is important

to understand that so much of the data they emphasize do not warrant

public trust. For example, consider what the distinguished Stanford

University professor John Ioannidis (an expert in medicine, epidemi-

ology, population health, biomedical data science, and statistics) has

said. He is quite famous for his article “Why Most Published Research

Findings Are False.”

As to the COVID pandemic he said:

“The data collected so far on how many people are infected and

how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable. Given the limited

testing to date, some deaths and probably the vast majority of infec-

tions due to SARS-CoV-2 are being missed. We don’t know if we are

failing to capture infections by a factor of three or 300...Patients who

have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with se-

vere symptoms and bad outcomes. As most health systems have limited

testing capacity, selection bias may even worsen in the near future.”

“The numbers are almost meaningless,” says Steve Goodman, a

professor of epidemiology at Stanford University. “There’s a huge reser-

voir of people who have mild cases, and would not likely seek testing,”

he says. “The rate of increase in positive results reflects a mixed-up

combination of increased testing rates and spread of the virus.”

If you cannot trust government data, then why trust their refusal to

support early home/outpatient COVID treatment?

A September 2020 CDC publication gave informative data on

HCQ prescriptions at retail stores (not mail order). The prescriptions

showed an eighty-fold increase from March 2019 to March 2020, sure-

ly due to use for fighting COVID infections. In March through June

2020, there likely were 680,000 HCQ prescriptions for treating the vi-

rus, an average of 170,000 per month. However, after the government

clamp-down by the FDA, prescriptions in May and June dropped to an

average of 80,000 a month. This change might explain increased death

rates as many frontline doctors stopped prescribing HCQ for COVID

patients.

Here is a key question. Is there a de facto leader of the movement

or conspiracy against pillar one options? A person with enough power

to shape the actions and commitments of all parts of the national sys-

tem addressing the pandemic? A person who has been given the power

mainly through endless, daily media attention to engender public trust

and confidence? A person who receives daily adoration by the leftist

media and high-level government officials? A person who uses both

behind-the-scenes government power and public exposure and engage-

ment to perpetuate the crisis mentality of the pandemic? The answer is

yes to all these questions.

That person is Dr. Anthony Fauci of the NIH, who wields enor-

mous power to suppress pillar one from receiving strong public, gov-

ernment, and media support. More about him follows.

3.3 Fauci has the power and is the main culprit

As mentioned earlier, Fauci has been the director of the National

Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the US National Institutes

of Health for thirty-six years. The first thing to emphasize is that di-

verse actions have made Fauci far more immune from criticism than

the public is immune from the coronavirus.

The US leftist mainstream news media has worked to create an

image for Fauci as a unique, nation-saving, neutral scientist, physi-

cian, and public health expert. The public has been snookered. He

has made himself the king of virus medicine through constant media

appearances far beyond what is normal for a medical researcher. What

the media seems unable to remember is that he is part of a research

organization, not a public health or drug approval agency. As much a

tyrant as a virus expert, Fauci has stubbornly refused to admit his big

mistakes, namely not supporting HCQ use nor early home/outpatient

treatment to catch the coronavirus in its first replication stage.

It is wise to see media-crazy Fauci as a narcissist who is routinely

terrorizing the public with talk about expensive medicines for hospi-

tal patients and vaccines and peddling fear by talking about 300,000

to 400,000 deaths. It appears that Fauci has Narcissistic Personality

Disorder, which is characterized by an increased sense of self-impor-

tance and excessive urge for admiration. Such an individual has trouble

taking criticism, which certainly appears true for Fauci.

The eminent Dr. Peter McCullough got it right in his op-ed article

in August 2020. “HCQ was singled out as a political football early in

spring. ... [Fauci’s] opposition has become a rallying cry of the left-

leaning mainstream media’s ‘Hydroxy Hysteria.’ The politicization of

HCQ is an ongoing tragedy.”

What Fauci has mostly been, in fact, is a remarkably successful

bureaucrat for his multibillion-dollar operation. He is also a brilliant

manipulator of the media to create and sustain a popular image that

hardly anyone is willing to attack during the pandemic. He is a master

of staying in the public limelight through television, radio, and newspa-

per interviews, and a constant presence on many websites. Conference

after conference gets Fauci to be a main speaker. It is a full-time job to

stay in the public limelight, to ensure that any article or show on the

pandemic features Fauci.

What few people understand is that Fauci also has a political agen-

da. So much of what he does and says in a very public way has support-

ed the massive anti-Trump movement, especially in the mainstream

news media, which is remarkably liberal and Democrat Party oriented.

Anti-Trump media has successfully cloaked Fauci in a myth of a public

health expert, the ultimate and final arbiter of what is needed to fight

the pandemic. In fact, what is hidden from the public is that his views

and actions have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths from the

virus. Countless numbers of people who have suffered awful medical

distress and economic pain remain ignorant of the very dark side of

Fauci if they depend on leftist mainstream news.

In a world where true justice prevailed, Fauci would be prosecuted

for crimes against humanity for preventing widespread pillar one medi-

cines and protocols that could have, and still can, prevent countless

deaths. This started when Fauci decided to condemn the use of HCQ

and get the NIH to prevent any action for home/outpatient COVID

treatment.

A most important analysis on the Real Clear Politics website

was an original essay (unusual for this website to publish) in August

2020, titled “An Effective COVID Treatment the Media Continues to

Besmirch” by Steven Hatfill, a highly respected physician and veteran

virologist.

It noted that “the ‘Fauci Strategy’ was to keep early infected pa-

tients quarantined at home without treatment until they developed

a shortness of breath and had to be admitted to a hospital. ... The

Food and Drug Administration cluelessly agreed to this doctrine and it

stated in its hydroxychloroquine Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)

that ‘hospitalized patients were likely to have a greater prospect of ben-

efit (compared to ambulatory patients with mild illness).’ In reality

just the opposite was true. This was a tragic mistake by Fauci and FDA

Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn. It was a mistake that would cost the

lives of thousands of Americans in the days to come.”

Here is more of what the insightful Hatfill said: “When the

COVID-19 pandemic began, a search was made for suitable antiviral

therapies to use as treatment until a vaccine could be produced. One

drug, hydroxychloroquine, was found to be the most effective and safe

for use against the virus. ...there was no guidance from Dr. Anthony

Fauci or the NIH Treatment Guidelines Panel on what role the drug

would play in the national pandemic response. Fauci seemed to be un-

aware that there actually was a national pandemic plan for respiratory

viruses. Following a careful regimen developed by doctors in France,

some knowledgeable practicing US physicians began prescribing hy-

droxychloroquine to patients still in the early phase of COVID infec-

tion. Its effects seemed dramatic. Patients still became sick, but for the

most part they avoided hospitalization. In contrast—and in error—the

NIH-funded studies somehow became focused on giving hydroxychlo-

roquine to late-presenting hospitalized patients. This was in spite of

the fact that unlike the drug’s early use in ambulatory patients, there

was no real data to support the drug’s use in more severe hospitalized

patients.” Hatfill got this exactly right and recognized the pioneering

efforts of Dr. Zelenko and a few other American doctors.

Hatfill correctly noted more about the history of bad Fauci and

government thinking: “Accumulating data showed remarkable results

if hydroxychloroquine were given to patients early, during a seven-day

window from the time of first symptom onset. If given during this

window, most infections did not progress into the severe, lethal second

stage of the disease. Patients still got sick, but they avoided hospital-

ization or the later transfer to an intensive care unit. In mid-April a

high-level memo was sent to the FDA alerting them to the fact that the

best use for hydroxychloroquine was for its early use in still ambulatory

COVID patients. These patients were quarantined at home but were

not short of breath and did not yet require supplemental oxygen and

hospitalization. Failing to understand that COVID-19 could be a two-

stage disease process, the FDA ignored the memo and it withdrew its

EUA for hydroxychloroquine based on flawed studies and clinical trials

that were applicable only to late-stage COVID patients.”

This was a horrendously poor government decision that to this

day explains why there has been no wide use of early home/outpa-

tient COVID treatment that could keep people healthy and out of the

hospital.

Even after increasing evidence that HCQ was effective, Hatfill not-

ed, “Fauci continued to ignore the ever accumulating and remarkable

early-use data on hydroxychloroquine and he became focused on a new

antiviral compound named remdesivir. This was an experimental drug

that had to be given intravenously every day for five days. It was never

suitable for major widespread outpatient or at-home use as part of a

national pandemic plan. We now know that remdesivir has no effect

on overall COVID patient mortality and it costs thousands of dollars

per patient. Hydroxychloroquine, by contrast, costs 60 cents a tablet, it

can be taken at home, it fits in with the national pandemic plan for re-

spiratory viruses.” Clearly, Hatfill at an early time correctly assessed the

potential for pillar one emphasis, though at the time it was only HCQ

getting attention, and not the multi-ingredient cocktail approach, usu-

ally including zinc and an antibiotic like doxycycline.

If you accept the abundant evidence that hydroxychloroquine is

both an effective preventive as well as a cure when prescribed by doc-

tors at an early point, especially before hospitalization, then you begin

to understand why Fauci has blood on his hands. It is reasonable to

hope that an accurate historical analysis of this pandemic will show

this, just as Hatfill accurately analyzed in August 2020.

In September 2020, Jordan Schachtel summed up things nicely in

his article “Mad scientist: Fauci demands total U.S. shutdown until

COVID vaccine arrives.” “There is no basis for Fauci’s claim that he

can manipulate society into stopping the virus. He is either a victim of

the illusion of control, or he has embraced total deception as part of

his power drunk campaign to stay in the spotlight,” he said. He also

said that Fauci had ignored “the devastating side effects of his favored

heavy-handed approaches. The economic and societal ramifications

from his implemented COVID lockdowns have devastated millions

of American families, putting millions out of work, and millions more

into positions of severe hardship, all to combat a virus with a 99.8%

recovery rate.” Also, Fauci was “continuing with his fearmongering,

pseudoscience campaigns.” Exactly right.

3.4 Exactly what is wrong with Fauci

Few medical professionals speak publicly about Fauci. Why? With

his huge annual budget of nearly $6 billion, he dispenses about $4

billion a year to outside people and groups. Many physicians and epi-

demiologists have widely divergent professional opinions. But they fear

talking about Fauci and losing financial support. Three frontline doc-

tors sent a detailed letter in August 2020 to Fauci with many serious

questions. But Fauci did not respond. One of those doctors observed

“rigorous questioning of Dr. Fauci with challenges from his peers has

never occurred. Dr. Fauci’s opinions remain not only unchallenged,

but those with opposing views are censored.”

But people in the conservative arena have been finding fault with

Fauci. Here are some examples of insightful criticism.

Don’t be fooled by his grandfather demeanor. Recognize that he

is a subversive collaborator with the leftist media campaign against

President Trump. Worse, as a physician he has failed his oath to first do

no harm. Daily, the mainstream media treats Fauci as a deity, but there

have been some critics with wise observations, mostly in conservative

media. These views counter the propaganda of the mainstream media.

Jim Hoft on The Gateway Pundit website said: “From the begin-

ning of this pandemic Fauci has been completely misguided and in-

accurate in his predictions and treatment of the Chinese COVID-19

virus.”

Brent Smith on the WND website asked the right question: “How

does Dr. Anthony Fauci still have a job? He’s part of the Inside-the-

Beltway Deep State and has attempted to undermine the president

since he was elevated to the position of Doctor COVID Know-it-All.”

Thomas Lifson on The American Thinker website made this wise

observation: “The suppression of the use of hydroxychloroquine in

combination with zinc to treat COVID-19 amounts to the biggest

public health scandal since the Tuskegee Study.”

Stacey Lennox on the PJ Media website correctly noted: “Every

possible outpatient treatment from HCQ to inhaled corticosteroids

has been suppressed or ignored by the NIH and FDA and Dr. Fauci

specifically. This dismissal of early outpatient treatment is unconscio-

nable as is the suppression and silencing of clinicians who have obser-

vational data to share from caring for actual patients.”

On the FDA stopping HCQ use, Dr. Kristin Held, president of the

American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, said it “contributed

to increased COVID cases and death.... Who bears responsibility for

such evil? ...Dr. Fauci failed us. We were not prepared, and prepared-

ness was his charge. He can no longer be trusted.”

There is a good case for thinking of Fauci as a new kind of war

criminal. This fits with the view that the US has been fighting a war

against the China coronavirus. There are valid reasons for believing

that Fauci has violated public trust in him because he has willfully

deceived the public.

What explains his behavior? Fauci has a long history of being very

close to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the World Health

Organization (WHO). WHO has been in the pocket of the CCP and

played a key role in letting the pandemic loose on the world. It also

has not done what it could have in promoting global use of HCQ.

Fauci helped steer US funding for creating the Wuhan lab that let loose

the CCP virus and has been proud of working with Chinese scientists

while ignoring that they are beholden to the CCP.

Also note on January 21, 2020 in the Washington Post, Fauci said

the CCP virus “is not a major threat for the people of the United States

and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right

now should be worried about.” In fact, toward the end of December

2019 and early in January 2020, there was evidence that a very danger-

ous, contagious virus had been unleashed from China, though WHO

ignored the evidence.

Another aspect of Fauci’s failing is that he stubbornly dismissed

a great many studies and test results showing the efficacy and safe-

ty of HCQ by only supporting extensive, lengthy, randomized,

placebo-controlled, double-blind studies. As discussed previously,

many doctors have noted there are countless highly used prescription

medicines that have never gone through such lengthy and expensive

three-phase testing. Why has Fauci stubbornly refused to acknowledge

and accept the positive findings from all kinds of other studies by clini-

cians in the US and a number of other countries?

As noted on Bloomberg News in August 2020, Fauci said that

health experts are unanimous about this medicine, meaning his view

that HCQ was ineffective. This was a total lie. You have to wonder why

he would proclaim such a wrong statement in the face of many pub-

lished writings indicating just the opposite. The obvious explanation is

that he wants to purposefully mislead the public and attack the great

many physicians advocating the early use of HCQ.

Here is an important example of Fauci’s leftist mindset. It is hard

to understand Fauci’s July 2020 praising of New York State’s handling

of the pandemic on a National Public Radio interview. This was long

after widespread condemnation of its incredibly high death rate. This

also illustrates the sheer ego and belief of being immune to public criti-

cism that defines Fauci. Leftist views and propaganda were addressed

by Dennis Prager, who aptly said leftists had “weaponized medicine.”

A most important aspect of Fauci’s leftist proclivity was re-

vealed in the July 2020 PJ Media website article “Dr. Fauci: ‘There’s

No Inconsistency’ in Banning Church and Business But Allowing

Mass Protests.” This was the big point: “During a House Judiciary

Committee hearing on Friday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pressed Dr.

Anthony Fauci on whether the government should restrict the massive

Black Lives Matter protests across the country in order to slow the

spread of the coronavirus. Fauci admitted that crowds full of people

not wearing masks would likely spread the virus, but he refused to say

whether or not protests would do so. He also refused to make any rec-

ommendations on limiting protests, even though he had made many

recommendations in the past.”

In a similar vein, in an article in The Washington Examiner in

October 2020, Emma Colton put Fauci on the spot by getting him

to refuse to criticize a large leftist women’s march as a virus-spreading

event, in contrast to his widely spread comment criticizing a rather

small White House event.

In other words, the constantly pontificating Fauci chose not to

criticize leftist street activities even though they clearly did not follow

his sacred contagion controls.

In a similar vein, in October 2020, as soon as candidate Biden

talked about a national mandate for masks, Fauci said on news shows

it would be a “great idea” to have a national mask mandate. Surely he

knew that the federal government had no such power; it was up to

states.

A very important point to make about Fauci is that he poses as a

public health official, but does not fully acknowledge all the negative

impacts of actions he advocates. Particularly, he ignores many nega-

tive health impacts from contagion controls, especially lockdowns that

seriously harm American society and economy. Neither is Fauci an epi-

demiologist. Trained as a physician, he is a super-bureaucrat who has

largely supplanted the CDC, the Surgeon General, and the FDA.

On the ProPublica.org website it was revealed in the October

2020 article “Who Decides When Vaccine Studies Are Done? Internal

Documents Show Fauci Plays a Key Role” that Fauci has the power

to control whether a vaccine gets approved or not, though it appears

to the public that the FDA has that power. It noted, “Dr. Anthony

Fauci will see data from government-funded vaccine trials before the

FDA does.” This also was noted: “Fauci’s role in overseeing the com-

panies that are participating in Operation Warp Speed arises from a

unique arrangement that the government set up to monitor the trials.

Typically, clinical trials set up their own independent panels of scien-

tists, known as a data safety monitoring board or DSMB, to watch out

for safety concerns or early signs of success. But all of the vaccine trials

in Operation Warp Speed are sharing a common DSMB whose mem-

bers were selected by Fauci’s agency, the NIAID.”

3.5 The corruption of money

A great example of how money and greed have corrupted pan-

demic management by the government is the case of the patented,

high-priced drug remdesivir, used for hospital patients and given to

President Trump, noted by Hatfill.

An inevitable, logical, and necessary question to consider is exactly

why has Fauci chosen to sacrifice the lives of so many people by dis-

missing the benefits of hydroxychloroquine at a very early time in the

pandemic, and even now? And why has he championed remdesivir?

Fauci for decades has had close relationships with the largest global

pharmaceutical companies. A main reason was his work years ago on

fighting the AIDS epidemic, for which a number of new drugs became

successful treatment. Blocking widescale use of extremely low-cost

generic medicines like HCQ and IVM is key to safeguarding trillions

of dollars to be made for worldwide treatment drugs, therapeutics, and

vaccines for the COVID pandemic.

A big example is Gilead Sciences Inc., which produces remdesivir.

It said it would charge US hospitals $3,120 per patient with typical

commercial insurance. It is for critically ill patients in hospitals only.

As said by Hatfill, “Hydroxychloroquine, by contrast, costs 60 cents a

tablet, it can be taken at home, it fits in with the national pandemic

plan for respiratory viruses, and a course of therapy simply requires

swallowing three tablets in the first 24 hours followed by one tablet

every 12 hours for five days.”

Fauci’s group ran the key study on remdesivir and publicly pro-

claimed positive results before the results were peer reviewed and

published in a medical journal. So much for scientific integrity. The

government spent at least $70.5 million of taxpayer money on its de-

velopment. He got the drug approved before usual phase 3 testing was

completed, and paid for the clinical trial. Significantly, the NIH ad-

visory panel that reviewed remdesivir for the FDA had, among fifty-

four scientific panel members, eighteen with financial ties to pharma

companies.

During 2020, articles appeared highlighting the competition be-

tween HCQ and remdesivir to fight the pandemic. But the competi-

tion was lopsided, like a kite competing against a jet plane. Why? So

much money and so many powerful people pushing remdesivir. So

little money to be made from using HCQ.

What about the medical and scientific proof? It is like night and

day. Remdesivir has only been shown to modestly reduce hospital time

by a few days. In contrast, as shown previously, HCQ in countless

studies has been shown to cut hospitalizations and deaths. When rem-

desivir was in clinical studies, the government (Fauci) and Gilead clev-

erly changed what measured outcome effectiveness. The protocol was

changed after the trial started, a very unorthodox procedure. Rather

than measure death, the length of hospital stay, a far less rigorous

measure, was deemed to determine success against COVID-19. Why?

Because remdesivir did not reduce the death rate significantly. With

billions of dollars at stake, they needed a way to make the drug a mar-

ket success, despite a cost of thousands of dollars per patient.

Data on remdesivir just published by the University of Minnesota

showed it “had little effect in patients with moderate COVID-19 in

105 hospitals in the United States, Europe, and Asia in a randomized,

controlled trial...adding to a mixed picture of the drug in random-

ized clinical trials (RCTs), which are considered the gold standard for

gauging interventions.” Similarly, a physician on an emergency medi-

cine blog, rebelem.com, presented a detailed analysis and concluded,

“Combining all the evidence we have thus far, remdesivir is far from a

savior in COVID-19.”

In a strange coincidence of timing, the same day that news hit

about Trump catching the virus, The Washington Post had a major story

in September 2020 with the headline “Remdesivir may not cure coro-

navirus, but it’s on track to make billions for Gilead.” What first ap-

pears as a puff piece promoting remdesivir reveals on close reading a

number of points that should shake up people.

Here are some examples:

An official with the Association of American Medical Colleges

pointed out the “flattening demand” and “If it prevented people from

dying, there would be a different demand.”

A noted clinician and researcher said, “Remdesivir is not the an-

swer to the epidemic. It’s going to play a role in helping a few people.”

Fauci was said to declare remdesivir a “modest weapon against the

disease but said it would be the standard of care.” But such a standard

would not apply to the multitude of people not in a hospital. Without

allowing a standard of care for HCQ, it is largely doomed.

Another physician spoke of the drug probably offering “some

benefit.”

The Post noted that the drug “reduces hospital stays from 15 to

11 days but does not significantly reduce the odds of dying of the

coronavirus.”

Dr. Mark Siedner, an infectious disease expert at Massachusetts

General Hospital, said, “Remdesivir is not the answer to the epidemic.

It’s going to play a role in helping a few people. Is it going to help

us in lockdowns, school closures and cancellation of football seasons?

Absolutely not.”

As to granting standard of care recognition for remdesivir, it has

been noted on the Federalist website in August 2020 that the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) panel had members with financial ties to

the manufacturer, Gilead, and that the same panel ruled against HCQ

as a standard of care.

In May 2020 on The National Interest website, the article “Head to

Head: Is Chloroquine or Remdesivir the Drug to Treat Coronavirus?”

noted correctly that “there is no fair test of the two top contending

treatments being conducted.” Fauci was clearly seen as a promoter of

remdesivir. And, just as more work would show, this article correctly

noted the serious side effect, namely “abnormal liver function.”

Indeed, the European drugs regulator said that its safety commit-

tee was reviewing reports of acute kidney injury in some COVID-19

patients who had been given remdesivir.

Noted researcher Dr. Pascal Sacré, in an article on the Global

Research website with the intriguing title “COVID-19 – Remdesivir:

License to Kill. Hydroxychloroquine: Prohibition to Cure,” concluded:

“Remdesivir can cause severe kidney failure (requiring dialysis, kidney

transplant), liver failure, genetic mutation, heart problems up to cardi-

ac arrest, among others. This is the truth.” He also noted “Remdesivir’s

fight against Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is somewhat symbolic of the

fight of medical journals, of corrupt institutions against field medicine,

of the many general practitioners who are at the bedside.”

A French publication said we “strongly believe that Veklury (rem-

desivir) is a harmful drug and that this evidence has been concealed by

Gilead. We believe that the lobbying operation conducted in the media

and certain public health authorities in order to discredit hydroxychlo-

roquine, specifically in hospitals, was intended to make remdesivir the

only solution in this situation.”

Trump will have to be checked for some time for side effects from

remdesivir.

Dr. Lee D. Merritt in an article in the Fall 2020 issue of the Journal

of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons unraveled the

question of why Fauci has been so negative about HCQ: “Why is he

so strongly promoting the $3,600 remdesivir and almost totally ig-

noring the $20 HCQ regimen, other than to say the latter is of ‘un-

proven benefit’?” Are there conflicts of interest? She noted that Fauci is

an integral part of a vaccine coalition, specifically the Global Vaccine

Action Plan (GVAP), a collaboration of the Bill and Melinda Gates

Foundation and Fauci’s group. Fauci is also in the Leadership Council

of the “Decade of Vaccines” Council. Large sums of money flow from

the Gates Foundation to and around Fauci’s projects.

Fauci’s group also developed one of the currently tested vaccines

in cooperation with the drug company Moderna, which has received

nearly $500 million in federal funding for its work, and the NIH will

likely receive significant money from the vaccine’s use.

Even though Fauci is the highest paid federal employee, his incred-

ibly high public exposure has resulted in other benefits. Ken McCarthy

revealed in a Veterans Today June 2020 article, “Tony Fauci Is Corrupt

to the Core!” that “The Albany Medical Center gave him half a mil-

lion dollars for ‘science innovation.’ Now, it just happens that Albany

Medical Center lives on NIH grants.” This also was observed: “Fauci

survives because he does what the deep state wants him to do. He’s also

a superb politician. And that’s very important. He’s got an M.D. de-

gree. But the idea he’s a physician is a joke. The idea that he’s a scientist

is a joke.”

On the general issue of corruption in the pandemic, Dr. James

Todaro said this in Fall 2020. “So over this past year the COVID-19

pandemic has really exposed or uncovered a tremendous amount of

corruption and conflicts of interest that are in both the health sciences

and medical fields.” Because of “financial incentives we see so many of

these health officials and organizations pushing a similar narrative—

fear and panic—with the only way of getting back to a real normal (not

the new normal) vaccine or Big Pharma therapeutic. I would say that

the gatekeepers for the science overall are really the academic journals

themselves. They are supposed to be the ones with the robust peer-

reviewed processes to vet the science, to make sure there is valid and

true science, with valid conclusions that are derived from the science.

What we have seen is unprecedented corruption within those academic

journals. In the past six months two of the top medical journals in the

world, The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine, produced

openly fraudulent studies that have benefited Big Pharma.”
