The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health

by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The medical cartel dangled the prizes of redemption and reinstatement before Duesberg if he would only agree to reform. In 1994, a high-ranking NIH geneticist, Dr. Stephen O’Brien, called Duesberg and said he urgently needed to see him about a professional matter. O’Brien flew in from Bethesda the next day, and the two met at the opera in San Francisco. After some small talk about the good old days, O’Brien pulled a manuscript from the inside pocket of his tuxedo. Headlined “HIV Causes AIDS: Koch’s Postulates Fulfilled,” it had three very incongruous names at the bottom: Stephen O’Brien, William Blattner, and Peter Duesberg.43 Nature editor John Maddox had commissioned this apologia as inducement. If Duesberg would only sign the mea culpa, O’Brien implored, he could have everything back. He would be back at the top again, back in the safe bastion of Dr. Fauci’s medical and science establishment. Duesberg refused the bribe.44 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.”
