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

by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Duesberg argues that HIV does not cause AIDS but is simply a “free rider” common to high-risk populations who suffer immune suppression due to environmental exposures.

To date, Dr. Fauci has been able to silence but not to answer or to refute Duesberg’s thesis.

Gallo’s premature announcement pioneered a new strategy of “Science by Press Release” that would become a familiar mainstay in Dr. Fauci’s arsenal of narrative control, culminating in the COVID-19 pandemic. The journal Science did not publish Gallo’s paper until over a week after his spectacular TV press conference. At the time, Gallo’s tactic marked a severe breach of professional scientific etiquette. This gimmick assured that nobody could review Gallo’s work prior to his proclamation.

By delaying the announcement of the French scientist’s earlier discoveries, Gallo stalled the introduction of a widely available blood test for the AIDS virus by about a year. During that 1983–1984 interregnum, thousands of hospital patients and hemophiliacs received tainted blood from blood banks and became infected with HIV, and many of the already infected unwittingly spread the virus.

Gallo’s announcement was a windfall for Anthony Fauci. Pinning the AIDS epidemic on a virus allowed him to divert the cascading river of AIDS money from the National Cancer Institute into NIAID’s overflowing coffers.

Mullis, who invented the tests, pointed out that the PCR was capable of finding HIV signals in large segments of the population who suffered no threat from HIV and had no live HIV virus in their bodies.

All those unrelated ailments soon became incorporated beneath the umbrella definition of AIDS. Individuals with Candida or Kaposi’s sarcoma and a positive PCR test had AIDS. Those same individuals with a negative PCR would have Kaposi’s sarcoma or Candida. Under this rubric, the AIDS definition rapidly metastasized to encompass a galaxy of some thirty separate well-known diseases, including Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), Hodgkin’s disease, herpes zoster (shingles), Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), Burkitt’s lymphoma, isosporiasis, Salmonella septicemia, and tuberculosis, all of which also occur in individuals who had no HIV infection.

In the hands of Dr. Fauci’s opportunistic PIs, AIDS became an amorphous malady subject to ever-changing definitions, encompassing a multitude of old diseases in hosts who test positive for HIV.

None of the shrilly predicted depopulation has ever occurred, and most HIV-infected Africans showed no sign of illness.

The statistical picture of AIDS in Africa, consequently, is a sketchy projection based on very rough computer-generated estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), built on a highly questionable data pool, dubious assumptions, and grotesque exaggeration.

Duesberg and many other critics accused Dr. Fauci, and an opportunistic pharmaceutical industry, of taking this long inventory of ancient afflictions and recasting them as AIDS.

The same recasting of disease used to classify AIDS is now being used to reclassify known diseases and ailments throughout the world as COVID.

“Africans were rarely tested with expensive PCR tests, so every unexplained death became ‘AIDS.’”

Former epidemiological director of WHO, Professor James Chin, in his 2006 book, The AIDS Pandemic: The Collision of Epidemiology and Political Correctness, admits unambiguously that the AIDS case figures for developing countries were massively manipulated in order to maintain the flow of billions of dollars.

Many US AIDS sufferers can become “cured” by crossing the border into Canada. No other disease is so subject to this sort of nationalism.

In the decade preceding the AIDS crisis, a wave of new technologies, including PCR and super powerful electron microscopes, had opened windows on teeming new worlds containing millions of species of previously unknown viruses to scientists. Molecular genetics not only revolutionized biological science, but also made that science fabulously profitable. The lure of fame and fortune ignited a chaotic revolution in virology as ambitious young PhDs scrambled to inculpate newly discovered microbes as the cause of old malignancies. Making such connections could be a profitable pursuit for enterprising young biologists and pharmaceutical companies.

Finance dictated the direction of research and—too often—warped its conclusions.

Modern methods like PCR, with which small genetic sequences are multiplied and detected, are marvelous [but they] tell little or nothing about how a virus multiplies, which animals carry it, how it makes people sick. It is like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint.

In 1986, Thomas Zuck of the FDA warned that the HIV antibody tests were not actually designed specially to detect HIV.

With all other viral diseases, the presence of antibodies signals a welcomed immunity from the disease. But Gallo and Dr. Fauci’s PIs suddenly began informing people that the positive antibody test was a death sentence. How could this be so? Dr. Fauci has never explained this inexplicable paradox.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique does not measure the actual, live virus in the body, but the amplified fragments of DNA that are thought to be similar to HIV.

The PCR test was never intended to determine if a person is sick. As with Covid, to use it at higher magnifications greater than 30, as currently being done with Covid, can produce high levels of false positives.

As originally stated, the four criteria are: (1) The 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; and finally (4) The microorganism must be re-isolated from the inoculated, diseased individual and matched to the original microorganism. Koch’s postulates have been critically important in establishing the criteria whereby the scientific community agrees that a microorganism causes a disease.77

Furthermore, every one of the thirty discrete illnesses we now call AIDS occurs also in persons uninfected by HIV.

New York Native publisher Charles Ortleb commented, “It should have been the end of the HIV theory and absolute proof that the CDC had gotten the definition and cause of AIDS wrong.

Following Dr. Fauci’s lead, doctors dubbed CFS as “Yuppie Flu,” characterizing it as a neurotic affliction among women genetically unequipped for high-pressure corporate jobs that suddenly opened to them in the 1980s, coterminous with the lockstep pandemics of AIDS and CFS.

It is therefore equally frustrating for HIV-only aficionados that 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.

Koch’s second postulate is that the virus can be isolated from an ill individual and made to grow in pure culture. Highly respected scientists including Éttienne de Harven argued that HIV has never been isolated or grown in pure culture. Both Montagnier and Gallo have periodically acknowledged this deficiency.111

Since HIV typically infects so few cells,125 that means Dr. Fauci’s antiviral concoctions like AZT must kill many healthy T-cells in order to eliminate the few cells that are infected.

William Farr was the British microbiologist who designed the accepted method for predicting the spread of a new virus across a naive population. Farr declared that every “new” viral epidemic follows the same intractable laws, spreading exponentially within weeks at most, after the first infection—and then declining exponentially as it runs out of new uninfected persons.

New infectious disease epidemics can virtually all be reliably plotted in a predictable bell curve resembling, in appearance, Farr’s graph from London’s 1849 cholera epidemic (below).

The fact that AIDS does not obey the accepted rules that have reliably governed every other plague known to mankind is, Duesberg says, just more evidence that HIV is “an innocent bystander or a passenger virus.”

“We’ve lost . . . years in AIDS drug development . . . because of the Gallo/Essex/Haseltine axis boycotting other ideas.”145

They have replicated this same type of action with Covid treatments that have shown to reduce hospitalizations and increase cure rates all the while reducing the death rate to minimal levels.

Instead of civilly debating these dissidents and writers and common-sense questions posed by Duesberg and other critics, Dr. Fauci’s strategy has been to exercise his frightening capacity to silence dissent and mangle reputations. History may credit him as the progenitor—even the inventor—of cancel culture.

“The journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”4 Dr. Fauci exercises direct influence on the content that appears in their journals. Control of peer-reviewed publishing is a vital ingredient for constructing orthodoxies.5

“They’ve got to hold onto HIV. Why?” observed Dr. Charles Thomas dolefully. “To hold on to their funding.”

A retrovirus is a primitive life form that has no capacity to replicate on its own, as is true of all viruses. The retrovirus injects its RNA into an existing cell, where an enzyme called reverse transcriptase converts viral RNA into DNA, which is then inserted (or spliced) into the host cell’s DNA.

Retroviruses, in the form of incomplete strands of DNA inserted into human DNA, have no metabolism and no proven capacity to digest, reproduce, or evolve.

Duesberg argued that HIV is capable of causing neither cancer nor AIDS. It is instead, he declared, a harmless passenger virus that has almost certainly coexisted in humans for thousands of generations without causing diseases.

Thirty years later, many, if not most, virologists have come to grudgingly accept— in some part, at least—Duesberg’s skepticism of the Gallo/Fauci claim that HIV, alone, could cause AIDS. Most research scientists now—quietly—assume that AIDS must have a multifactorial etiology.

Dr. Tony Fauci is one of the few exceptions.

Rather than airing and openly debating such critiques, Tony Fauci and his PI army moved actively and effectively to snuff out the careers and silence the arguments of any scientist or journalist who questioned the official canons of the new state theology.

By questioning the official government theology, and especially by clashing with HHS’s reigning technocrat, Duesberg would soon see his generous stream of NIH research grants run dry.

It’s a sin as he has now openly said, to question him—to question ‘science.’ He’s so far gone that he has actually come out and said he is science.”

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.

Bialy agrees: “First of all, there are tremendous financial and social interests involved. Billions of dollars in research funding, stock options, and activist budgets are predicated on the assumption that HIV causes AIDS. Entire industries of pharmaceutical drugs, diagnostic testing, and activist causes would have no reason to exist.”

Dr. Duesberg observed that critical AIDS cases in the 1980s were among men engaged in behaviors then commonplace in the post-Stonewall, drug-charged gay party scene. Risk factors included promiscuous sex with multiple partners and cumulative toxic exposures from psychoactive drugs including methedrine, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and a cocktail of antibiotics prescribed to treat ubiquitous sexually transmitted diseases. On average, the early AIDS patients had been on at least three antibiotics courses in the year preceding diagnosis.64

Today, thousands of American junkies who are not infected with HIV are losing the same CD4+ T-cells and getting the same diseases as AIDS patients.

His paper finally appeared in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases in 1985,85 prompting the Wall Street Journal to pen an article arguing that substance abuse was so universal among AIDS patients that drug use, and not Dr. Fauci’s virus, must be considered the primary cause of AIDS.86

Gallo made some astonishing confessions to his trusted colleagues. HIV, he acknowledged, might only be a “catalytic factor” in Kaposi’s: “There must be something else involved.” Then he added a breathtaking concession, which could have been taken from the very research in Duesberg’s article: “I don’t know if I made this point clear, but I think that everybody here knows—we never found HIV DNA in tumor cells of KS. So this is not directly transforming. And in fact, we’ve never found HIV DNA in T cells although we’ve only looked at a few. So, in other words we’ve never seen the role of HIV as a transforming virus in any way.”89

Duesberg describes the syndrome as “AIDS by AZT.” Ironically, he argued AZT, the highly toxic medication that Dr. Fauci was prescribing to treat AIDS patients, actually does what the virus cannot—that is, it causes AIDS itself.
