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

by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

On January 29, 2003, the new president took the podium at his State of the Union speech and announced Dr. Fauci’s new program to the world, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): On the continent of Africa, nearly 30 million people have the AIDS virus. . . . Yet across that continent, only 50,000 AIDS victims—only 50,000—are receiving the medicine they need. . . . I ask the Congress to commit $15 billion over the next five years, including nearly $10 billion in new money, to turn the tide against AIDS in the most afflicted nations of Africa and the Caribbean.32 His power to deliver a $15 billion health program and to summon unprecedented accolades from a sitting president gave Dr. Fauci unchallengeable power over the entire US health bureaucracy unmatched in American history. He now enjoyed consolidated power over HHS and all its subsidiaries. “After Bush’s State of the Union, all of HHS fell in line behind Dr. Fauci’s project to rewrite history,” recalls Farber. “The political stakes were very high.” To save the reputation of his boss and employer, and by extension everyone else implicated in this scandal, Ed Tramont rose to the task.
