On a recent episode of “The Corbett Report,” journalist and researcher James Corbett interviewed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his latest book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.”

Asked why he wrote the book, Kennedy said:

“Over the past 20 months [there’s been] a coup d’état against liberal democracy, and one of the key players in this medical cartel or medical technocracy is Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“There’s an entire coalition of sinister forces [including] pharmaceutical companies, the intelligence agencies, the medical bureaucracies, the social media titans, the mainstream media and the military, which are all wrapped up in this obliteration of constitutional rights and the use of a health crisis to impose totalitarian controls.”

Kennedy described Fauci as “this sort of avuncular presence who is the face of the technocracy and the demolition of constitutional rights.”

Kennedy discussed Fauci’s role in helping Big Pharma capture federal regulatory agencies.  “Fauci is the spearhead of an agency that has experienced regulatory capture on steroids,” he said.

Kennedy told Corbett the financial links between the federal health agencies and the pharmaceutical companies are unlike any other federal regulatory regime. The metrics used within these agencies to measure whether or not an employee will get promoted, advanced or get a salary raise revolve almost entirely around how well the employee promotes vaccine uptake.

“[These] people do not get rewarded for finding problems with vaccines — they get rewarded for covering up problems with vaccines … and some of the agencies directly profit from vaccine sales,” Kennedy said.

“For example, the [National Institutes of Health] owns thousands of medical patents, including half of the patent for the Moderna vaccine,” Kennedy said. “So Tony Fauci’s agency stands to make billions and billions of dollars. And Fauci was able to choose four of his high-level employees who each get their own individual patent shares and who’ll collect $150,000 per year for life.”

Corbett said the chapter of Kennedy’s book he found the “most difficult to read through” was the one titled, “Dr. Fauci, Mr. Hyde: NIAID’s Barbaric and Illegal Experiments on Children,” which details the role of Fauci and the organization he heads up — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — in illegal experiments on foster children.

“In this case [Fauci] was able to get control of different foster homes in seven states and essentially turn these pharmaceutical companies loose onto these children,” Kennedy said. “The experiments were absolutely barbaric … the children were tortured and they did not have legal representation.”

Kennedy added:

“The children who stopped taking the drugs because they were making them sick were sent to Columbia Hospital to have feeding tubes installed so the drug companies could [continue testing on them] even when they fought back. At least 85 of these kids died.”

Kennedy also cited the dramatic rise in chronic illness since Fauci took office, pointing out that Fauci has failed to protect the public from environmental health threats.

Other topics covered by Kennedy and Corbett include how Fauci was “locked into” carrying out controversial gain-of-function research for the military, how a large portion of Fauci’s salary comes from the Pentagon and the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency in pandemic planning and policy.
