1. ‘Damning’ Ivermectin tape exposes pressure by Big Pharma to suppress Ivermectin, RFK Jr.’s new book reveals – lifesitenews.com – 12/7/21
2. Kennedy to Dore: How Fauci Turns Science Into Propaganda for Big Pharma (childrenshealthdefense.org) – 1/20/22

My Highlights from the book:

Introduction

1. “The first step is to give up the illusion that the primary purpose of modern medical research is to improve Americans’ health most effectively and efficiently.  In our opinion, the primary purpose of commercially funded clinical research is to maximize financial return on investment, not health.” – John Abramson, M.D., Harvard Medical School
2. This book is a product of my own struggle to understand how the idealistic institutions our country built to safeguard both public health and democracy suddenly turned against our citizens and our values with such violence.
3. … the corrupting mechanisms of “regulatory capture”, the process by which the regulator becomes beholden to the industry it is meant to regulate (pg xv).
   • CDC owns 57 vaccine patents and spends $4.9 of its $12 billion-dollar annual budget (as of 2019) buying and distributing vaccines
   • NIH owns hundreds of vaccine patents and often profits from the sale of products it supposedly regulates
   • High level officials, including Dr. Fauci, receive up to $150K in royalties on products they helped to develop and then usher through the approval process
   • FDA receives 45% of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry
4. Big Pharma has financial control over the media through advertising dollars
5. During 2020, global lockdowns caused 10,000 children deaths/month, 228,000 children deaths in South Asia from disruption to health and nutrition services; hundreds of thousands died as a result of deferred medical treatments.  Suicide rates among children rose 50%.  Infants born during the quarantine were short, on average, 22 IQ points.  Millions of nursing home patients died alone.
6. During 2020, workers lost $3.7 billion while billionaires gained $3.9 Trillion.
7. Under Fauci’s leadership of NAIAD since 1984, allergic, autoimmune, and chronic illnesses have mushroomed to afflict 54% of children, up from 12.8%.  Autism exploded from 2-4 per 10,000 Americans to one in thirty-four today.
8. Fauci has consistently prioritized pharma industry profits over public health.  He has routinely falsified science, deceived the public and physicians, and lied about safety and efficacy.
9. Fauci has concealed widespread contamination in blood and vaccines, conducted vendettas against scientists who challenge the Pharma paradigm, and sabotaged patent-expired remedies against infectious diseases.

Chapter 1 – Mismanaging a Pandemic

1. Fauci’s pandemic strategy:
   • Suppress viral spread via mandatory masking, social distancing and quarantining the healthy.
   • At Home Protocol: stay home, no treatment until breathing difficulties force hospitalization.
   • Hospital Protocol: administer remdesivir, if condition worsens, place on ventilator.  Other treatments not allowed.
2. Little if any scientific studies justifying lockdowns and other policies
   • Admitted the fruitlessness of masking
   • Admitted the driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person (so why quarantine the healthy?)
   • Fauci’s switch to endorse masking and lockdowns at a time of increasing polarization resulted in mask-wearing becoming a virtue-signaling badge for the compliant, but to the resistant it was blind obedience to an undeserving authority.
3. Relentlessly pushed vaccines, even for previously infected and recovered people, defying overwhelming scientific evidence
4. Fauci looked the other way at these policy decisions by CDC:
   • selective protocol changes for completing death certificates so that death counts due to COVID were inflated, fueling the fear narrative
   • misuse of PCR tests such that CDC belatedly admitted in August 2021 that they were incapable of distinguishing COVID from other viral illnesses
   • skip autopsies from deaths attributed to vaccines, allowing CDC to persistently claim that all deaths following vaccination were “unrelated to vaccination”.
5. Rich incentives to inflate COVID victim counts, e.g. $39K per ventilator
6. Fauci’s refusal to fix HHS’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), despite HHS’s own study indicating VAERS may be underreporting vaccine injuries by over 99%.
7. Federal officials failed to age-stratify the risks of COVID and pursued a one-size-fits-all approach to vaccines.
