Then he should have been doing a disclaimer at the start of every task force briefing he took part in. I guess he’s his own boss and doesn’t have to worry about pesky medical ethics.
Even CNBC requires guests these days to reveal their positions if they tout a stock.
Let's entertain the conceit that you are correct. How does that diminish in any way his thesis that fauci has a huge conflict of interest owing to his patent ownership?
Does this conflict of interest not raise red flags with you?
fauci's fearmongering smacks of a door to door vacuum salesman going around spreading dirt on people's living room rugs, and then promising to come back next week with a vacuum that "really, really works, trust me, just give me a deposit first."
...how you can use taxpayer money to buy personal ownership of a non-existent product. I’ll wait.

I don’t have an answer, but I’m aware of something similar.
Someone I grew up with, who was highly educated up to PhD via government grants, worked all their life and is still working at age 80 for NIH, owns multiple patents, all derived from the work done while in government employ.
One innocuous-seeming (to the lay-person) paper from this esteemed scientist and Professor Emeritus no one outside the field ever heard of, resulted in an application that led to a piece of tech useful to a subsection of the commercial food industry. The scientist’s son, who up until now was a restaurateur, now owns a company that manufactures that bit of machinery. The company has private investors and the patent-holder(s) receive royalties.
This may be one of the perks used to keep brilliant people in government employment. While employed by government, a scientist discovers something and is allowed to patent the process. When the process results in something useful, the patent owner(s) receive royalties from the manufacturer of the result.
I’m not certain if the government retains an interest (likely) & also receives a portion of the royalties. There is a large, state university involved in the example above and the grants were likely also underwritten by private industry. I think _all_ the scientists (these projects are team efforts) involved may also receive royalties if their names are on the patents. Team leaders may receive ownership even if the work is largely done by ‘lesser’ members of the team.
As an interesting aside, the scientist’s spouse is head of the grant proposal department at the same university and is also, at 81, still working and considered an innovator in the grants proposal field. I know of instances where people termed *grants facilitators* receive remuneration when local governmental entities apply for and receive Federal government grants. This is written into the process.
You’d likely need to see the relevant agreements and translate the legalese, but it appears to be possible and perhaps common, if not quite as over-simplified as is being reported.
In reality, some of these royalties may be modest, but, over a lifetime of endeavor, the applications will appear and the multiple patents will produce steady revenue streams.
It is highly unlikely that a govt employee like fauci somehow gets a financial reward for awarding govt grant money.
The story is propaganda because no proof or evidence is cited. Just the Kennedy talking point.
Just because you’re crazy doesn’t mean you are wrong. Either he’s wrong or right on the patent issue. At this point, I’d think the truth is closer to his name is on the APPLICATION. That he is a co-applicant.

Xxxxxx
My position also. No bureaucrat can patent like that. Kennedy nuts?
In your mind, you defend his idiotic contention by posting a list of patent applications, some approved some not, where the Assignee is the US Government. They're for HIV treatment methods and have nothing to do with Covid and are not vaccines and are not owned by Fauci.
You could have posted the name of your boyfriend and it would have been just as relevant to Kennedy's asinine claims. You are not very bright, no offense.
isn't he a notorious anti-vaxxer?
Kennedy, like most fanatics, is nuts. Somehow he thinks people will never verify outlandish claims. But then again we certainly have the same level of acceptance here on this site.
Where are the Republicans not screaming about this? Fauci and Gates conflict of interest? President needs to be talking about this.
I think back in 1986 Congress changed the rules that vaccine makers can no longer be sued if vaccines cause deaths, or other side affects. No accountability.
Interesting post.
Are you suggesting that the work-around for Fauci or Gates or anyone is that they hold a patent on a process that might be used in the production or use of a viable vaccine? Or something along those lines?
Or something along those lines

Sort of.
I was bored one day and began searching out some of the people I grew up with. I ran across the scientist I mentioned and was impressed, so I broadened the search to family members. I posted what I found with redactions.
It seems apropos.
Also, I believe it could be patents on processes or products, such as enzymes or cell lines or such.
I am curious that both my old acquaintance and Fauchi are associated with NIH. Plus the major state University involvement and the serendipitous positions of spouses and the benefits accruing to family members.
I don’t have the legal or STEM qualifications to understand that much of what I read. Perhaps others can do deeper dives.
So many rabbit trails.....
I am not doubting you at all. I think there may be something like this going on. Fauci does have a number of patents. I do think he has a conflict of interests here, but I’m not sure how it could be discovered.
As an aside, during this CoVid time, my husband and I have been watching old movies that we’ve enjoyed in the past with some of our favorite actors. We watched “The Fugitive” with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones a month or so ago. Ford’s character is a doctor that did clinical research. His wife was murdered and he hunted for the real criminal. It turns out that the guy who killed his wife worked for a pharmaceutical company that was about to release a new drug where one of Ford’s peers had swapped out clinical samples and Ford would be able to bring the cheating out in the open. It reminded me perfectly of all this CoVid nonsense.
because he invested in a company that owns the rights and has applied for the patent.
this is seriously unbelievable. There needs to be an investigation ASAP
Oh, the ol’ “highly unlikely” disclaimer...LOL
Check out who is wife is. Seriously.
Betting that is how he gets he receives the money for the vaccine being implemented.
It is not far fetched, at all, that any number of fauci’s existing patents become a component to another vaccine. They are adding all kinds of things to the vaccines.
I wouldn’t work so hard against what’s coming out. Try to find the truth first.
Rush has been talking about it! That’s a good start!!
