I think the elephant in the room concerning Fauci is his being the recipient of patent payments while he made the products at the NIH. Fauci and a couple of his cohorts pocketed millions of dollars from patents they filed while working at the NIH for the government. Only until 2005 was he confronted and he “donated” the funds thereon to charities. He still kept quite a bit of money from his patents from 1985 on while working on other viruses. Fauci is a shyster and his arrogance comes from his ability to skirt legal issues since his involvement with the AIDS research.
A year ago I read somethings about his involvement and failure to achieve development of the AIDs vaccine. This was before the Kennedy book. I had the horrible thought that perhaps Fauci sabotaged the AIDs vaccine effort. Now with this book, I fear it even more. If such a vaccine turned out to be a long term one like mumps, tetanus, and polio, it would not be the money maker that flu and Covid as annual vaccines can be. Was AIDs vaccine abandoned because lifetime treatment of AIDs with several drugs at once had far more profit potential? Am I being paranoid???
