Bob Guccione Jr. interviews Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Spin
In your book you reference Fauci partnering with pharma companies to sabotage potential AIDS treatments and promote medicines that were extremely profitable to those companies but ineffective and, in some cases, like AZT, worsened AIDS?
Yes, he was suppressing treatments like he’s doing now. He’s suppressing repurposed medications that are virtually all patent expired, like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, which cost pennies per dose and they’re much more effective than vaccines. The profits to pharma are zero because they cost pennies, so the big pharmaceutical companies don’t like them. All these generic companies now make them. Fauci did the same thing during the AIDS crisis. He said there’s only one solution, AZT, and ignored all of this stuff that local doctors were saying, “Hey, wait a minute, aerosolized pentamidine was actually very, very effective,” and all these other drugs. I talk about it in my book, that doctors were using drugs extremely effectively against AIDS. Fauci tried to suppress those drugs. So that the only drug available and approved by the FDA, and that people could get insurance for, was AZT.
It’s a chemotherapy drug. It was so toxic, it killed all of the mice in the original studies and the scientists that developed it for the National Cancer Institute threw it in the junk heap and didn’t even patent it. They were testing it as a chemotherapy drug. Chemotherapy drugs you use for two weeks. They kill every cell in the human body and your hope is that they kill the tumor before they kill the person. AZT was too toxic to be used for that purpose.
Anthony Fauci told gay people to use it for the rest of their lives, which of course were dramatically shortened by it. Anybody who takes a chemotherapy drug for life is going to die very quickly.
