As with the sultans, khans, czars, monarchs, and emperors of yore, Dr. Fauci’s power derives from his capacity to fund, arm, pay, maintain, and effectively deploy a large and sprawling standing army. NIH alone controls an annual $42 billion budget mainly distributed in over 50,000 grants supporting over 300,000 positions globally in medical research.97 The thousands of doctors, hospital administrators, health officials, and research virologists whose positions, careers, and salaries depend on AIDS dollars flowing from Dr. Fauci, Mr. Gates, and the Wellcome Trust (Great Britain’s version of the Gates Foundation) are the officers and soldiers in a mercenary army that functions to defend all vaccines and Dr. Fauci’s HIV/AIDS doxologies. The entire field of virology is Dr. Fauci’s Janissary Corps—the elite warriors that he can rapidly muster to each new battlefield to achieve new conquests and ruthlessly suppress rebellion, dissent, and resistance.
In 2020, many of the Gates/Fauci HIV vaccine trials in Africa suddenly became COVID19 vaccine trials, as the unprecedented tsunami of new COVID19 plunder began flowing through Dr. Fauci to the same disciplined legions of the virology caste. At the outset of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci tapped his trusty procurator, Dr. Larry Corey, to launch the COVID19 Prevention Network with the purpose of redeploying Dr. Fauci’s most reliable and trusted PIs on a blitzkrieg campaign to win lightning vaccine approvals for his preferred jabs. Fauci accomplished this daunting mission by transforming his existing HIV trials, practically overnight, into Phase 3 COVID19 vaccine trials. Without breaking stride, his PI army pivoted to march in lockstep into the new viral skirmish. Their exquisitely disciplined ranks also supplied the “independent experts” who populated the FDA and CDC committees that approved those shoddily tested COVID pokes, the doctors and “medical ethicists” who appeared on TV to run interference for every government-mandated COVID19 countermeasure: masks, lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccination—including justifying the jab for children and pregnant women. (In any rational universe, giving these untested low-efficacy shots to children and pregnant women would constitute both medical malpractice and child abuse given the low risk for COVID and higher risk from the vaccine among these cohorts.) They penned editorials in the newspapers and articles in the scientific journals validating official orthodoxies and uniformly dismissing dissenters as screwballs, flakes, quacks, and “conspiracy theorists.” From their ranks, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates tapped the charlatans and biostitutes who conducted the fraudulent studies that torpedoed hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and won approval for their pet blockbuster drug, remdesivir. When revelations that the COVID19 virus was likely the product of genetic engineering threatened to discredit his empire, Tony Fauci dispatched the handpicked elite of virology’s officer corps to draft and sign the consequential editorials published in Nature98 and The Lancet99 in February and March of 2020 assuring the world that the lab leak hypothesis was a “crackpot” conspiracy. The monolithic discipline of the virology caste and its capacity to rigorously enforce its omertà effectively silenced debate on COVID19’s origins for a year.
The saga of Fauci virologist Kristian Andersen, a PI who built his career on serial NIAID grants, offers a stark example of Fauci’s system of payoffs. Andersen was the first grantee to alert Tony Fauci, in a 10:32 p.m. email on January 31, 2020, to the strong evidence that COVID19 was lab-generated and that the experiment that created it may bear NIAID’s fingerprints.100,101 After midnight, Dr. Fauci warned his chief aide to keep his phone on and stand ready for some important work: To arrange a secretive emergency meeting to discuss damage control with eleven of the world’s top virologists, including Andersen and five key researchers from the Wellcome Trust.102 Dr. Fauci was the only US government official on this phone call. Four days later, Andersen, who less than a hundred hours earlier was convinced the virus did not come from nature, submitted a letter—secretly edited by Fauci—signed by five prominent virologists—all NIAID and Wellcome Trust PIs—ridiculing the suggestion that the circulating coronavirus could possibly have been lab generated.103 One month later, Dr. Fauci—without disclosing his secretive involvement—cited that very letter at a White House press conference as proof that COVID19 was naturally evolved.104,105 In the months that followed, Andersen’s employer, Scripps Research Institute, received an array of substantial grants from NIAID totaling $78 million for the calendar year.106 The NIAID, by the end of 2020, had granted the employers of four of the five signatories on the paper a total of nearly $155,000,000.107,108,109,110 That’s how the game gets played. Dr. Fauci’s disciples and soldiers understand that, as long as they support Dr. Fauci, they will continue to benefit from the endless stream of public health booty he controls—their spoils from the War on Germs and on skeptics.
HIV Vaccines: A New Lease on Life
In March 2020, Bill Gates stepped down from his position on the board of directors at Microsoft, explaining that he was “now spending the predominant amount of his time on the pandemic.”111
Gates celebrated his Microsoft retirement by directing a river of money to build six manufacturing plants for different COVID vaccines and funding vaccine trials by companies like Inovio Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, and Moderna Inc., all front-runners in the race to develop a COVID19 jab. The Gates Foundation also invested $480 million in “a wide range of vaccine candidates and platform technologies” through the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI), which Gates founded—with Wellcome Trust director Jeremy Farrar.112 Tony Fauci, meanwhile, took over managing the White House Coronavirus Task Force. The two men played tag team on the evening news and Sunday talk shows to promote remdesivir and to let their obsequious hosts and the American people know that the only way to end the global hostage crisis was compliance by 7 billion people with their new vaccines. No one ever questioned Gates’s mantric pronouncement, which he repeated like a Gregorian chant: “Realistically, if we’re going to return to normal, we need to develop a safe, effective vaccine. We need to make billions of doses, we need to get them out to every part of the world, and we need all of this to happen as quickly as possible.”113 He reiterated versions of this message ad nauseam, as he did again on CNN on March 22, 2020: “Things won’t be back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world.”
