Robert F. Kennedy’s book The Real Anthony Fauci is filled with stories of wrongdoing and inhumane criminality by both government officials and corporate executives. Reviewing the story of Dr. Jonathan Fishbein’s tenure at the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases will encapsulate the problems that are so deeply entrenched in this agency. Dr. Fishbein…
This article will make more sense if you read Part I first. After Fauci was raked over the coals by Congress, the process of approving drugs for treatment of AIDS speeded up. He agreed to set up clinical trials for drugs that HIV activists wanted included in the standard of care for HIV infection and…
Truly one of the most desperately tragic and infuriating sections of the book was Chapter 4, “The Pandemic Template: AIDS and AZT.” There’s really no way to relay the enormity of his malfeasance so I can do is extract excerpts and string them together to try to paint a coherent picture for you. First, a…
There are parts of this book that literally forced me to close the book and my eyes and just suffer for a few minutes. Then I’d gather my courage and resume reading. The end of Chapter 2 was like this. Kennedy throws facts at you all through these chapters and then at the end, he…
It would seem obvious to the dimmest of average citizens that government employees should not collect hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for supporting and endorsing the products of pharmaceutical corporations. Even a child could understand that this would lead to dishonesty, favoritism and criminality at the expense of public health. But that’s the…

Kennedy, Jr.’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, I was forced to the conclusion that American and international medicine is not what I thought it was. And I already thought that it was corrupt, seriously misguided and often barbaric….
The story told in Empire of Pain is not just about the opioid painkiller OxyContin and its devastating effects on millions of pain sufferers. That story has been told several times by very competent writers. Instead, Patrick Radden Keefe traces the lives of the Emperors of Pain—the Sackler family—from their beginnings in America right up…
While there have been several books written on the influences and factors that brought America to its current struggles with opioids, the 2021 book by Patrick Radden Keefe is arguably the most thorough. His book, published in April, is titled Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. Mr. Keefe reaches back to…
Sam Quinones is the author of the book Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic, published in 2015. In my humble opinion, without Sam’s book, we would not have consolidated our confront of our opioid epidemic and the architects of that disaster, the Sackler family, as soon as we have. Sam has published a…
