Depression and Elation but A MUST READ!

Reviewed in Australia on 16 November 2021

This book had me thoroughly going through extreme emotions of disbelief , anger and frustration. It is a well researched factual book that goes to great lengths and depths into the statistics and detail in what has created in the authors mind the greatest fraud and corruption ever played out in modern history against humanity. The fact that the same modus operandi has been in operation since HIV/AIDS days is incredible- its the same playbook just 'rinse and repeat' - The 'Noble Lie' is laid out methodically and is well supported with references - in a perverse way I wish the accused (and there are many) in this book would mount a legal challenge against the author in order to validate (or not) the books claims of blatant corruption and malfeasance.

Conspiratory junk and dangerous

Reviewed in Australia on 22 November 2021

If Amazon starts to go down the road of the QAnon conspiracy type theories then it is a source to avoided and a publishing house of ill repute. The lingo is inflammatory, the logic is pseudo and frankly dangerous. How about the Amazon editors check sources before publishing such rubbish. Very, very bad publishing.

A famous anti-vaccine advocate discusses Fauci's history, and the pandemic response

Reviewed in the United States on 16 November 2021

Verified Purchase

(Note – I don't have any political affiliation. I'm a neutral, independent voter, and I always try to review books based on their content; instead of just praising or vilifying books based on political leanings. As always, I will summarize the points made in the book, and conclude with my opinions and whether or not I enjoyed reading it.)

This book was written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the former senator Robert F. Kennedy, and nephew of former president John F. Kennedy. This book is divided into 12 main chapters, with a total of about 930 pages in the digital version. (This page total is so high partly because of the many pages of “Endnotes” found at the end of each chapter. There are hundreds of individually numbered Notes, with links to the source documents.)

In the Introduction, Kennedy gives some background and explains his goals in writing this book. He explains that he has been a lifelong Democrat, and that his family members have helped write many of the laws related to public health policies over the years; but that his personal experiences since 2005 have caused him to question connections between “Big Pharma” and government agencies. Kennedy has been a very vocal opponent of vaccines since 2005; claiming, among other things, that vaccines can lead to autism in children. The focus of this book, however, is on Dr. Anthony Fauci; and Kennedy's main goal is to demonstrate that Dr. Fauci is more concerned with financial gain for himself and his associates than making sound decisions about public health.

Over the first few chapters, Kennedy attempts to make the following main points: 1) There were several medications that were identified very early in the pandemic that had a least some evidence of being effective at preventing severe outcomes in COVID patients; but this information was suppressed by Fauci and the NIAID. 2) Dr. Fauci was focused on developing and approving a vaccine, mainly because Fauci and his associates stood to benefit financially from the vaccine and approved medications. Kennedy is able to cite different sources when it comes to data about the effectiveness of certain medical treatments, but his claims about Bill Gates's motivations seem to be purely based on personal opinion, without compelling source evidence. This pattern shows up frequently in the book, where Kennedy presents interesting information about possible medical alternatives or mishandled government decisions, but then leaps to the conclusions that certain people are conspiring to kill millions of Americans in order to make more money. This could also be true, but the hundreds of pages of notes and source documents don't provide much in the way of evidence of such diabolical intentions.

Kennedy asserts that Bill Gates has full control over the World Health Organization, and that he funded fraudulent clinical trials in order to make hydroxychloroquine seem like an ineffective treatment. The goal here, according to Kennedy, was to make sure there were no accepted medical treatments, so that Gates and Fauci could push their vaccine agenda, and profit from approved medications like remdesivir. It is very obvious that Kennedy dislikes Gates and Fauci, and he even includes quotes from Gates that personally mention Kennedy as a famous anti-vaxxer. If you are reading this book from a truly neutral perspective, it takes some work to attempt to see through the biases and focus on the relevant science.

The rest of the book is mostly focused on Fauci's history; mainly dealing with his past working on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and his association with clinical trials and medical treatments in Africa. Kennedy seems to intend to prove that Fauci is a racist that has been experimenting on Africans for years, though this isn't much evidence supporting this conclusion. Kennedy's most compelling charge against Fauci is probably his implication that through Fauci's support of gain-of-function research, Fauci might have inadvertently contributed to the development of dangerous pathogens himself.

Overall, this book provides some interesting details and links to lesser-known sources, though I would encourage readers to follow-up and read more about some of the science discussed in the book. The details about Dr. Fauci's personal history, and about possible conflicts of interest, are certainly interesting and worth consideration; however there are also a few leaps in reasoning that seem very agenda-driven here. In can be true that Dr. Fauci has some conflicts of interest, without it also meaning that ALL vaccines are dangerous and responsible for a decline in American health. I do not agree with some of the assertions made in this book, but I can still appreciate the contribution to further discussions. Always consider the source, and try to absorb new information while drawing your own conclusions.

Seventh Degree

Attacking Republicans defeats an excellent argument

Reviewed in the United States on 18 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I am a physician and I agree entirely with Robert Kennedy‘s assessment of Dr. Fauci’s medical knowledge, integrity, and motivations—suspect in all ways. However, what does Kennedy start talking about almost from the beginning in the introduction? He acts as if Republicans are the cause of the problems and if you didn’t know so much as I do, he would actually think Dr. Fauci must be a Republican! No Robert! Dr. Fauci is one of your progressive Democrats! Get off your political high horse and stick with the science.

The World of Fools

Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2021

“The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.” — Herbert Spencer

“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.” — Plato

I love RFK Jr., he’s a real hero doing a great amount of good in the world and this book is no exception – except for a glaring omission. I think he doesn’t realize how his own family has over generations helped unleash the COVID-19 hell on the American populace, by creating a government that vastly overreaches in its regulatory ambitions, thereby inducing a complacent and compliant, child-like public that’s brainwashed into thinking that this is all a very good thing for their “safety.”

This topic is vast so let me just give an example.

In a proper world, and in the world of the United States prior to circa 1900, as an adult I shouldn’t need a doctor’s permission before I take a given medication. That’s not “between me and my doctor”, it’s solely my own business. The government is there to protect my rights, not to create a medical cartel who has designs to keep me “safe” from myself.

Being free to ingest what I choose is what’s called a “natural right”, and was the original basis and inspiration for the American form of governance. Such right exists prior to any government, and “The fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a contract with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.” (Thomas Paine)

There is no “right” for my neighbor to keep me “safe” from my bad choices regardless of their “good intentions” (aka “busybodies”), so there is no right for a group of my neighbors, a whole city of them, or a whole nation of them to do it either. Therefore such right cannot be delegated to government, and if you do it then what you have created is a tyranny (in this case, a medical tyranny – and lo and behold, many are now partly becoming aware of this beast they have supported).

For some reason the Kennedys never understood such principles, but these are the real long-forgotten basis of the American form of governance.

Fauci is horrible, but inevitable. If it were not him, it would have been someone else. That’s how the system is engineered to work, in spite of the “good (busybody) intentions” of the Kennedys and huge army of overweening do-gooders. Are the problems they’ve tried to solve real? Sure. But the way in which they solved them was to set up a tyranny. There were better methods, those that were actually true to the foundation of the American system. Would they have protected every fool from himself? No, and protecting a fool from himself is very bad goal for government. On a proper perspective, it’s morally vicious to infringe the fool’s natural liberty to be a fool, in spite of any “good intentions” to “save him from himself.”

I support RFK Jr.’s indictment of Fauci, and I greatly appreciate his civic spirit and work, but I also think he’s turning Fauci into a scapegoat for the crimes inherent in the regulatory apparatus RFK Jr. himself supports. And of course it’s not just RFK Jr. who supports it, but most Americans. Some very deep reflection on eternal truths is in order here, and a return to the founding ideals of the American Declaration of Independence.

Removing Fauci would be good of course, but it would also be akin to trying to cure skin cancer by washing it off with soap and water. These totalitarian agencies need to be shut down or at least neutered.

“How charming people are! – always doctoring, increasing and complicating their disorders, fancying they will be cured by some nostrum which somebody advises them to try, never getting better, but always getting worse… Are they not as good as a play, trying their hand at legislation, and imagining that by reforms they will make an end to the dishonesties and rascalities of mankind – not knowing that in reality they are cutting away at the heads of a hydra?” — Plato

Book Has Verifiable Lie

Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This book has so much to like about it: the receipts and the medical team verification. However, he states "Trump's notorious recommendation for bleach to cure COVID," it kinda makes you take pause and wonder. This is factually false and easily verifiable. He gives tons of examples of misinformation by Fauci and others, but perpetuates this lie. Otherwise, a great book.

After receiving 2 copies, yesterday, I doubt I will get through this book.
However, I am a proponet of RFK's work and read his site, daily, The Defender - Children's Health Defense.
I will gift these books to 2 medical professionals, who have the background to appreciate the complexities of his information.

A very long winded way to say "I don't like Anthony Fauci"

Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2022

Verified Purchase

Overall, not impressed.

The good- lots and lots of references

The not good- lots of hindsight criticism.

Fauci caused the World's response to fail? Really? How quickly you forget that Spain, France, The UK were the failures in Covid control in the beginning. No mention of the science hating Trump or Brazil's President. No mention of how large numbers of Americans refused to follow protocol, making policy prone to failure. No mention of how this had never happened before in a century, so yes, there was no scientific precedent. No mention of how the hospital systems were overwhelmed in many countries. No mention of how many countries were simply too poor, too underequiped medically, to cope with the virus, to even count the deaths, making the US seem worse.( a newspaper article from indonesia in 2020's comes to mind- they didn't know actual deaths, but they did know the mortician's workload had increased dramatically, which the newspaper article assumed was related to covid 19)

No mention of how the Covid 19 vaccine does, in fact, reduce symptoms, reduce the likelihood of death from Covid if vaccinated.

And look at the so called references. So many people in the US think either Fox or CNN/lefty news sources are unreliable. Yet probably half of Kennedy's references are from such sources.....half of you American's should be blasting this book, simply based on the CNN or Fox references he uses- your typical response if you can't trust them, they lie , right?

Could have been a quarter the length imho

RFK Jrs book doesn't end well but its core is vital

Reviewed in the United States on 4 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I wanted to like RFK Jr's book more than I did. I'd heard him speak in 2017 at LA's memorial service for Tom Hayden and appreciated his remarks. So - even knowing his reputation - I bought and read his book.

Let's begin with his starkest weakness. I don't believe RFK Jr. has ever been part of a movement for systemic reform that was guided by a wise vision and that reached its goal. (I have.) The absence of that experience shows. Atul Gawande's New Yorker article on health care in Costa Rica (8/30/2021) is in this vein. It tells a remarkable story of systemic success. And with its success, Costa Rica's life expectancy is now two years higher than America's. RFK Jr should go there and work as a volunteer in their system for six months. It'd fill in one of the worst holes in his resume. Till he can properly visualize true success and directly experience the sort of process that produces it, he'll never get his own best role in the USA properly figured out.

His book has a long and strong set of chapters in the middle. We Americans, he argues, used to be satisfied with ordinary medicine. Wise doctors figured out why their patients were suffering, had a host of treatments to choose from, and generally helped their patients recover from diseases like pneumonia.

But that's not what we do any more, he argues. Now the folks in charge of our medical system - the folks at the CDC and Big Pharma and the research labs of top universities - take a whole new view of new diseases. Covid 19 isn't just another version of pneumonia, except a bit more virulent. It's an Opportunity. To Invent a Life-Saving Vaccine. That will make Big Pharma Extremely Wealthy. That will make Tony Fauci wealthy, as he becomes a patent holder and cuts himself in on the loot. That will make the Gates Foundation even wealthier, overseas, as it promotes vaccines and pushes aside the WHO's older (and wiser) routines of public health that used to focus on clean water and good nutrition instead of exotic vaccines and the profits they can generate.

We are living now in a redefined world, RFK Jr takes pains to point out. Ordinary disease has been pushed aside, and in these harsh times, we are perpetually threatened not just by traditional disease, or traditional epidemics. Now the panjandrums of gene splicing have become our new health saviors. And they're the ones warning us about super-dangerous "Pandemics." Fortunately, they assert, the drugs created by gene splicers have the super-powers that these new times demand. Older methods no longer serve. In today's era of new imperatives, we are to fall in line. Follow the vaccine-developers orders; imitate their fears; buy their new products.

RFK Jr's got a hell of a point. Yes, that's what we're hearing. But does he have a hell of an answer? No. Rip off our masks, he says. Forego their vaccinations, he says. The Authority Figures seek too much power, and the only true response of a free American is to show them the middle finger.

We face a systemic problem - as his book more than amply proves - and the best answer RFK Jr can muster is . . . just give Fauci the finger? What a dangerous non-answer! The only medical care the unvaccinated can count on will come from the ICU's of their local hospitals. Go there with Covid and maybe you'll live. And maybe you won't.

Systemic problems require systemic solutions. His whole book proves, all too well, the pervasiveness of our systemic problem - a deeply unsupervised medical sector that makes itself wealthy by finding expensive ways to treat diseases but cares not for the actual health of the American people. RFK Jr has shown America that we are badly in need of systemic reform. And he has also shown America that he is not, yet, the guy to help lead us out of the mess he's proven that we're in.

For that, we will need the kind of champions that have helped other countries create effective medical systems. RFK Jr is plainly not cut out to be that kind of champion, at least not yet. Maybe if he goes to Costa Rica and gets himself straightened out, he'll have more to offer. But who's to be American medicine's true Edwards Deming? We don't know yet.

Big Pharma, of course, doesn't want us to look for one. Which should tell us why finding the right one is so urgent. That, surely, will be one of my key takeaways from what RFK Jr has written.
