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.

Pages 84-86 cast doubts on the rest of the book. Look & decide for yourself

Reviewed in the United States on 20 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I am distrustful of Big Government. I am unhappy with how the US has handled COVID-19. I am unhappy about the very real possibility that the virus itself came from gain-of-function experiments in the Wuhan lab, funded by US, Canadian and Chinese funds [AKA my tax dollars] and those experiments with Coronaviruses are described in a 2015 paper by Ralph Baric et al.

So when a friend suggested that I should take a serious look at a book that documents deep financial conflicts of interests between Big Pharma and NHS and CDC... and me knowing as published scientific author how political and bureaucratic science funding and publishing is... he didn't have to twist my arm

There is a LOT of heavily footnoted information here. If only 25% of the accusations are true, one should be pretty concerned. I suspect there's a decent chance that 25% of these accusations are in fact true.

But I quickly encountered an insurmountable problem with this book, and it was the graphs on page 84, 85 and 86 correlating vaccine injections with COVID deaths.

The book asserts that as soon as the vaccine programs were initiated, death rates from COVID-19 started going up. It alleges that the deaths were caused by the vaccines. It illustrates this with graphs of various countries, showing the point at which vaccines kicked in, consistently followed by a steep rise in deaths.

This is all clearly spelled out and illustrated in 24 graphs which appear to tell a very consistent and frightening story.

But there are some problems.

The print is very blurry so you can't see the dates - either in the printed book or the Kindle version.

I looked up the same data via search terms like "Ireland COVID stats" on Google. If you choose "deaths" instead of "cases" you get identical data to what is in the book, for each country you choose.

That's when I looked closely and compared.

The first graph is Ireland. Ireland shows a steep upward spike in deaths right at the beginning of January 2021. The arrow on the chart in this book indicates the vaccine program started just a few weeks before that.

But... that's not what happened.

The arrow is only indicating when vaccines first were announced (December). They did not get distributed until many months later (spring and summer).

Plus... I was IN Ireland December 27 2020 to January 4 2021! I managed to get into the country and spend a week hiking. It was right in the middle of my week there that Ireland's COVID cases started spiking. They moved the country from Level 3 to Level 5 lockdown while I was there. The hospitals started filling up and that was all they were talking about on the radio as I drove back to Dublin to fly home.

THIS HAD *NOTHING WHATSOEVER* TO DO WITH VACCINES. Vaccines did not cause this spike in COVID cases because nobody could get vaccines in Ireland in January 2021. They were not available.

The spike occurred in Ireland (and most of those other countries) because it was wintertime in cold countries, people were forced inside and it was easier for the virus to spread. And Christmas had just occurred, people were visiting relatives and people got sick.

3-4 months later, you see deaths going down because 1) vaccines getting distributed and 2) winter was coming to an end, people were opening windows, going outside and not having social gatherings indoors.

I cannot fathom how any person could include pages 84-86 in this book and say what these graphs allegedly mean. Not unless they were either A) so ideologically possessed that they couldn't possibly see the data any other way, or B) convinced that the 'other side' is so evil that telling lies about them were somehow justified.

At best this shows extremely poor judgment on the part of the authors, editors and publisher.

At worst it is wanton disregard of facts.

This is unfortunate because it casts everything else in the book into question.

Is it true that $4.9 billion of the $12 billion CDC budget comes from vaccines? I don't know. This book says that's the case. It wouldn't surprise me.

But if it is true, Kennedy shot his entire case in the foot and poisoned the well with bad and very unnecessary information.

It's not very often that a book exposing government corruption makes it to the tippy top of the bestseller lists. So - when that rare opportunity comes, why are people sabotaging their chance to be heard with misleading and wrong conclusions from misinterpreted data?

What else did they get wrong???

And why weren't there enough fact checkers in place to stop these illustrations from making it into the book before it went to press?

Does anyone care?

I don't have time to research the rest. I supposedly paid the publisher and authors to do good research when I gave them my money for the book in the first place. We will have to leave it to others to sift truth from fiction.

An encyclopedia for conspiracy lovers

Reviewed in the United States on 22 December 2021

RFK is a sincere guy, intelligent, consistent, does lots of research. I'm willing to believe he's well-intentioned (but you know what the road to hell is paved with). He's good at what he does. The question is, what is he doing?
This book collects lots of facts and then mangles them into misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Abuses statistics. Extensive use of guilt-by-association, with a heaping helping of innuendo. Makes lots of statements that can neither be proven nor disproven. Endlessly uses rhetorical devices that sound convincing if you don't have any context or solid background. Multiple pages devoted to Monday-morning quarterbacking, with nifty non-sequiturs as the sauce. In other words, the stock-in-trade of Talk Radio and conspiracy theorists.
The book DOES have some good ideas in it, and you'll learn some valid stuff if you read it. The problem is the "signal to noise" ratio -- the amount of BS you'll have to detect and ignore in order to find solid information. But even that won't be actionable, in most all cases.
I have friends who swear by this as a reference work.
I swear at it because it doesn't pass my BS tests and it encourages sloppy thinking.
I'm no defender of Fauci, Gates, CDC, FDA, NIH, or any of our "leaders." But this book is a glorified "slam sheet", a screed demonizing a man who does NOT control the world. It preys on people's lack of information, exploiting their weaknesses to achieve exactly what? Popularity/notoriety for RFK? As far as I can tell, he doesn't have much influence in the places where it would really matter. But he sure does in the places that have no power.

Interesting titbits I guess

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2022

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately this book follows the mistake that many 'conspiracy' style books fall in to. Rather than properly explaining a fundamental hypothesis which properly explains the basis and counters any opposition, it just keeps throwing out as many weak arguments as it possibly can hoping that something will stick. In my opinion, this lessens the strength of the case that the book is trying to make.

I followed a number of the references and some were valid, whilst others referenced clearly out of date material or to unsubstantiated websites.

It is very much a US centric view of the world as though the rest of the entire world will just accept whatever the US does or thinks without their own highly skilled scientists having any real say.

Read it for what it is. A thought provoker. Certainly question how the pandemic was managed, how politicians behaved and who made large amounts of money. But be wary believing totally one-sided views.

Poor quality publication

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2022

Verified Purchase

I had to wait for over 6 months to get a printed copy of the book but I have come to the end of my patience. .

Does the publisher not understand the value of margins on pages? The script has been crammed into too few pages - the number of pages need to be increased by at least 50% to make them reader friendly. Ideally, the book could have been far better edited to reduce the number to half the current number. It is going to be a marathon to read it.

I am hugely disappointed.

I'm having trouble getting past the first pages of this book. Is this an anti-Fauci book or anti-Trump?? Seriously???
I was looking forward to reading about FAUCI, not negative opinions about the Trump presidency. Sorry, can't recommend it.

Lies are becoming common due to Trump and people like Kennedy who uses his family name to promote non-science. Millions are alive today because of vaccines. It is only because of vaccines and their ability to prevent harm that gives people the false thought that they do nothing. After all, who really suffers from polio or diphtheria anyway? No one we know. Why, vaccines did their job.

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.

Libro de ciencia-espectáculo.

Reviewed in Spain on 3 August 2022

Libro de ciencia-espectáculo. Es una denuncia descarnada contra el Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates y la industria farmacéutica, con muchas cifras y estudios para respaldarlo. Tras leer los primeros capítulos quedé muy preocupado, y casi convencido que había una confabulación mundial que me perjudicaba y yo sin haberme enterado. Entonces me informé con algunos médicos que respeto y buscando información en internet sobre Robert Kennedy jr., y aprendí que este es un activista mediático, pero poco respetado. Se le acusa de inventar información y tergiversar datos.

Robert Kennedy jr. Es hijo del Fiscal General de EEUU del mismo nombre, asesinado en 1968, y sobrino del también asesinado Presidente John F. Kennedy. Yo había imaginado que con ese pedigrí escribiría cosas confiables, pero parece que no es el caso; sino que se aprovecha de su nombre para vender libros y conferencias en base a imaginar confabulaciones.

Además el libro es excesivamente largo y hace una enumeración excesiva de pruebas, que cansarían aunque fuesen ciertas. Está bien escrito, pero transluce una animadversión personal excesiva hacia sus acusados, que es imposible que sean tan malos estando desde hace tanto tiempo en el lugar que ocupan.

Confieso que no lo terminé.
