Inside the haunting world of Fauci's cruel experiments on children.
The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is topping sales charts. To expose Fauci’s cruel experiments with children, Kennedy cites the BBC’s 2004 Guinea Pig Kids. This documentary is again under attack, and that in itself invites a review.
Since 1984, Dr. Anthony Fauci has headed the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health. In 1992, Fauci’s NIAID provided funding for the Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) in New York as an outpatient clinic for HIV-positive children. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) offered up children under its care, nearly all of them African American or Hispanic, for secretive drug experimentation.
As biochemist Dr. David Rasnick explains, children as young as three months were given “cocktails” of drugs with dangerous side effects. Rasnick described Didanosene as “very dangerous,” and Nevirapene as “dangerous and debilitating. . . horrible and painful and also lethal.” The children were also given Zidovdine, another name for AZT (azidothymidine). This drug, has “never been shown to be life saving, and it also causes severe anemia.”
As Dr. Rasnick told the BBC, “these children are going to be miserable,” and they were, writing in agony and unable to eat. If they resisted, doctors cut a hole in their belly to administer the drugs. As one victim testifies of the practice, “If you want to get out of there you have to do what they say.” The BBC found medical records confirming the experiments.
ICC nurse Jacklyn Hoerger was ordered to give kids regular and sometimes large doses of AZT. Hoerger adopted two of the girls, whose health improved when she stopped the drug treatment. The ACS then seized the children and put them back on the anti-HIV drugs. In 2004, Hoerger had no idea where they might be, but she knew that some 80 children died in the experiments and saw the mass grave in Hawthorne, New York.
Guinea Pig Kids came under immediate attack but critics steered clear of many facts cited in the documentary. The main problem was “the views of AIDS denialists, who don’t believe that the HIV virus causes AIDS.” The only such person in the documentary was Dr. Rasnick, and critics did not challenge his views on drugs such as AZT, and the harm the drugs had inflicted on the children. In similar style, critics did not explain why Dr. Rasnick, who earned a PhD in chemistry from Georgia Tech, believes that HIV does not cause AIDS. What did the science say?
UC Berkeley molecular biologist Peter Duesberg set forth the case in Inventing the AIDS Virus, with a foreword Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction. Mullis, who earned a PhD in biochemistry at UC Berkeley, could not find a single virologist who could show HIV as the cause of AIDS. If you ask a virologist for that information, Mullis said, “you don’t get an answer, you get fury.” Mullis also charged that Dr. Fauci “doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” But he was.
As Duesberg noted, AZT was marketed under the names Zidovudine or Retrovir. The drug has “toxic” effects but in the summer of 1989 Fauci announced clinical trials of AZT on pregnant mothers with HIV. As Duesberg explained, “a drug that interferes with growth can lead only to...
