Anthony Fauci and the Creation of the Bio-Security State<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new populist spirit, represented by Donald Trump, among others, has led to a reshuffling of seemingly settled ideological alliances.<\/p>\n

The reshuffling is ongoing.<\/p>\n

I know this because I find myself approving of at least parts of \u201cThe Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health<\/a>,\u201d the new bestseller book by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<\/p>\n

It is odd indeed that I find myself in nodding agreement with an anti-vax, climate warrior named Kennedy, but there you are\u2014or, rather, here we are.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of a long and riveting\u00a0interview<\/a>\u00a0with Tucker Carlson about his book, Kennedy reflects on the extraordinary\u2014indeed, \u201ctotalitarian\u201d is not too strong a word\u2014government impositions upon individual liberty in the name of battling the COVID pandemic and issues a critical admonition that we forget at our peril.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to love our freedom,\u201d he said, \u201cmore than we fear a germ.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can we pause for a round of applause?<\/p>\n

The risks of COVID to the general population were and are wildly exaggerated.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that now, though not everyone is yet ready to admit it.<\/p>\n

\u2018Safetyism\u2019<\/h2>\n

But even if the disease was as dangerous as some alarmists at first predicted, Kennedy\u2019s point still stands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if this was the deadly disease that they say it is,\u201d he told Carlson, \u201cthere are worse things than death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, he continued, \u201cWe\u2019re lucky that there was a whole generation of Americans in 1776 that said \u2018it would be better to die than not have these rights written down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting the extraordinary assault on our Constitutional liberties\u2014a phenomenon that has echoes in other democracies around the world\u2014Kennedy asks us to remember the smallpox epidemic that ravaged Washington\u2019s army during the Revolution and the \u201cmalaria contagion that culled the Army of Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Founders were well acquainted with \u201cthe deadly and disruptive potential of infectious disease epidemics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, they included no references to pandemics in the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Over the last couple of years, however, \u201cpublic health\u201d is wheeled out to rationalize \u201ca string of new exceptions to our Constitution. We are given just one rationale to explain everything that is happening: COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, Kennedy opposes the spirit of \u201csafetyism\u201d that pervades our culture and gives license to the many corporate and government actors who are only too happy to exploit our abhorrence of risk in order to control us.<\/p>\n

Kennedy\u2019s book is full of alarming things.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In some ways, it reads like a 1960s leftist tract against militarized government and \u201ctransnational corporations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fact that I find myself nodding in agreement with much of his analysis is part of that ideological reshuffling I mentioned.<\/p>\n

It reminds me once again that the categories of \u201cRight\u201d and \u201cLeft\u201d are no longer reliable guides to political filiation.<\/p>\n

I also note with some amusement the hysterical (I do not mean \u201cfunny\u201d) vituperation directed at the book by the Left.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t there some mistake?<\/p>\n

After all, we\u2019re talking about a paid-up eco-warrior here, the son of liberal icon Robert F. Kennedy, for heaven\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n

How is it that he has attracted the ire of Elizabeth Warren, who actually\u00a0asked Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and other online emporia to alter their search algorithms so that people looking for books about the\u00a0CCP virus<\/a>\u00a0would not be directed to Kennedy\u2019s book?<\/p>\n

Fauci and \u2018Endemic Corruption\u2019<\/h2>\n

A large part of Kennedy\u2019s book, as its title suggests, is an attack on Dr.\u00a0Anthony Fauci<\/a>, who emerges as one of the most malevolent and destructive characters on the public scene in the last five decades. How is it possible that he emerged as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Doctor,\u201d showered with adulation from a terrified but grateful public?<\/p>\n

As Kennedy shows in meticulous detail, Fauci\u2019s career has been a litany of greed, incompetence, cruelty, and a callous and unquenchable thirst for power.<\/p>\n

He is joined by a rogues\u2019 gallery of supporting actors, including Microsoft busybody Bill Gates and bioweapons expert Robert Kadlec, a Dr. Strangelove wannabe.<\/p>\n

Even former MI6 spook Christopher Steele, he of the Trump-Russia \u201cdossier\u201d makes a cameo appearance here.<\/p>\n

But the focus is mostly on Fauci and \u201cthe carefully planned militarization and monetization of medicine that has left American health ailing and its democracy shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last June,\u00a0Fauci told<\/a>\u00a0a reporter that \u201cAttacks on me quite frankly, are attacks on science.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what was this \u201cscience\u201d of which Fauci spoke?<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the world watched,\u201d Kennedy notes, \u201cTony Fauci dictated a series of policies that resulted in by far the most deaths, and one of the highest percentage\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>\u00a0body counts of any nation on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony Fauci,\u201d Kennedy writes, \u201cseems to have not considered that his unprecedented quarantine of the healthy would kill far more people than COVID, obliterate the global economy, plunge millions into poverty and bankruptcy, and grievously wound constitutional democracy globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

It gets worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no way of knowing how many people died from isolation, unemployment, deferred medical care, depression, mental illness, obesity, stress, overdoses, suicide, addiction, alcoholism, and the accidents that so often accompany despair. We cannot dismiss the accusations that his lockdowns proved more deadly than the contagion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consider these facts:<\/p>\n
