Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put Anthony Fauci on notice during his interview with Jesse Watters Monday, stating that as president, he would sic his attorney general on the retired National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director “and not hold off” if criminality on his part could be demonstrated.

The Fox News host first raised the matter, saying, “You think Fauci is the devil. Would you prosecute him if you ever got to the White House?”

“If there were crimes that he committed, of course,” said Kennedy, currently trailing President Joe Biden by
nearly 50 points in the polls. “I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him and not hold off.”

“Do I think that he committed crimes? I think he caused a lot of injury … particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans. You know we racked up the highest death count in the world? We only have 4.2% of the globe’s population but we had 16% of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy.”

“There’s countries that did the opposite of what we did, that provided Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, other early treatments to their populations, and had 1/200th of our death rate. So there are many things that we did wrong in this country,” continued Kennedy. “Some of the things that were done by public health officials at that time that they knew that they would be harmful.”

Kennedy has made no bones in recent years about his conviction that Fauci has played a leading role in the “global war on democracy and public health.”

The presidential candidate’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” came out in 2021, detailing how, contra to the notion manufactured by the “pharma-funded mainstream media” that Fauci is a hero, “He is anything but.”

In the book, Kennedy accused Fauci of various misdeeds and failures, including:

• championing an approach to “ending an infectious disease contagion [that] had no public health precedent and anemic scientific support” that was “grossly ineffective,” as reflected in “the world’s highest body counts”;
• working to suppress and smear viable alternatives to COVID-19 vaccines that were reportedly relatively inexpensive and historically safe;
• wielding “formidable power to fortify the pharmaceutical industry’s explosive growth and its corrosive influence over our government regulatory agencies and public health policy” for five decades;
• managing the NIAID “much more like a drug company than any sort of agency to advance science”;
• treating American and African children “as collateral damage … in pursuit of profitable pharmacological solutions for steadily declining public health”; and
• promoting purported remedies such as quarantines “often more lethal than the diseases they pretend to treat.”

RFK Jr. further indicated to Watters that the Biden administration has been reluctant to punish China over the alleged Wuhan lab leak because American institutions helped bankroll the deadly research in the first place and transferred NIH-funded bioweapons to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
reported the Daily Caller.

TheBlaze
previously noted that federal documents recently obtained via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit revealed that the NIAID under Fauci and the United States Agency for International Development funded an EcoHealth Alliance subcontractor’s work on coronaviruses to the tune of $41 million.

That subcontractor was reportedly Ben Hu, who ran lead on gain-of-function research on SARS-like coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab and was one of the first infected with COVID-19 in November 2019.

The Wall Street Journal
reported that much of Hu’s research “focused on modifying coronaviruses so they could bind to human cells. The stated purpose of the research was to identify viruses that could lead to a pandemic and facilitate the development of a vaccine.”

Fauci
told Congress in May 2021 that the National Institutes of Health “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology” and made similar denials on multiple other occasions.

Then-Principal Deputy Director of the NIH Lawrence A. Tabak appeared to undercut Fauci’s denial,
writing to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) on Oct. 20, 2021, that EcoHealth’s “limited experiment” in Wuhan tested whether “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”

These mice “became sicker,” according to Tabak, who added, “EcoHealth failed to report this finding right away, as was required by the terms of the grant.”

Records recently obtained by the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic further revealed that David M. Morens, a top adviser to Fauci at the NIH, was admittedly trying to keep Fauci’s “fingerprints on origin stories” amidst an apparent effort by the NIAID director and his colleagues to downplay the possibility that a leak at the lab they funneled taxpayer money to might have been the epicenter of the pandemic that killed millions of Americans.

After Kennedy suggested to Watters that the CIA was involved in the research at the Wuhan lab and that “USAID … was functioning as the CIA surrogate,” the Fox News host asked the 69-year-old son of assassinated former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of assassinated former President John F. Kennedy whether the CIA still has the ability to execute political assassinations.

“I couldn’t say yes or no to that question. I think that there is — I couldn’t say. Even with my uncle’s assassination, you can’t really say the CIA killed John F. Kennedy. You can say members of the CIA, people working for the CIA were definitely involved. People like E. Howard hunt, David Atlee Phillips. David Morales. People who have confessed to it. Many of them death bed confessions. They may have been operating on a rogue basis, rather than the CIA doing it,” answered Kennedy.
