Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book offers immaculately-sourced, exhaustively-researched, and detailed explanations of facts, partnerships, and events surrounding Anthony Fauci's career at NIAID (NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), and it sheds a glaring light on our government's health and science institutions and the powerful people populating them. Noting that Dr. Fauci has been director of NIAID since 1984, I have to wonder how many US citizens would have trusted Fauci's assertions over the last 20 months, had they known that "Between 1985 and 2005, NIAID and its Pharma partners conscripted at least 532 infants and children from foster care in New York City as human subjects of clinical trials testing NIAID's experimental AIDS drugs and vaccines." (p. 250) Worse than that, nearly half of those children weren't even infected with AIDS. (p. 249) And even worse than THAT, 80 died while in foster care. (p. 251) Every chapter has similarly troubling information, making me wonder where our journalists have been for the last 30 years, and why they weren't finding and reporting these things. It all leads directly to where we are today, and Kennedy shows how neatly the pieces fit together to form a direct path. For those who have always felt a nagging doubt when it comes to trusting the industry-staffed government/science partnership known as "public health officials," this book will reassure you that your instincts were correct; Kennedy covers the endemic corruption in detail, with every claim of every fact scrupulously cited. Every chapter ends with hundreds of footnotes. For those who, like me, were taught to revere and trust government science because it was supposed to be the best, brightest minds working together to protect us all, this book will, in its very thoroughness, be extremely troubling, but you will want to read every word, anyway. In fact, you will probably not be able to put the book down. It's always, always better to know the truth.
