#new "Fauci is a monster" according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who says Dr. Anthony Fauci turned foster children into test subjects for toxic experimental AIDS drugs and did the same thing to pregnant women in Africa, so he could expand pharmaceutical market - aka make money. #DC RFK Jr.’s making the accusations in his 2021 book The Real Anthony Fauci Kennedy is talking about the clinical trials that took place in New York City primarily between 1988 and 2001 at the Incarnation Children’s Center in Manhattan. NIAID, then directed by Fauci, funded many of the NIH-sponsored trials. The 2009 Vera Institute of Justice report reviewed files for 796 children and identified 532 foster children who participated in 88 clinical trials related to HIV/AIDS treatments. The drugs tested included AZT which carried well-documented severe side effects including vomiting, anemia, bone marrow suppression, and organ toxicity. Former staff and foster parents, including nurse Jacklyn Hoerger, alleged that some children resisted the medications, vomited, and were coerced or threatened into compliance. In many of the cases, consent was not given and there was no oversight. New York City required independent advocates or monitors for foster children in trials, yet records showed only about one-third of the 465 children had them. #newyork Critics documented cases where children had no effective personal advocate. #children A 2005 investigation across seven states, including New York, found foster children enrolled in AIDS drug trials “often without providing them a basic protection” of independent monitors. Eighty of the children identified by Vera died while in foster care; 25 of those deaths occurred while the child was enrolled in a medication trial. RFK Jr. also points to NIAID-funded trials involving pregnant women in Africa, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That trial tested single-dose nevirapine to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission. Later revealed problems with data integrity, underreporting of adverse events, and liver toxicity concerns that officials, including NIAID’s Edmund Tramont, initially downplayed. Nevirapine later carried FDA warnings for hepatotoxicity. Critics, including RFK Jr., describe these as experiments to determine tolerance levels in vulnerable populations with inadequate follow-up or consent safeguards. Supporters said it was urgent public-health research with limited alternatives at the time. RFK Jr. said the trials generated data that supported approval and widespread use of medications that became multi-billion-dollar products. #ChristinaAguayoNews See less
