(LifeSiteNews) – Speaking just before Thanksgiving, Dr. Anthony Fauci hit back at his critics, particularly Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and former Trump advisor Peter Navarro, saying that those “who weaponize lies are killing people.” 

“I’m not in it for a popularity contest,” declared Fauci, while chatting with MSNBC’s Ari Melber earlier this week. 

   

“I’ve devoted my entire professional career of 50 years to try and essentially safeguard and preserve the health and the lives of the American people,” continued Fauci, who has been director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. 

“And as an infectious disease doctor who deals with outbreak, that gets really extended to the rest of the world,” he continued, before launching his own attack upon those who promote “misinformation,” as Melber described it. 

“The praise, or the arrows and slings are really irrelevant. I do what science drives you to do and that’s what I do. I’m not in it for a popularity contest: I’m trying to save lives.” 

Fauci took particular aim at both Peter Navarro and Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Carlson has consistently called out Fauci for his role in funding the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China, and styled the NIAID director as being “responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic…more than any other single living American.” 

“The people who weaponize lies are killing people, so the only question I have, is that when you show Tucker Carlson and Peter Navarro criticizing me, I consider that a badge of honor,” said Fauci. 

Seeming to refer to the media, Fauci accused broadcasters of “always throw[ing] up those people that make those ridiculous statements. They’re telling people to do things that they’re gonna [sic] die from, and they’re telling me I should go to jail.” 

“As they say in my old neighbourhood in Brooklyn, give me a break, will you,” he closed.  

While Fauci declared his career to have been focused on preserving “the health and lives of the American people,” a new book by Robert F. Kennedr Jr. says otherwise, documenting Fauci’s record of forcing drug trials on children, using  HIV drugs known to be toxic to adults.  

“Dr. Fauci experimented on infants and children who were presumed  without clinical evidence – to be at risk of AIDS, and that he exposed them to deadly risks and agonizing discomforts in a speculative drug and vaccine exercise that offered absolutely no potential benefit for them,” wrote Kennedy.  

In New York state alone, at least 523 infants and children who tested positive for HIV were given potently toxic AIDS drugs like AZT and Nevirapine.  

Hundreds of children died and were buried in plain wooden coffins stacked in a mass grave, as documented in the 2004 BBC documentary “Guinea Pig Kids.” Celia Farber, an investigative reporter who conducted research for the project, described the mass grave.  

“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Farber said. “It was a very large pit with AstroTurf thrown over it, which you could actually lift up. Under it, one could see dozens of plain wooden coffins, haphazardly stacked. There may have been 100 of them. I learned there was more than one child’s body in each.” 

Vera Sharav, human rights activist and founder of the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP), told Farber that “Fauci just brushed all those dead babies under the rug. They were collateral damage in his career ambitions. They were throw-away children.”
