Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said Monday during an appearance on \u201cJesse Watters Primetime\u201d that if elected president he would approve the prosecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci for his actions during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News host and show namesake Jesse Watters referenced Kennedy\u2019s book \u201cThe Real Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,\u201d commenting that his guest sees Fauci as \u201cthe devil\u201d before asking if he would prosecute the man often described in the media as the top infectious disease expert in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there were crimes that he committed, of course, I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him, not hold off,\u201d Kennedy replied. \u201d I think that he caused a lot of injury.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kennedy, who is challenging President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary, is reviled on the left for his outspoken opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine and believes Fauci\u2019s actions contributed to the coronavirus death rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that he particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans, we racked up the highest death count in the world,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We only have 4.2 percent of the globe\u2019s population, but we had 16 percent of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere are 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did authorities in the U.S. avoid any attention on treating Covid-19, the media attacked and ridiculed those who called attention to the possibility that there were medicinal options available. Joe Rogan stands out here, as he was widely criticized for touting the benefits of ivermectin after he got the virus \u2014 CNN ridiculed him by portraying the drug as a horse dewormer, ignoring the common human application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are many, many things we did wrong in our country and some of those were I would say \u2026 some of the things that were done by health officials at that time, that they knew they would be harmful,\u201d Kennedy added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The widely held belief is that the goal all along was to push the Covid-19 vaccine as the only real option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
