They were, of course, also urging people to take the new Swine Flu vaccine. On that subject, here is an excerpt from Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Children's Health Defense (3/27/20):

"For example, [Dr. Anthony] Fauci once shilled for the fast-tracked H1N1 influenza ('swine flu') vaccine on YouTube, reassuring viewers in 2009 that serious adverse events were 'very, very, very rare.' Shortly thereafter, the vaccine went on to wreak havoc in multiple countries, increasing miscarriage risks in pregnant women in the U.S., provoking a spike in adolescent narcolepsy in Scandinavia and causing febrile convulsions in one in every 110 vaccinated children in Australia—prompting the latter to suspend its influenza vaccination program in under-fives."

Thank you. Dr. Fauci. Explain to us why you haven't been downgraded to pumping gas in Death Valley or sent to prison?

However, that is only half the Swine Flu story. The other half—which involves an astounding hoax—was surely something Fauci was aware of at the time.

Fauci was, in fact, recommending a highly dangerous vaccine for protection against AN EPIDEMIC THAT DIDN'T EXIST AT ALL.

His friends and professional colleagues at the CDC were creating the hoax.
