Sanitising a Paranoid Crank


Whether he’s talking about WiFi and 5G, vaccines, or measures introduced in an effort to control the spread of a novel virus, Kennedy always returns to his grand narrative: shadowy forces are conspiring to eliminate Americans’ freedoms and transform their country into a terrifying police state. He uses the word “totalitarian” promiscuously throughout The Real Anthony Fauci. For example, he accuses Fauci of playing a “central role in undermining public health and subverting democracy and constitutional governance around the globe and in transitioning our civil governance toward medical totalitarianism.” Elsewhere in the book, he claims Fauci’s “extraordinary capacity to ruthlessly silence, censor, ridicule, defund, and ruin prominent dissidents” is comparable to “Soviet and other totalitarian systems.”

Here is the conclusion:

The normalisation of Kennedy by people who ought to know better is unlikely to end well. The man has successfully built a career around some of the most hysterical and scientifically illiterate conspiracy theories currently in circulation. His apologists are fooling themselves if they think he will suddenly become a responsible public-health official upon taking control of the United States’ health agencies. When US senators come to decide if they ought to confirm his nomination, they will hopefully disregard the deodorised version of his beliefs presented by his defenders and look instead at the positions he has freely and enthusiastically expressed for decades.
