Excerpt from RFK Jr.'s book on Anthony Fauci

 (Some have criticized RFK Jr.'s work because he is involved in some New Age group, but that has o bearing on whether the facts he digs up are true or not.)

Lancetgate (from Chapter 1, The Real Anthony Fauci, by RFK, Jr.)

It remains an enduring mystery just which powerful figure(s) caused the world's two most prestigious scientific journals, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), to publish overtly fraudulent studies from a nonexistent database owned by a previously unknown company. Anthony Fauci and the vaccine cartel celebrated The Lancet and NEJM papers on May 22, 2020 as the final nail in hydroxychloroquine's coffin.

Both studies in these respected publications relied on data from the Surgisphere Corporation, an obscure Illinois-based "medical education" company that claimed to somehow control an extraordinary global database boasting access to medical information from 96,000 patients in more than 600 hospitals. Founded in 2008, this sketchy enterprise had eleven employees, including a middling science fiction writer and a porn star/events hostess. Surgisphere claimed to have analyzed data from six continents and hundreds of hospitals that had treated patients with HCQ or CQ in real time. Someone persuaded The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine to publish two Surgisphere studies in separate articles on May 1 and 22. Like the other Gates-supported studies, The Lancet article portrayed HCQ as ineffective and dangerous. The Lancet study said that the Surgisphere data proved that HCQ increased cardiac mortality in COVID-19 patients. Based on this study, the FDA withdrew its EUA recommendation on June 15, 2020, the WHO and UK suspended their hydroxychloroquine clinical trials on May 25. Each returned briefly, then stopped for good in June declaring HCQ unhelpful. Three European nations immediately banned use of HCQ, and others followed within weeks.

That would normally have been the end of it, if not for the 200 independent scientists who quickly exposed The Lancet and NEJM studies as shockingly clumsy con jobs. The Surgisphere datasets that formed the foundation of the studies were so ridiculously erroneous that they could only have been a rank invention. To cite only one of many discrepancies, the number of reported deaths among patients taking hydroxychloroquine in one Australian hospital exceeded the total number of deaths for the entire country. An international brouhaha quickly revealed that the Surgisphere dataset did not exist, and soon enough, Surgisphere itself vanished from the Internet. The University of Utah terminated the faculty appointment of one of the article's authors, Amit Patel. Surgisphere's founder, Sapan S. Desai, disappeared from his job at a Chicago hospital.

Even the New York Times reported that "More than 100 scientists and clinicians have questioned the authenticity" of the database, as well as the study's integrity. Despite the barrage of astonished criticism, The Lancet held firm for two weeks before relenting to the remonstrances. Finally, three of the four Lancet coauthors requested the paper be retracted. Both The Lancet and NEJM finally withdrew their studies in shame. Somebody at the very pinnacle of the medical cartel had twisted arms, kicked groins, stoved in kneecaps to force these periodicals to abandon their policies, shred their ethics and spend down their centuries of hard-won credibility in a desperate bid to torpedo HCQ. To date, neither the authors nor the journals have explained who induced them to coauthor and publish the most momentous fraud in the history of scientific publishing.

It is no longer controversial to acknowledge that drug makers rigorously control medical publishing and that The Lancet, NEJM, and JAMA are utterly corrupted instruments of Pharma. The Lancet editor, Richard Horton, confirms, "Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry." Dr. Marcia Angell, who served as NEJM editor for 20 years, says journals are "primarily a marketing machine." Pharma, she says, has co-opted "every institution that might stand in its way."
