The federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has brought aboard Steven Hatfill as a special advisor at the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. For the biological warfare expert, it’s not exactly a new venture.  

A medical doctor with degrees in biochemistry and microbial genetics, Hatfill served at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). In the first Trump administration, Hatfill clashed with Dr. Anthony Fauci, pardoned by Joe Biden with no revelation of any crime Fauci committed. As the people should know, Hatfill was once accused of what the FBI called the worst biological attack in U.S. history.

In the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, letters laced with anthrax, proclaiming “Death to America,” killed five Americans and sickened 17. The FBI branded the attack “Amerithrax” and in August 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft named Steven Hatfill as a “person of interest.” An FBI-media axis then hounded the Army scientist for years. Hatfill fought back with a lawsuit and in 2008 won a settlement of nearly $6 million.

The Army scientist would join the first Trump administration as a special advisor and his travails would start anew. After the emergence of COVID in 2020, Hatfill recommended hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), already in abundant supply. That made him a target for Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

In early 2017, Fauci proclaimed there was “no doubt” President Trump would be confronted

with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency. In 2019, Fauci funded dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. In 2020 Fauci imposed a rigid lockdown regime and recommended experimental vaccines that were duly weaponized.

Joe Biden called COVID a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” and fired 8,700 armed service members who refused the experimental vaccines. In September 2021, Rep. James Clyburn, chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, issued a subpoena for Hatfill.

According to the South Carolina Democrat, the Army scientist had refused to release documents related to his work in the Trump administration’s pandemic response, which he allegedly put in the “back seat” to focus on the “Big Lie” of election fraud, and so on. Hatfill pushed back with  “The COVID Debacle: Merging Criminal Law and Medical Science for Accountability” in the winter 2023 issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. 

With a short five-day quarantine at home, Hatfill wrote. “HCQ could control viral spread and minimize hospitalizations, while keeping the economy running,” HCQ “costs pennies to manufacture generically” and a five-day treatment cost roughly $30. HCQ could control a second wave of infections during the summer of 2020 but:

Instead, a small number of senior federal bureaucrats promoted an experimental antiviral drug called remdesivir. This cost $90 per treatment to manufacture and package, and was sold to the U.S. government for $2,500 per treatment. Additionally, they pushed for a multi-billion-dollar mass-immunization program using highly experimental single-antigen mRNA “pseudo-vaccines” that were still under development.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. noted in his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, remdesivir was Dr. Anthony Fauci’s “vanity drug.” That was the legacy of Fauci’s experience with AIDS, which embattled Americans may have forgotten.

Anthony Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 but in 1968 became a “yellow beret” at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  Fauci’s bio showed no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry but in 1984 the NIH made him head of NIAID. Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction test (PCR), believed that Fauci did not understand electronic microscopy, did not understand medicine, and “should not be in a position like he’s in.”

Fauci’s drug of choice as a treatment for AIDS was AZT (azidothymidine), marketed as Zidovudine, a DNA chain terminator rejected for cancer treatment because of excessive toxicity. At $8,000 a year it was the most expensive prescription drug in history, boosting the profits of Burroughs Wellcome. On Fauci’s watch, the system would be geared to monetize.

As Hatfill noted, in 2019 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb joined the board of directors of Pfizer, which wanted 75 years to reveal its vaccine testing data. FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn, “assumed a senior position with the venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, which funded the launch of Moderna in 2010.” The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) maintains the “non-profit” CDC Foundation, which “takes large donations from the pharmaceutical industry.” And so on, a stark contrast to the effective polio vaccines of the 1950s, which inventors Salk and Sabin gave away for free.

Fauci, who claimed to represent science, came to know the green side of white coat supremacy. Biden granted him a pardon, but the quest for accountability does not end with this megalomaniacal figure.

Joe Biden issued no pardon for outgoing NIH director Lawrence Tabak, who admitted the gain-of-function funding. The Delaware Democrat issued no pardon for James LeDuc, who signed deals with China to destroy documents and materials. Biden issued no pardon for Dr. Nancy Messonnier, who faithfully echoed China’s talking points, and declined to tell reporters who was telling her to withhold information on Wuhan.

In early April, HHS director Kennedy signed off on the firing of Fauci’s wife Christine Grady, head of bioethics for the NIH Health Clinical Centers. In her 1995 The Search for an AIDS Vaccine, Grady touted Fauci but failed to reveal that she had been married to him for 10 years. That connection also went missing when the NIH made Grady bioethics chief in 2012. Whatever Fauci wanted to do, Christine was always okay with it.

According to the Washington Times, Christine Grady, NIAID boss Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, Fauci ally Dr. Clifford Lane, FDA tobacco regulator Brian King, and “several officials” at the CDC, were reassigned to the Indian Health Service. As the Fauci corps moves out, “Amerithrax” survivor Steven Hatfill moves in. 

In “The COVID Debacle,” Hatfill made a strong case for “individual and group accountability.” As Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.
