Anthony Fauci, M.D.[a 1], (born 24 December 1940) is the American physician-scientist and immunologist serving as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984.[1]

Fauci's name is much in the news today in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this article is narrowly focused on his role as a friend of Bill Gates and a promoter of circumcision.

Circumcision promotion

Funder of Africa RCT "research"

Fauci, as Director of NIAID, controlled a very large research budget,[2] from which he allocated funds for two randomized controlled trials to be carried out in Africa. The trials supposedly were to determine if male circumcision was an effective at preventing female to male HIV infection, but were so conducted as to prove what the researchers wanted to prove — that male circumcision prevented HIV infection. Fauci's NIAID approved of a grant (UO1 AI11171-01-02) from the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Division of AIDS, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and in part by the Division of Intramural Research, NIAID, NIH resulted in:

These RCTs and the notion that male circumcision somehow can prevent HIV infection has received massive critical comment:

Supporter of PEPFAR

Fauci designed and recommended approval of the highly expensive and ineffective PEPFAR program to circumcise sub-Saharan Africa to President George W. Bush in 2008.[3] [4]

Fish et al. (2019) criticized PEPFAR for its racist nature.[5]
