If 'Crimes Were Committed': RFK, Jr. Would Prosecute Dr. Fauci If Elected - 'He Caused A Lot Of Injury'

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in an appearance Monday with Fox News' Jesse Watters on 'Jesse Watters Primetime' told audiences that if elected he would seek the prosecution of former NIAID head Dr. Anthony Fauci if his attorney general found "crimes were committed."

Just days before, Fauci told The Daily Mail that the increasing popularity of Kennedy could lead to people "unnecessarily dying" should they be influenced by his views and not accept the COVID jab. Asked if Kennedy's popularity was "concerning" he told interviewers, "Of course, I mean I'm a physician and vaccines save lives." 

Fauci claimed, "Plus, I'm concerned if there's [a rise in] anti-vax. People will unnecessarily suffer and die because they don't get vaccinated."

During his interview with Watters, Kennedy told the host, "If there were crimes that he committed, of course, I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him, not hold off." He added that he believed Fauci "caused a lot of injury" alleging that he withheld early treatment from Americans.

"I think that he particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans, we racked up the highest death count in the world"

He explained, "We only have 4.2 percent of the globe's population, but we had 16 percent of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy," adding, "There are countries that did the opposite of what we did that provided Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, other early treatments to their populations and had 1/200th of our death rate," according to the Mail.

Kennedy observed, "There are many, many things we did wrong in our country and some of those were I would say … some of the things that were done by health officials at that time, that they knew they would be harmful."

When he was asked by Watters why he believes childhood vaccinations are linked with autism he responded that his opinions are misunderstood by the public. 

"I do believe that autism does come from vaccines but I think most of the things people believe about my opinions about vaccines are wrong," Kennedy said.

"You know, all I have said about vaccines we should have good science. We should have the same kind of testing, placebo-controlled trials that we have for every other kind of medication."

He explained to Watters, "Vaccines are exempt from pre-licensing placebo-controlled trials. So there’s no way that anybody can tell the risk of all those products or even the relative benefits of all those products before they are mandated and we should have that kind of testing."

As of this report, Kennedy is polling at 14.4 percent according to the RealClearPolitics Average, recently polling at 17 percent in June polls from Fox News and Quinnipiac. In a May CNN poll of registered voters, he polled as high as 20 percent.
