During a recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast, actor Woody Harrelson launched a scathing critique of Dr. Anthony Fauci, accusing him of engaging in “extraordinarily evil sh-t.” Harrelson, known for his forthright views and outspoken nature, discussed Fauci’s controversial role in public health policy. Before delving into his grievances about the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Harrelson praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as “heroic” and as “a man who cares deeply.”
One focal point of Harrelson’s criticism revolved around the use of Azidothymidine, or AZT, during the height of the AIDS crisis. “He started with the AZT thing,” Harrelson remarked, referring to Fauci’s support of the drug. Harrelson argued that AZT was “known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug,” suggesting it was a poor choice that led to tragic consequences. “And, you know, AZT was known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug, and of course, that was the one they picked,” he continued, connecting Fauci’s actions to significant losses. The actor shared a personal connection, noting, “That killed friends of mine. AZT was very toxic and they finally had to yank it.” Reflecting on this, he stated, “And so they started using that again, and I don’t know how many people got killed… but like, Fauci did some extraordinarily evil sh-t.”
Harrelson didn’t hold back his disdain, concluding his thoughts with, “And he knows what he did.”
Rogan chimed in on the topic of Fauci’s accountability, pointing out potential oversights in legal protections. Although President Joe Biden reportedly pardoned Fauci before leaving office, Rogan emphasized that this might not shield Fauci completely. “These states can still sue him,” Rogan suggested, hinting at potential legal battles ahead. He criticized the administration’s foresight, saying, “There’s a lot of issues with being pardoned that I don’t think Biden took into consideration, or Fauci took into consideration either.” Rogan speculated on Fauci’s motivations, remarking, “I think he just wanted anything to protect him because he knew it was coming.”
