David Martin:
And if we go back and look at what Moderna’s primary thrust was when it started, Bobby, it was actually a cancer treatment, not a vaccine. This started off as a way to treat and potentially work on targeting cancer cells. And it was only after a series of very, very noteworthy false starts, where they tried to get stuff done that didn’t work, that suddenly people said, “Well, hold on a minute, couldn’t we essentially turn cells into their own vaccine producing kind of regimens?” But all of the theory is, that if you introduce these fragments of mRNA, you can get a protein expression or a fraction of a protein expression, that is going to do something to the cell to either promote a new action by the cell.


David Martin:
That could be blocking the cell from receiving certain antigens coming in, it could be actually producing a series of proteins, which would combat an infective agent. And in the case of cancer, which is where they started their primary focus, it was about altering the way in which cells proliferated, because they thought maybe they could actually build, essentially, an oncology treatment, where the cell itself becomes the producer of the thing that could blow up cancer.


David Martin:
So that’s what they did, but here’s the problem. The problem is the core technology that they built this on came out of a National Science Foundation, not an NIH. It started at National Science Foundation grant. The core technology that was represented in what started Moderna was published in August of 2009, one year before Moderna filed its first patent.


David Martin:
And one of the most important things to understand about this companies, was founded by one individual appropriating technology that U.S. taxpayers paid for through the National Science Foundation. And deciding to individually and personally profit from that by essentially expropriating information from the work that was paid for with the National Science Foundation grant. Wrapping it up in a company where he would become one of the co-founders. Interestingly enough, illegally naming the two venture capitalists as co-inventors. They had nothing to do with the invention, but he named them as co-inventors. And the company got off to the races in 2010, in the late summer of 2010, as a company founded on misappropriated technology, appropriated for the purpose of personal enrichment.


David Martin:
And as you’ve seen over the now 140 patents and patent applications that Moderna has prosecuted, not once have they followed the law and identified the fact that they are in fact beholden to federal government grants for all of the things that they developed. They’re violating the Bayh-Dole Act, the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act, in every single one of their patent filings. This company has been operating as an illegal operation from the beginning. And it’s not surprising that their apologist-in-chief, their advocate- in-chief is none other than Tony Fauci, who’s every bit of an interest in seeing their vaccine jump to the front of the line, because NIAID has its vested interest in seeing it succeed.


RFK, Jr.:
Right, and Tony Fauci has put in 2.4 billion US taxpayer dollars into this venture.


David Martin:
At least, at least. Yeah. What we know, what we know is that he has put several appropriated and noncompeting grants, and most of your viewers don’t understand the difference between a competitive grant, which is a researcher who has to file a grant application. They’re up against all kinds of other grant applications that are competing for funds. Moderna has received noncompeting funds, meaning they don’t have to prove anything. They don’t have to do anything. They don’t even have to tell you, really, what the money is going to be used for. It’s like getting blank check authorizations, and we know that since 2005, roughly $1.7 billion a year, $1.7 billion a year has gone through the DARPA-funded bioweapon and biopreparedness program through NIAID. NIAID is the administerer of that $1.7 billion a year, and much of that has gone into a variety of programs that ultimately ended at Moderna.


RFK, Jr.:
Yeah. So let me give people kind of a little bit of a background on Tony Fauci. Tony Fauci came out of his internship. Since his internship ended at 1968, he’s never treated a patient. He’s a doctor, but he’s a doctor who doesn’t see patients. He went directly to NIAID. He then became the head of NIAID in 1984 at the very time that the HIV epidemic exploded. What Tony Fauci does, NIAID is supposed to look for the causes and also treatments for infectious diseases, for allergic diseases and autoimmune diseases.


RFK, Jr.:
Tony Fauci does almost none of those things. What he’s done is he’s taken an enormous budget that began with the AIDS budget, which is now about $6 billion a year, plus another $1.7 billion a year that he gets from the Defense Department, which becomes part of his discretionary spending, and he invests that money in developing new drugs. He farms the money out to about 1,300 principal investigators who run their own little empires at Harvard, at NYU, at Berkeley, at MIT, and they begin the drug development forum. They do the clinical studies, and then when it gets to a certain point, he sells the drug or transfers it to one of the big pharmaceutical companies. But he does a deal with them where he splits the royalties for many of these drugs. [inaudible 00:14:19]. David mentioned the Bayh–Dole Act. The Bayh–Dole Act, I believe, was passed in ’84, but you may be right. It may have been passed a little earlier than that.


David Martin:
It was debated in 1979, signed into law in 1980.


RFK, Jr.:
All right. What that act did was, for the first time, it said it used to be that if the government developed a new technology or a new drug, it became part of the public domain, and anybody could use it, that there was no patent for it and you couldn’t patent it. The Bayh–Dole Act changed that, and it was a good intention. It was saying, “We’re going to give our universities and we’re going to give NIH the ability to patent things so that the money that the industry is making on them, on taxpayer-funded projects, some of that money can come back to NIH. Some of it can go to the universities, where there were brilliant scientists who could be working for private industry, but instead, they’re working in academic fields and they’re doing pure research. We want to reward them so they’re not walking around in tweed jackets with leather elbow pads and can’t afford anything. We’re going to actually give them a reward for their labor.”


RFK, Jr.:
The problem was, and you correct me if I’m wrong here, because I still don’t understand how this happened, that HHS interpreted the Bayh–Dole Act not only to allow the academic scientists to collect money and the academic institutions, like Harvard and MIT, which are making billions of dollars now on royalties on technologies that were created by their scientists. Also, HHS interpreted it to allow individual scientists within the agencies who use taxpayer money and worked for some period on these projects to also file a patent on the projects and then collect royalties.


David Martin:
Correct.


RFK, Jr.:
At that time, it was unlimited royalties. I think, actually, there was a scandal involving Tony Fauci with interleukin. He owned a patent for a drug called interleukin, and it came to Congress’s attention because an internal agent in his investigation found that a lot of the trial subjects in that study were getting very sick and they were dying and there was suicidal ideation and that Fauci had not told them of that risk when he was recruiting them.


David Martin:
Right.


RFK, Jr.:
During the process of that investigation, it became clear that Fauci owned a patent for interleukin, and people were saying, “Wow, this guy isn’t telling people the risks of this. He’s going to make a lot of money on it.” At that time, he told Congress and he told the [inaudible 00:06:25], “Oh, don’t worry. I always planned to give that money to charity.” But he never told us how much. We have no idea to this day how much money he’s made on that or how many patents he owns.


David Martin:
Right.


RFK, Jr.:
He could own patents. He could own thousands. Well, I think there are over 1,000 patents that he’s funded development of. We have no idea.


David Martin:
Close to 2,600 that they acknowledge. I think it’s 2,655 that they acknowledge, and they have another approximately 1,000 that we’ve tracked where the grants they’ve given have given rise to a patent, which is where, to your point, they would have march-in rights.


RFK, Jr.:
Let me [crosstalk 00:18:12].


David Martin:
So somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,500 patents.


RFK, Jr.:
Let me just finish painting this portrait of what Tony Fauci does. So this is a federal agency that is supposed to tell us why, where’s the autism coming from? This all happened under Tony Fauci’s watch. When he came in in ’84, the chronic disease rate in our country was 12.8%. By 2006, it had gone up to 54%. Those are autoimmune disease. Those are allergic disease. So that’s right in his wheelhouse. That is his expertise. He’s supposed to be an autoimmune expert. He does not spend a penny trying to figure out what environmental toxin exposure is causing this epidemic of disease.


RFK, Jr.:
Instead, he has transformed NIAID, his agency, into the primary incubator for the pharmaceutical industry for new products. So he creates the products. He sells it to them. He transfers it to them for very, very beneficial prices, and he walks it through the FDA approval process, which means then Medicare and Medicaid have to pay for that drug. He helps negotiate those deals and get beneficial deals with the drug companies, and then the money comes back to him and his staff through royalties.


RFK, Jr.:
So instead of researching and trying to stop all these chronic diseases from happening to our children, he’s ignoring all of that and simply essentially printing money. Let me tell you how important this is. In between 2009 and 2016, there were hundreds of drugs approved by FDA, and every single one of them came out of Tony Fauci’s shop. So that is the impact he has had on the pharmaceutical industry. During his tenure, the chronic disease rate has gone from 12% to 54%. We now use more drugs than any country in the world. We pay the highest prices for those drugs, and the drug industry is now controlling our government.


RFK
