The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health is a 2021 book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in which he denounces Anthony Fauci and his leadership of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In the book, Kennedy promotes HIV/AIDS denialism and misinformation about Fauci's role during the HIV epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The book was described as "controversial" by The Guardian and Publishers Weekly and a "conspiracy theory extravaganza" by Science-Based Medicine.
In response, Fauci called the book "unfortunate" and characterized Kennedy as "a very disturbed individual". Of a meeting he had with Kennedy to discuss vaccines early in Fauci's tenure with the first Trump administration, he would later recall "I don't know what’s going on in his [Kennedy's] head, but it’s not good.”
The book became a New York Times best seller, selling over one million copies.
