Woody Harrelson accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of doing some ‘extraordinarily evil sh**’ during his time as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
The Cheers actor, 63, joined podcaster Joe Rogan on his show the Joe Rogan Experience on Saturday as the pair talked about their hopes for the country’s future in health.
Harrelson described Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services – as ‘heroic,’ and a ‘man who cares deeply,’ just before comparing his views with Fauci’s.
Fauci, 84, who also served as former President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, has long been under fire for his views on vaccines – specifically when it came to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Hunger Games star brought up the disgraced doctor’s push for the AZT or azidothymidine vaccine back in the 1980’s during the AIDS crisis.
AZT was the first antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, but according to Harrelson, it was a ‘really ineffective’ and dangerous drug that killed people, including his friends.
‘He started with the AZT thing! And, you know, AZT was known to be highly toxic, really ineffective drug, and of course, that was the one they picked,’ Harrelson told Rogan.
‘And so they started using that again, and I don’t know how many people got killed. That killed friends of mine. AZT was very toxic and they finally had to yank it. And now they use different chemical cocktails, but like, Fauci did some extraordinarily evil sh**… and he knows what he did.’

Rogan then chimed in about Fauci’s recent pardon, stating: ‘He’s pre-pardoned federally, but he’s not pre-pardoned state-wise.’
On Biden’s last day in the Oval Office, Fauci received a preemptive pardon from the former president, much to the fury of his critics who believe the doctor lied to Congress about the US sending money to fund gain-of-function research to a Wuhan, China lab.
The pardon for Fauci, who has not been officially accused of any crimes, will date all the way back to 2014, which was when the National Institutes of Health awarded a multimillion-dollar grant to EcoHealth Alliance, a research group, to study bat coronavirus in Wuhan, where the COVID-19 eventually started.
Because of his preemptive pardon, Rogan said: ‘These states can still sue him. Not only that, when you’re pardoned, you can no longer plead the Fifth, so you could be held for perjury.
‘There’s a lot of issues with being pardoned that I don’t think Biden took into consideration, or Fauci took into consideration either. I think he just wanted anything to protect him because he knew it was coming,’ he added.
‘It’s just a bummer that someone had that kind of power for so long and was such a f***ing monster,’ Rogan continued.
Fauci served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) – which is under NIH – from 1984 to 2022.
He also worked as Biden’s chief medical officer from his inauguration in January 2021 to December 2022. He also advised a total of seven presidents, including Ronald Raegan through the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Earlier this month, a doctor from Chicago, Dr. Cory Franklin, demanded that Fauci tell Americans the truth about this involvement in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Because he was pardoned, Fauci cannot receive any federal indictments for any work between 2014 and 2024.
‘If the government gives him an assurance he will not be prosecuted, Fauci should come clean to the American people. Confession is good for the soul. So is simple honesty,’ he wrote in an op-ed for The Chicago Tribune.
‘Biden’s unusual preemptive pardon further obscures the forest for the trees. The goal of reasonable critics and curious citizens is not to put Fauci in jail, but rather to uncover the truth of what happened,’ he continued.
Fauci should tell us why he has gradually softened his stance against growing evidence that the origin of COVID-19 was a lab leak.’
Fauci’s critics have theorized that the NIH-funded research help create a more contagious coronavirus.
One of the theories on how the COVID-19 pandemic – and one recently backed by the CIA – is that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan.
However, the CIA said it will continue to ‘access that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the COVID-19 pandemic remain plausible’.
Now, many Americans are curious to know Fauci’s role, as he strongly opposed the idea it was a lab leak in the early stages of the pandemic that shut down the world.
