Actor Woody Harrelson criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci during a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, accusing the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director of engaging in “extraordinarily evil sh*t” during his tenure.
Harrelson, 63, joined host Joe Rogan on Saturday to discuss concerns about the country’s healthcare system and the actions of public health officials.
During the conversation, Harrelson praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the current U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, calling him “heroic” and “a man who cares deeply.”

The discussion then shifted to Fauci, whom Harrelson contrasted with Kennedy’s approach to public health.
Fauci, 84, who also served as President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, has faced scrutiny for his handling of vaccines, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Harrelson brought up an earlier controversy surrounding Fauci’s advocacy for azidothymidine (AZT), a drug used during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Harrelson criticized Fauci’s role in promoting AZT, describing it as a “really ineffective” and toxic drug that resulted in numerous deaths, including those of people he personally knew.
