A Summary of the COVID-19 Pandemic Investigation
U.S. House of Representatives report vindicates the tinfoil hat crowd
The U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Committee on Oversight and Accountability recently issued its final report, After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward. The report is an indictment of the elites and all their experts trotted out to tell the plebs about “the science.” This extends to authority figures in church bodies who were easily duped or complicit in parroting the government-sponsored narrative. Victims of the expert class have earned the right to mock and scorn them until they publicly repent.
This summary highlights specific areas of failure rather than attempting to summarize the whole report. The sub-bullets have been given some editorial color.
Mixing Sciency Science & Biznessy Business
The most heavily promoted and rigorously enforced COVID-19 policies lacked scientific support or justification, including:
Six-Foot Social Distancing Rule: Implemented without solid scientific evidence, with experts admitting it was pure quackery. Recall
Magic plexiglass dividers at supermarkets.
Stickers and signs shouting, “Separate or die!”
Worship and funeral services decimated by distance.
Prolonged School Closures: Despite clear evidence that children were at very low risk of infection and harm, schools were forced and then volunteered to close for outrageous durations. The consequence was generational damage to children dependent on classroom school.
“Learning loss” is a teachers’ union euphemism for regression in knowledge and skill development. These losses appear irrecoverable based on reports of the first post-COVID college cohorts needing massive remedial assistance.
Prolonged Lockdowns: Millions of people were condemned to chronic unemployment despite the lack of evidence that it would actually “flatten the curve.”
Livelihoods were destroyed as the authorities played games, declaring one thing an essential service and another not. Hourly wage employees who could not do remote work were worst affected.
Going to church was a terrible sin, but going to the abortion factory, liquor store, and pot shop was righteous civic affirmation.
Thousands of addicts died as the loss of support and despair took their toll.
Thousands of people died from delayed or denied treatment as medical professionals and administrators chose to prioritize themselves above their patients.
The elderly, who were susceptible to the virus, were euthanized by:
Having infected patients placed into their care facilities (NY, NJ, MI especially),
Being refused contact or even visits from their family and pastors (critical to maintaining the equilibrium of dementia patients),
Medically Assisted Homicide by giving the drugs Midazolam and Remdesivir to patients.
Metabolic disorders exploded because people binged on junk food without exercise opportunities.
Mask Mandates: Lacked even mildly robust scientific support contradicting previous health experts' and organizations' guidelines.
Enforced masking of children was nothing less than criminal and should at least result in severe civil penalties for the pushers.
Vaccine Mandates Without Natural Immunity Consideration: Refused to acknowledge the evidence for natural immunity (herd immunity).
Vaccine Passports: Created extended and more severe lockdowns for unvaccinated individuals despite vaccines not preventing infection or transmission.
Suppression of Alternative Treatments: Government health authorities, working in league with drug companies, ensured that alternative treatments were never evaluated by accepted scientific procedures and were derided and censored in equal measures.
Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were the headline drugs, derided as “horse medicine” and “bleach,” respectively.
Public pillory campaigns for individuals and organizations proposing alternative treatments or reporting their results, e.g., Joe Rogan and The Great Barrington Declaration.
Travel Bans and Area Containment: Enforced without clear evidence of effectiveness, especially with existing widespread community transmission and, therefore, natural immunity.
Quarantining: There was no justifiable reason to quarantine anyone but the elderly and most vulnerable (metabolic disorders).
Closing Parks and Outdoor Recreational Areas: There was a very low transmission risk outdoors, and it was mentally and physically vitalizing for people to be outdoors.
Exaggeration of Vaccine Efficacy: Lied about the vaccines’ ability to prevent infection and transmission and the subsequent “need” for boosters, which also failed.
There is growing evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are responsible for several autoimmune disorders and other serious injuries that far exceed the rates for prior vaccines.
The vaccines did not account for new virus variants.
Vaccinating Without Adequate Testing: mass vaccination was undertaken with negligent if not deliberately deceptive, testing.
Secret Vaccination Contracts With Immunity Clauses: The Vax drug companies secured agreements with countries that guaranteed legal immunity and galactic profits.
Gargantuan Waste Fraud and Abuse: The COVID-19 pandemic relief programs experienced significant waste, fraud, and abuse across various initiatives:
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Fraud:
Susceptible to fraudulent claims due to rapid implementation and self-verification.
Activities included inflated payroll costs, misrepresented employee numbers, misuse of loan proceeds, and identity theft.
Estimated $64 billion lost to fraud.
Enhanced Unemployment Insurance (UI) Fraud:
There was a tsunami of fraudulent claims, with an estimated $191 billion lost.
Exploited using stolen identities, including those of deceased individuals and federal prisoners.
States struggled with outdated IT systems and lacked proper verification methods.
Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program Fraud:
Increased vulnerability to fraud, with at least $200 million lost.
Fraudsters used false employee identification numbers, inflated business revenues, and multiple applications.
SBA failed to implement proper oversight controls.
Transnational Fraud:
International criminal organizations exploited relief programs, with significant funds stolen by international actors.
Notable cases include thefts by Chinese government-linked hackers, Nigerian fraud rings, and an Indian national.
Oversight Failures:
Federal agencies were siloed, preventing holistic tracking and disbursing of funds.
Agencies did not require or validate applicant information, leading to significant fraud and improper payments.
Outdated financial management systems resulted in billions of dollars in improper payments.
COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Harms
Lack of Scientific Basis: The mandates deliberately ignored natural immunity and demanded blanket application irrespective of risk profile.
Violation of Individual Rights: Mandates infringed on personal liberties and the right to make health decisions for oneself and one's family.
Economic and Social Consequences: Refusing the mandates led to job losses, economic instability, denied healthcare, and workforce shortages, particularly in healthcare and essential services.
Erosion of Trust in Public Health: The hyper-aggressive public-private collusion to impose mandates without transparent communication has permanently damaged public trust in health authorities and vaccines.
Political Polarization: The mandates deepened political divisions and increased social inequities.
Impact on Military Readiness: The mandates led to the termination of service members, affecting military readiness and recruitment.
Harm to Doctor-Patient Relationship: Mandates undermined the ability of doctors to make individualized risk-based assessments for their patients.
Resistance and Vaccine Hesitancy: The coercive nature of mandates was believed to entrench distrust and provoke resistance, potentially increasing vaccine hesitancy.
Legal and Ethical Concerns: Mandates raised questions about individual rights and freedoms, leading to legal challenges and public protests.
Adverse Reactions and Safety Concerns: Opposition to mandates was fueled by concerns about potential side effects and the long-term safety of the vaccines.
Inconsistent and Changing Policies: Frequent changes and inconsistencies in mandate policies led to confusion and frustration among the public.
Uncle Sam Only Tells the Truth
The censorship campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic involved efforts by government agencies, social media platforms, and public health organizations to control information that competed with or contracted the official narrative about the virus, treatments, and vaccines. Key aspects included:
Social Media Regulation:
Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube implemented policies to delete or flag undesirable content at the behest of governments and international health agencies.
Algorithms were adjusted to reduce the visibility of competing information and promote regime-approved sources.
Fact-checking organizations, closely linked to government agencies through funding and staffing, were employed to lead the suppression and censorship campaign.
Government Involvement:
The Biden Administration, other governments, and international health agencies pressured social media companies to censor specific posts, particularly those providing alternative vaccine information.
Public health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, were involved in discussions about controlling information dissemination.
Some governments passed laws or regulations to penalize the spread of “false information”.
Suppression of Alternative Views:
Content questioning official narratives or presenting alternative viewpoints faced censorship.
Scientists and medical professionals expressing dissenting opinions faced deplatforming or professional repercussions, including losing their medical licenses.
Legal and Ethical Concerns:
The censorship campaign raised debates over the balance between preventing harm from “misinformation” and protecting freedom of speech.
Lawsuits were filed against social media companies and government agencies, asserting that censorship infringed on free expression rights.
Impact on Public Trust:
The aggressive censorship led to concerns about government overreach and the suppression of legitimate scientific debate.
The campaign had mixed effects on public trust. Some applauded the efforts to combat misinformation, while others felt it fueled skepticism and distrust in authorities.
“I Am Science”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been accused of several nefarious, obstructive, and dishonest actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including:
Disparaging the “lab-leak theory” and promoting the "Proximal Origin" paper to disprove it despite evidence suggesting it was plausible.
He made inconsistent statements about the lab leak theory, publicly dismissing it while later testifying that he had kept an open mind.
Funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through EcoHealth Alliance and misleading Congress about it.
Pressuring social media companies to censor certain COVID-19 content leads to accusations of violating free speech.
Exaggerating the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines to prevent infection and transmission.
Ignoring expert advice from senior FDA scientists about the rapid pace of vaccine approvals and booster recommendations.
Suppressing alternative treatments like Ivermectin, mischaracterizing them as solely veterinary drugs.
Using tactics to avoid producing documents responsive to FOIA requests, including intentionally misspelling key terms in emails.
Fostering an environment that promoted evading FOIA requests and lacking transparency.
Being involved in discussions to downplay the lab leak theory and promote a natural origin of the virus despite internal doubts.
Millionaire Welfare
EcoHealth Alliance facilitated gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with incentives provided by the NIH. The research involved creating chimeric viruses with increased pathogenicity, posing significant biosafety risks.
Failure to Report Dangerous Experiments: They failed to promptly report experiments showing enhanced virus growth, violating grant terms.
Late Submission of Reports: They submitted their Year 5 Annual Progress Report nearly two years late, hindering oversight and accountability.
Misleading NIH: EcoHealth misled the NIH about the location of U.S.-funded samples, which were under the custody of a debarred organization.
Obstruction and Misleading Congress: They obstructed investigations and misled Congress, raising concerns about their integrity and accountability.
Lack of Access to Lab Notebooks: They failed to provide NIH with the original laboratory notebooks and data necessary to verify experiments.
DARPA Rejection: Their DEFUSE proposal was rejected by DARPA due to a lack of a gain-of-function or dual-use research of concern plan.
Conflicts of Interest: Dr. Daszak's involvement in research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology raised concerns about conflicts of interest in investigating the origins of COVID-19.
Mismanagement of Funds: Due to mismanagement, there are questions about EcoHealth Alliance’s use of taxpayer dollars.
Inappropriate Conduct: Dr. Morens' inappropriate conduct, including using personal email to avoid FOIA, deleting federal records, and making crude statements, further undermines trust.
False Testimony: Dr. Morens likely provided false testimony to Congress, violating federal law.
Words cannot express how grateful I am that most of this did not impact me personally. My husband and I run our own business, and work from home. At the time we lived in Texas and were in the construction industry-deemed essential there. The worst part for us was not being able to go to church (virtual did okay for a while, but we had a hard time with it) inconvenience, and weight gain. We’re both introverts, so the lack of society bothered us only after about three months of lock down, so we visited South Dakota, which never locked down, and eventually moved here. The worst part was family members in the medical industry telling us why we should buy all of the government bs, family and friends losing jobs, or under threat to do so, and family and friends buying in to the whole bs and getting sick anyway - some dying because of it. Words cannot express my gratitude that we don’t live in Canada or Australia or New Zealand, which handled this even worse than the US.
The Catholic Bishops were the worst! Closing churches for months. President Harrison did a pretty good job, and that is saying a lot since these were uncharted waters. I am grateful for our Governor DeWine who named churches as "essential" in Ohio.
