The Many Ways that U.S. Public Health Officials Failed Americans

Who could have predicted a few years ago that when the U.S. encountered a pandemic, the highest ranking public health officials would throw away their playbook for how to deal with a pandemic. It would be as though they forgot everything they had studied for decades. They would make shit up. They would pretend that they knew things when they didn't. They would downplay the risks of the economic shutdown (which they pushed) and exaggerate the risk of COVID. The vaccine manufacturers are hiding the raw data regarding vaccine efficacy. The current big disgraceful thing is that these same powers-that-be want to make sure that we are not getting free flowing data regarding injuries and deaths caused by the COVID vaccine. National Review has recently published this summary of many (but not all) of the failures of U.S. public health officials. The article is "When Science Is Not Science," and here's an excerpt:

In August 2021, Fauci advocated vaccine mandates for schoolchildren under twelve, well after it was clear that this age group had almost no risk of severe Covid-19 disease or mortality. Months later he defended generalized vaccine mandates, claiming they would protect people from becoming infected and passing the virus on to others. But he admitted in a scientific journal article he co-authored that there had always been good scientific reasons to believe that vaccines against the respiratory virus that causes Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2, would provide “decidedly suboptimal” protection against infection that would, at best, last a few months. He made the transmission claims and mandate recommendations anyway, despite data showing that the effectiveness of the vaccines was declining with each new viral variant...

When prominent virologists expressed concern that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 might have been engineered at and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), Fauci and Collins helped draft, publish, and promote a letter/article refuting the lab-leak hypothesis, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” on March 17, 2020, in the prominent journal Nature Medicine. The article unequivocally stated “that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.” Fauci and Collins would repeatedly cite the article as proof that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had a natural origin, as if the article had been published independently of their efforts.

It is as if the U.S. has been led by a bunch of frightened high schoolers who knew nothing about pandemics. Further, the powers that be (including the public health establishment) would make damned sure that we censored all dissent, concocting a false consensus. We're hearing all kinds of rationalization now, including from Francis Collins, but it is woeful and shameful. Most Americans are voting with their feet now and not getting any more boosters. U.S. public health officials have earned this intense disrespect.

Sunshine is the Best Disinfectant – Speech Edition

“Solving hate by banning hate speech is like solving global warming by breaking all the thermometers. All it does is make the hate harder to hear, harder to identify, harder to confront, harder to root out.” Jonathan Rauch

Lack of Informed Consent was a Mere Technicality re COVID

Brett Weinstein is correct. Nazi doctors were hanged at Nuremberg for offenses based on lack of informed consent.

George Carlin summarizes the overall problem in "The American Dream":

[T]hey own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people . . . continue to elect these rich cock-suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you. They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on.

How many people got hurt and died because of the mRNA vax? Good luck finding out. The COVID-industrial complex is working overtime to keep us from finding out, as was exposed in New Zealand recently.  It's the same strategy the CDC implemented in May 2023.  No data, no problem!

Personal autonomy? Ah, such a quaint old idea. So impractical! Such flowery verbiage! We moderns no longer have the time or luxury to heed such poetry.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

And we're just getting started on wiping out informed consent . . .

The Cause of COVID is Apparently Tired Old News

During the height of COVID, corporate news couldn't stop pumping out (often incorrect and misleading) articles about COVID (see bottom of this article). Now that new information is available, corporate media has gone radio silent.  Nothing to see here, even though new information points to U.S. government responsibility for one of the greatest societal disruptions ever.  In contract, Public, founded by Michael Shellenbeerger, continues to vigorously investigate the cause and responsibility for COVID.  Consider this excerpt from Alex Gutentag's recent article: "US And Chinese Scientists Made Plans To Engineer Coronaviruses Like SARS-CoV-2, New Documents Show: Was EcoHealth Alliance’s 2018 DEFUSE proposal a blueprint for bioweapons-related experiments that led to the Covid-19 lab leak?"

This historical evidence, as well as the scientific record, suggests that individuals involved in biodefense and pandemic preparedness may have been responsible for engineering the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The defense and preparedness push that gained funding and momentum after 9/11 appears to have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In attempting to stop pathogens from transmitting to humans, scientists appear to have achieved the opposite.

The response to Covid-19 employed the same biodefense planning and structures. The National Security Council worked to craft Covid-19 policies, and Department of Defense officials were heavily involved in vaccine development and distribution. Out of 90 Operation Warp Speed leaders, 60 were military officials.

Despite the controversy surrounding Covid’s origin, the Department of Defense awarded a new $3 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance in December 2022. Gain-of-function research is largely continuing apace. Chinese scientists now claim to have created a mutated Covid-19 variant that killed humanized mice. The scientific value of this experiment is unclear.

Across the US, there are privately-operated “invisible” biolabs that slip through the cracks in federal regulation. Last year public health officials found that one of these secret privately-owned biolabs in California was mishandling 1,000 laboratory mice and samples of various infectious diseases.

What did Public Health get wrong about COVID? Consider this tweet thread by "Elizabeth Bennet,"a real-life pediatrician, commenting on Jay Bhattacharya's tweet:
