The past 2.5 years of the pandemic have been dominated by unelected health bureaucrats making declarations about lockdowns, social distancing, mask wearing, and other draconian measures based on dogma, not data. They hold power in his three-letter agencies of the NIH, FDA, CDC, and WHO, and have unbridled influence over elected government officials around the world who are responsible for making policy decisions on COVID-19. I’m here. Unfortunately, this process has been largely guided by following money rather than following science.
Scott Atlas, M.D., Ph.D., a former radiology fellowship colleague, witnessed this situation first-hand during his four months in President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force beginning in August 2020. Stop COVID from destroying America,” he explained as he walked into the first task force meeting armed with every scientific paper on COVID.Hoover Institution policy.
Surprisingly, Dr. Atlas soon discovered a bureaucratic triumvirate of doctors. Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and Robert Redfield, quote only documents from the NIH and CDC, without providing peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials as evidence to support important policy decisions, in a bubble without science. I was active in To make matters worse, it was Dr. Burks who was put in charge of liaison with every state in the country. She was the one who issued marching orders to governors such as Roy Cooper to roll out lockdowns, and she told NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen the policies for implementation.
Atlas was attacked by the media for not being a virologist, even though he was the only person on the board to have health care policy credentials. We have carefully consulted with top epidemiologists around the world who have pointed out that we are not actually doing more harm than good. It didn’t seem like it was taken into consideration. The devastating effects on civil liberties, the economy, mental health and education systems were ignored.
A possible explanation for these irrational policies is that they followed money rather than science because of the massive conflicts of interest that existed between government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. The FDA is a captured agency that gets 45% of its $5.7 billion annual budget from industry user fees, and the CDC benefits from every approved vaccine. Fauci and his NIAID own half of Moderna’s vaccine patents, and the NIH’s massive corruption has led to RFK, Jr.
These same bureaucrats have taken all initial steps to ensure a vaccine’s EUA, despite scientific studies that have shown impressive success in off-label use of repurposed FDA-approved drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. President Trump’s attempt to make such a breakthrough treatment available to all outpatients was called “Courage in the Face of COVID-19: Biopharmaceuticals Preventing hospitalizations and deaths while battling complexes has resulted in thousands of preventable deaths. By John Leake and Peter McCullough, MD, MPH.
Vaccine advertising above all else is proving to be a misguided choice that the nation is beginning to regret. superseded by the CDC betrayal of RFK, Jr., “A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack. On Science and American Ideals.”
It’s important to note that pharmaceutical companies are exempt from liability for these questionable products, but they’re asking agencies to mandate their use even in healthy children who have a virtually zero chance of dying from COVID. I’m applying pressure. The only state to take a bold stance on this policy is Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis and his Public Health Director Joe Ladapo, M.D. A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Hygiene addresses many objections. He wrote in The Wall Street Journal against lockdowns and promoting civil liberties.
The United States’ COVID policy has been impacted by most countries around the world, many of whose leaders are graduates of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders Program, including New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, who has had some of the toughest policies on the planet. I’ve been keeping pace with. But there is a growing backlash against this totalitarian trend. This stems from the recent election victory in Italy by Giorgia Meloni, who ran against the mandate. Perhaps the November midterm elections set the stage for a similar move away from fear and toward freedom in the country.
