“[A]nd with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false….” - 2 Thes. 2:10-11
A recent edition of the "Joe Rogan Podcast" featured the following mic drop moment:
“The House released a 500-page report on the pandemic. … Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic basically said all the conspiracy theorists were correct. Every single one of them. No repercussions … no apology … none of it.”
As more and more evidence comes out, one thing becomes clear: The days of the Alabama state health officer's (SHO) lack of accountability MUST END NOW!
What will it take for the scam artists who perpetrated the lies and destruction of the past five years in our state to finally admit it, leaving us to clean up their epic failures? If justice is to be served, at the very least they would be shamed and immediately relieved of their responsibilities and we'd have a belated assessment and clean slate.
Yet our SHO Dr. Scott Harris remains in place. Given the governor's new-found “supreme authority” to fire Admiral Kent Davis as commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, she should belatedly fire the foolish Harris (Alabama's Tony Fauci), as his politically-liberal leanings have not served the state well.
Alabama has an opportunity to lead the country in exposing the lies, deceptions, injuries and deaths of the past few years. But if these years are any indication, our leaders will continue to try and sweep things under the rug. That MUST END in order to reduce further damage and more Alabamian deaths.
The Reckoning Begins
The COVID congressional report mentioned by Rogan details the obvious: The COVID catastrophe was one lie built on another. The report's findings implicate many federal agencies, chief of which are the public health entities who performed shamefully at every level.
At the beginning of the 500+ page congressional report, Fauci is clearly identified at the center of the COVID lies, which he expressed repeatedly while Americans died. At the least, he should be held to account for his lies while giving sworn testimonies to Congress. His evil team of “scientists” were identified for many problems, including their clandestine maneuvers to avoid oversite with burner phones. They not only illegally evaded FOIA requests, they instructed others on how to do so. Plus, the NIH funded the gain of function research that led to the initial unleashing of the pathogen which harmed or infected billions.
The report acknowledges that public trust in public health has plummeted. A huge July 2024 survey published in the JAMA Network confirms this, showing that public trust in physicians and hospitals plummeted from 71% to 40% during the pandemic.
The Biden administration and many public health officials exaggerated the power of COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone knows that natural immunity works, yet officials swore it didn't. On a personal note, one of the leading doctors in our state – who was perpetually wrong on this issue – challenged me in the hall of a local hospital, scolding me to get a COVID shot. Fortunately, I had been up until 2 a.m. that morning reading and reviewing the evidence about this specific issue and stated the obvious. He ignored the data and insisted that I blindly trust the CDC. Thank God that many of us had the wisdom not to trust so blindly! Hopefully he and others in leadership positions will exit stage left immediately and allow our state to begin to recover integrity in the medical profession.
The perpetual lies about masking, lockdowns, mandates, testing and social distancing were disseminated and forced on Americans with threats of fines, job loss and/or imprisonment – which actually occurred. These expert actions worsened Americans' mental and physical health – all because public health intentionally skewed, hid and misrepresented the data. The prescription – in this case, strict and overly broad lockdowns that led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences – cannot be worse than the disease.
Biden's Health and Human Service Department “obfuscated evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials,” the report explains, blocking legitimate congressional oversight. The report also details how CDC Director Rochelle Walensky “overruled expert advisors in an apparent attempt to satisfy President Joe Biden’s arbitrary vaccine approval goals.” As Dr. Scott Harris correctly alluded to at the start of the initial Webex for Alabama's COVID Vaccine Working Group in October 2020, the primary goal of a vaccine campaign is to further herd immunity. But, in blindly “carrying the water” for those in Washington, D.C., he had no real concern for this vitally important metric – that was never the goal.
A section of the report that will haunt us for years to come is the one titled, "Vaccine Mandates Were Not Supported by Science and Caused More Harm than Good." In October 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a guidance paper stating that six criteria must be met IF vaccine mandates were to be CONSIDERED. Overarching all these is the need for “informed consent.” This wise counsel was ignored; people are still coerced into getting these “experimental, biologically active, genetic altering agents.” Not only is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) a sad joke, public health doesn't care, and they gaslight those who seek the truth. Despite their deceptions and lies, there is more than sufficient evidence in them that should cause a recall of the COVID shots immediately.
Finally, the report briefly addresses the sad reality regarding the brazen assault on the sacrosanct patient-physician relationship, followed by another brief address of how the Biden administration falsely coerced people to not take a very safe and effective medicine: Ivermectin.
Other interesting findings from the report include:
“The Constitution cannot be suspended in times of crisis, and restrictions on freedoms sow distrust in public health.”
“Rampant fraud, waste, and abuse plagued the COVID-19 pandemic response.” The governments' abuses also led to hundreds of billions (true accountability may actually reveal it to be in the trillions) of dollars missing because of rampant negligence and corruption.
“Pandemic-era school closures will have enduring impact on generations of America’s children and these closures were enabled by groups meant to serve those children.” Sadly, but not surprisingly, the non-scientific American Federation of Teachers union directed the Biden transition team (and the eventual presidential strategy regarding school openings) as to their demands that schools be closed, children's health be damned.
The forced lockdowns hurt millions of Americans' ability to sustain a business and provide employment. If memory serves, over 10,000 small businesses in Alabama didn't reopen after the catastrophe.
The Biden administration employed illegal methods to fight what it deemed to be misinformation. Mitigation measures and aggressive efforts to squash legitimate scientific debate unnecessarily exacerbated unemployment.
While this historically important document missed the mark on a couple of egregious assaults by the scientism that has been fully exposed, the belated findings should be a clear warning to the destructive pride that has injured and killed countless souls in innumerable ways.
And while those who value the scientific method and saw through the deadly and injurious lies feel a sense of vindication with this epic report, in reality, we are simply grateful that we had the eyes to see and ears to hear. We hope and pray that all come to acceptance of truth. Hopefully we will never buy into the dangers of these experimental, biologically active, genetic-altering agents again; and gain of function research will be halted immediately.
