Warning: Govt May Be Harmful to Your Health. Also Your Mind.
A measles epidemic among illegals at the border. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones given without restraint to children who cannot give informed consent (even as, in a landmark decision, the British Health Service bans them). Biological males allowed to injure female athletes, and rob women’s sports of a level playing field.
Then there’s the COVID vaccine, which has left many injured, and many more robbed of free will in health decisions, along with free speech. The government still won’t acknowledge its mistakes in navigating the pandemic, admittedly new to all of us. The CDC still advocates masks, despite another British landmark study showing them of little effect against COVID. What’s wrong with this picture?
Virtue signalling, that’s what! Meanwhile the government sweeps under the rug all the Emperor Has No Clothes truths it should have learned about COVID, like this one about how the CDC redacted its 148-page study on myocarditis rates after the vax.
Politicians speak much. Who among them said this?
“As President, I will clean up the cesspool of corruption at CDC and force the public health agencies to come clean about COVID vaccines. I’ll hold responsible those who lied or concealed critical health information, including the crooked individual who ordered the destruction of this Myocarditis data.”
Was it Donald Trump, as part of his Drain the Swamp campaign to rid Washington DC (and outposts like Atlanta) of their Deep State corruption? Was it Joe Biden, as part of his mission to marshal Big Pharma and govt healthcare to cure us of what ails?
Hardly. It was Robert F. Kennedy Jr., founder of Children’s Health Defense, and an independent candidate for president. Kennedy has withstood death threats for his cautions against the vaccine, especially for children, who are the least vulnerable in the population. Even so, Biden has denied him a Secret Service detail five times, despite the fact that his father was assassinated on June 5-6, 1968, after winning the California Democrat primary. RFK Jr. was 14 when his father died. In his fifth letter of request to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, he wrote:
“While you were reviewing our fourth ... formal request, Secret Service became aware of Case #74495, who communicated about an upcoming assassination attempt on the Candidate; and Case #74475, a man who described himself as 'a fearless military guy' and had to be removed from a Kennedy campaign event after threatening to 'cause a scene'; and Case #74283, who stated 'I am going to kill RFK Jr. on June 6.' While you were reviewing our first formal request, a mentally ill intruder made his way into Candidate Kennedy's home in Hyannis Port, reaching the second floor before being challenged and subsequently arrested.”
Mayorkas said in response: “Not warranted at this time.” Mayorkas and the rest of Biden’s Cabinet are political soldiers of the worst kind — all title, no honor.
Amid the muck, a few brave voices rise to pierce the COVID hypocrisies.
A nurse in Fresno, California, Michelle Gershman, is reporting a tremendous spike in fetal deaths since patients took the vaccine. The Epoch Times studied damage from the vaccine’s spike proteins — and found six pathways. The surgeon general of Florida, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, has called for an end to the shots, citing the ability of the mRNA delivery system to penetrate, and change, the patient’s DNA.
RFK Jr., Dr. Ladapo and anyone else who believed the government rushed the testing to cash in on the Pharma profits has been cancelled in a way that threatens both science and journalism. So heavy is the veil of censorship against vax critics in the medical field that a group of scientists distanced themselves from the results of their own study, published Feb 29 in the Journal of Infection, which found that Ivermectin — once widely reviled — was more effective against COVID than the vaccine.
Gearing up to keep this chilling lock on medical info is a powerful alliance of Woke DAs such as Letitia James, academic institutions such as Stanford and intel sources yelling (again), “Russian disinformation.” Oral arguments are scheduled Monday at the Supreme Court in a case (Missouri v Biden) that pits these titans of censorship against the red-state Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana, who have already won four lower-court victories. The Brennan Center, a Democrat advocacy group at NYU Law, outlined the censors’ case in its brief: free speech is dangerous, because it could prevent the government from working with allies to warn the American public about “Russia and other actors from interfering in American politics.”
Really, Russia again? Maybe it’s just me but it seems like the Dems need a new playbook. Okay, Putin’s a tough guy. But maybe he’s not the one interfering with our elections — maybe that would be those who seek to quash information.
One of the plaintiffs, Aaron Kheriaty, was the UC Irvine medical ethics czar, before he was fired for refusing to take the vaccine. In his book The New Abnormal, he said he refused the shot because he already had the natural immunity of recovering from COVID, and because he believed in a patient’s right to informed consent.
Seeing in the case a “David and Goliath dynamic,” he notes, “One side carries the combined power of the intelligence community and the federal government colluding with the largest information centers in the history of the world on behalf of the country’s largest lobbying forces. Against that hegemon stands a series of independent doctors, news outlets, and state attorneys general.”
The case exposes the government’s role in censoring critics, a textbook affront to the First Amendment. One of the more egregious results was that it also silenced loved ones whose relatives were killed or injured. As RFK Jr. noted, “These pharmaceutical companies are more like transnational rogue governments. Imagine not being allowed to speak ill of a corporation even when they kill your family members.”
But some did, and to them we owe the chance to recover our faith, and our principles. Dear David, please defeat Goliath, if only to remind us of our foundational grit.
