Probably the most important recommendation: HHS should never again adopt a policy of silencing dissenting scientists in an attempt to create an illusion of consensus in favor of CDC groupthink.

In 2021, to support the Biden/Harris administration’s push for vax mandates, the PR firm pushed the false idea that the vax stopped Covid transmission.

As I always knew, vaccines didn't prevent infection or spread. They only reduced the likelihood of ending up in a hospital bed.

I remember Heather Heying of Darkhorse Podcast talking about how the trials didn't assess whether the vaccines prevented spread. This was way back when they were first being tested.

Her concern made no sense to me, because those trials (or at least the data they initially released) did show that the vaccines prevented infection and it seemed obvious that an uninfected person couldn't spread a virus.

I'm really glad someone was sounding the alarm on that right from the beginning.

I was super glad for them during covid. First to be prepared for the worst before we knew anything (we wore a mask in gloves out in public in early 2020 before anyone else was), then to evaluate the merits of the vaccines.

They were my primary source for evaluating all the different claims being made, sometimes just to make sure I wasn't way off base in my own assessments.

From Wikipedia:

Heying has said that she has taken ivermectin to guard against COVID-19 and that she and Weinstein have not been vaccinated "because we have fears [about the side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines], as we have discussed at length on this podcast." Heying compared the use of ivermectin for this purpose to taking anti-malarial drugs.[4] Whereas all WHO-approved vaccines have shown a high level of safety and efficacy in all populations,[27] there is no good evidence of benefit from ivermectin in preventing or treating COVID-19.[28][29]

Siggy, did you end up taking the vaccine? The numbers here are so skewed, so of course people would be afraid and take the vaccine. I wonder what it would have been like if they had just let covid roll through america? Spent the money elsewhere. Sharks always smell blood, though.

I still think Covid may have gone largely unnoticed if not for the manufactured hysteria. I'm not convinced we would have thought it anything other than a bad flu year.

I dont know if it would have gone unnoticed, but if they would have put up a health alert, l think it would have been better.

There was a bad flu year when my parents were young. My dad remembers it because everyone in his family got really sick, but my mom doesn't remember it.

By the numbers, I think the severity was pretty similar to Covid, but nobody thought about it as more than a bad cold and flu season.

I'm not saying ignoring it or withholding information would have been the right thing to do. I'm proposing that if the media and governments hadn't tried to freak everyone out, we might not have noticed that anything particularly different was happening.

Remember that coronaviruses are one of the causes of common colds. It seems plausible to me that there's a version of history where people just remember 2020 has having had a really nasty cold going around.

Spanish flu? There was something connected from families that experienced it and didnt. The covid symptoms were different or something. What really gets me is how in on it the politicians were. They were not following any of the guidelines they put out.

They knew the risks were small on an individual level.

Being as charitable as possible, it's similar to how they fly around on their own private jets and lecture us about driving cars. Their one jet doesn't make a big impact, but all of our cars do.

It's an extremely sick attitude of narcissistic elitism, but it does have a certain logic.

Yeah. I dont remember any of the politicians dying from covid. Maybe they got invermectin before everyone else. I remember Trump got it, then they gave him some advanced medicine. I wonder what that was?

This TFTC episode guest @i_am_johncullen suggests that COVID was coverup for meteor impact preparation (Operation Warp Speed (a better name for asteroid response, to be sure) was the name of that response). He points to this Nigerian impact crater as evidence of that effort & coverup. Worth a listen, I would say.

Neither my wife nor I took the vaccine. It was a nightmare, since we both have health issues and were severely pressured by doctors, friends, etc. It was frankly hell, but I'm happy we held our ground.

Thats good. It was a nightmare for the longest time. There was a lot of discrimination against people that didnt take it.

What got me a little riled up was when they were talking about the covid passports. If that had been pushed through, my life would have been morr miserable.

It has changed me. After reading those recent central bank papers on bitcoin, I can see us all becoming pariahs(selfish, unpatriotic) for holding bitcoin.

The government really enjoyed exercising their power and seeing how far they could take things. They really sold the fear well.

I didnt know it was so devestating to the red blood cells. I remember the vaccine would make you clot internally.

All this while downplaying and even censoring the role of natural immunity for people who were already infected before the vaccines came out. It was not good faith mistakes it was deliberately lying all along

So this Brownstone Institute

https://brownstone.org/about/

Was literally just created to be libertarian anti-vax, during the pandemic?

I mean, sure, why not, but you gotta realize the confirmation bias if you choose to believe their findings and disregard that of public health agencies (of every country in the world-- even America's so-called "enemies").

As a side note, why does every website, podcast, YouTube channel, etc seem their logo coffee mugs and sweatshirts? Who the fuck wants this shit? Is it a tax scam?

Jeffrey Tucker founded the Brownstone Institute. He's an OG bitcoiner. I disagree with him on many, many things. You don't have to agree with Brownstone. This article quotes from the US House Of Representatives Report On Covid Propaganda. That's the important document, which you can download.

Yeah I'm working my way through it, but it's both long and very biased (directly calling the response "botched").
