Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins in 2018.

In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to “follow the science.” In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research.
The tale unfolded in October 2020 after the launch of the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya against blanket pandemic lockdowns. They favored a policy of what they called “focused protection” of high-risk populations such as the elderly or those with medical conditions. Thousands of scientists signed the declaration—if they were able to learn about it. We tried to give it some elevation on these pages.

That didn’t please the lockdown consensus enforced by public-health officials and the press. Dr. Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health until Sunday, sent an email on Oct. 8, 2020, to Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists . . . seems to be getting a lot of attention – and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises,” Dr. Collins wrote. “Is it underway?”
These researchers weren’t fringe and neither was their opposition to quarantining society. But in the panic over the virus, these two voices of science used their authority to stigmatize dissenters and crush debate. A week after his email, Dr. Collins spoke to the Washington Post about the Great Barrington Declaration. “This is a fringe component of epidemiology,” he said. “This is not mainstream science. It’s dangerous.” His message spread and the alternative strategy was dismissed in most precincts.
Dr. Fauci replied to Dr. Collins that the takedown was underway. An article in Wired, a tech-news site, denied there was any scientific divide and argued lockdowns were a straw man—they weren’t coming back. If only it were true. The next month cases rose and restrictions returned.
Dr. Fauci also emailed an article from the Nation, a left-wing magazine, and his staff sent him several more. The emails suggest a feedback loop: The media cited Dr. Fauci as an unquestionable authority, and Dr. Fauci got his talking points from the media. Facebook censored mentions of the Great Barrington Declaration. This is how groupthink works.
On CBS last month, Dr. Fauci said Republicans who criticize him are “really criticizing science, because I represent science. That’s dangerous.” He isn’t “science.” And it’s also dangerous for scientific officials to mobilize to quash dissent, without which it’s easy to make tragic mistakes. A scientific debate over pandemic policy was and still is in the public interest, especially during a once-in-a-century plague.
Focused protection of nursing homes and other high-risk populations remains the policy road not taken during the pandemic. Perhaps this strategy wouldn’t have prevailed if a debate had been allowed. But it isn’t enough to repeat, as Dr. Collins did on Fox News Sunday, that advocates are “fringe epidemiologists who really did not have the credentials,” and that “hundreds of thousands of people would have died if we had followed that strategy.”
More than 800,000 Americans have died as much of the country followed the strategy of Drs. Collins and Fauci, and that’s not counting the other costs in lost livelihoods, shuttered businesses, untreated illnesses, mental illness from isolation, and the incalculable anguish of seeing loved ones die alone without the chance for a family to say good-bye.
Rather than try to manipulate public opinion, the job of health officials is to offer their best scientific advice. They shouldn’t act like politicians or censors, and when they do, they squander the public’s trust
Who is Our Lyme Disease Guy In Here
The first 4 that got it seemed to be delta. Hit pretty hard and had the same type of symptoms most people have had the past few months. The last 2 seemed like a more mild version, but they're older and have more issues. Recent 2 had cough, sinus congestion, body aches and moved into stomach junk, diarrhea, etc.Thanks for this response. Any chance you could let me know more symptoms of the latest version of Wuhan Charlie.
I had to celebrate family Christmas today with mom and brothers family (THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE VAX…but my SIL is retarded liberal). Well my nephew was sneezing and coughing and all around sick….but it’s ok bc he is 15 and vaccinated so even if he catches it….he will be ok. WTF yore bringing your sick germ ass infested family around me…..and you wanna know about my Vax….health.
Well before 9 am I told her to FRO, informed her this isn’t a vax….then watched her google and frown in front of everyone as she was wrong, then MY AUNT DIED. No shit.
Crazy day but I am serious….in my area I know people that would get real sick and not go to the doctor while denying the exact symptoms. So they may have had it BUT won’t admit. And this was my close experience with “These people” she majored in JOURNO and mom is a fat ugly lady….TYPICAL LIBS. She will get the world sick and “kill”unvaccinated people while laughing and blaming them.
Didn’t get a chance to call the crazy crazy bc of moms sis passing and bro asking.
I’m going to suffer and die. I’m a threat to the clean people. Get vaxxed. Vax ERRRRYBODY. Did I mention get vaxxed? Shout out to Google. We’re paying for the ‘free’ 500.000,000 tests and “I’m not supposed to be giving this press conference”.
Oh, and the drugs wore off and he yelled at me…again.
Hang him, and then give 5 days for all others who are guilty to come forward for 5-10 year sentence's. Don't come forward and are caught, the noose

Prayers Brother.
That’s also the brand that I got, type. Good friends of ours came down with it on Saturday, they had it back a little over a year ago so I was a little surprised with their natural immunity to have gotten it again. He is the manager at a very high-end well-known strip club here in Atlanta and who knows the amount of germs where people are from etc. that he is exposed to so I’m chalking it up to that.

Yah very sad. But now that they have figured out how to steal elections and some of the Republicans are in on it, it will be the New Normal to use their words.
None of them will go to jail, because even the DOJ and the Judiciary are in on it as well.

Not sure what to think of this. On one hand, good for Russia for not going along with stealing the citizens of the worlds $$. Or it could be Russia wasn't offered a fair amount to support this pile of crap "climate" policy or whatever it is called now so they just said screw you to the rest of the world leaders supporting the climate grift.
Someone tweet Jack back and let him know that many of us here have been saying this for the entire time mandates and lock downs became a thing.
There is a way to revive it, but it would involve getting very messy.
Blame Trump is the only feasible part of that scenario. Vaccines and Fauci have become religion to the far left, a pivot away isn’t possible, just as they can‘t say climate change is a hoax.
Yes. The most promising new vaccines are intranasal vaccines. By inducing mucosal antibodies in the upper respiratory tract (URT), it creates a front line defense against infection. This is compared to the current vaccines, which induce spike-specific antibodies in the bloodstream. Those antibodies can't be brought to bear against an infection until the infection reaches the blood barrier in the lower respiratory tract. This likely explains why a vaccinated person is just as likely to get and spread Covid, but their odds of severe infection are greatly reduced. Covid is most dangerous when it leaves the URT and starts circulating in the blood.
Here is an example of one of these new vaccines:
COVID-19 nasal spray vaccine in the works at Stanford Medicine

There is nothing unusual about getting Covid more than once. The question is whether the subsequent infection is worse than the prior infection. How bad is their new infection? Severe subsequent infections are extremely rare.

So they're using the baking soda formula too.

This guy is worthless. If the GOP makes him Speaker, you can bet your ass nothing will happen.
Re: Mask mandates. Remember, there are email from Fauci to Collins in March 2020 saying to disregard using masks since they don't do shit. Those email were obtained via FOIA. And masks don't work in any regard to this virus. It's foolish to believe they do work.Report: 33 Congressmen Sit on Advisory Board of Group with Ties to CCP
