The Hippocratic Oath, taken by doctors, says “First, do no harm.” The government version says: “First, do not harm Big Pharma’a huge profits.”

We must never forget the damage done to Americans by deliberate government disinformation and censorship of valid science around COVID, as divulged in the U.S. House of Representatives report issued in October. This investigation confirmed that President Joe Biden coordinated a massive campaign to spread disinformation to benefit Big Pharma, and to silence those who challenged the official narrative around vaccines and therapeutics.

Biden paid the Fors-Marsh Group (FMG) nearly $1 Billion of your tax money to orchestrate the “We Can Do This” propaganda campaign, the objectives of which were to (1) Exaggerate COVID mortality, and (2) Downplay evidence that the vax was ineffective.

This campaign was ruinous to ordinary Americans, but it was rather beneficial to Pfizer, which profited over $50 billion in two years for pushing defective and expensive vaccines and therapeutics.

Sadly, most people went along with it. We cannot forgive the damage done by dishonest COVID policies pushed by our Dedicated Public Servants in our public health bureaucracies: Loss of children’s education, destruction of the economy, the assault on small businesses, drug overdoses, suicides, excess deaths, vaccine deaths, and other socio- and psychopathologies run amok.

The American COVID response became a political intimidation program rather than a public health exercise. Our best scientists — those who had the courage to push back against the fraudulent government narrative — were censored and had careers destroyed just for producing honest science. After the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) warned the world of the government’s scientific folly, our Dedicated Public Servants doubled down by declaring the GBD itself to be disinformation, even though the GBD was absolutely valid, and has been signed by over 16,000 public health scientists and nearly 50,000 medical practitioners. No apologies have been issued by Anthony Fauci or others, and nobody went to jail for defrauding the American public.

Not everyone followed our nonsensical policies: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, India, and our own Amish provided “experimental controls” against which we can judge the US response. The US had the worst COVID outcomes in the industrialized world, along with Canada and England. Our Dedicated Public Servants were very wrong, and they knew it all along. Biden’s hired guns at FMG used sophisticated psychological techniques to manipulate the population – particularly the “Health Belief Model” (fear porn about death). Parents were told their kids would die from COVID without the vax, even though actual data showed that kids were almost never affected by COVID.

Hence, kids were subjected to jabs that actually made them more susceptible to illness. They also knowingly inflated (lied about) the COVID death rate by a factor of 50 times to scare you into compliance. Also notable was the mass formation psychosis that resulted in a mob response reminiscent of the Nazi Brown Shirts to bully those who resisted the nonsense.

Look at how many of your neighbors (or you) attacked those who would not submit to the nonsensical mask and vax mandates. The mask became the tribal tattoo of those who declared themselves to be Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “Apostles” or Fauci’s myrmidons. The rest of us could only marvel at the sheep driving alone in their cars while wearing a mask.

In the ultimate totalitarian act, Biden discharged 8,300 of our best military people for refusing the jab. Pilots, Nuclear Officers, Special Operators, and others with millions of dollars in training and years of experience were dumped. Ironically, only a year later our Military was so weakened that Biden was forced to beg the discharged people to come back, but few wanted to return to serve that dictatorial regime.

Our Dedicated Public Servants also told us Ivermectin was dangerous and not useful against COVID, even though no formal studies ever existed to substantiate that claim.

However, between 2020 and 2024, over 100 peer reviewed studies concluded that Ivermectin provided excellent prophylaxis against COVID, and that 40%-50% of COVID deaths could have been prevented by it. Ivermectin was too cheap to enrich Big Pharma ($10 per course), so our Dedicated Public Servants forbade its use, and the sick were forced to pay for Big Pharma’s expensive new product Remdesivir, which was about $400 per course, did nothing to help, and had severe side effects.

Next they pushed Paxlovid on us, still at $400 per course, and only about 25% as effective as Ivermectin. It seems like “horse paste” was the best solution after all.

Our Dedicated Public Servants also claimed we would not get sick if we got the jab, yet 60% of COVID deaths were to fully vaxxed patients. They also insisted the COVID vax was safe, yet U.S. government data (VAERS) showed that within 6 months there were over 6,000 deaths registered as a result of the vax itself.

A whistle-blower reported that this number was under-reported by a factor of 5. Later, the FDA filed in court, on behalf of Pfizer, to hide all COVID vax test data from public view for 75 years. Apparently, FDA did not believe the taxpaying public had a right to know how unsafe the vax was. Such was the magnitude of the collusion between our Dedicated Public Servants and Big Pharma to defraud the public.

COVID taught Americans to never again trust these so-called Dedicated Public Servants, but perhaps this distrust is a healthy thing, given the fraud that still exists in the CDC, NIH, FDA, Congress, the White House, and Big Pharma.

Hopefully the new administration will actually fight for Taxpayer Justice. Wish RFK Jr. good luck, and watch the Dedicated Public Servants squirm.

On the day after the Nov 5 election, the Big 5 of Big Pharma held an emergency meeting. They are already squirming. They are worried. They should be.
