FOIA requests unearth documents exposing NIH’s massive censorship cartel during the covid pandemic
A report by investigative journalist Jimmy Tobias has exposed National Institutes of Health (NIH) documents proving that the agency implemented massive censorship during the onset of the Wuhan coronavirus (covid) pandemic in 2020.
According to documents uncovered through Freedom of Information Act requests, Stanford University professor of medicine and health policy Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next NIH director, was targeted by then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins as a “fringe” epidemiologist for opposing covid lockdowns.
NIH is the main federal government agency that funded China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology 2015 research into the original coronavirus, also known as Sars-Cov-1. The first outbreak of that occurred in 2002-2004, and a decade later it was still being researched. Then, Sars-Cov-2 came almost as quickly as the vaccine. To this date, the origins of these coronaviruses are still being debated. One theory is that the Wuhan lab may have leaked it as it manipulated the original one.
Meanwhile, Tobias’ findings revealed that Lawrence Tabak, NIH principal deputy director under Collins’s leadership, showed up before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic not long ago as he was involved in potential censorship within NIH in January 2021.
Tabak was willing to discuss “a manuscript on gain-of-function research in light of the covid pandemic co-authored by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences bioethicist David Resnik, who allegedly asked for then-Science Policy Director and Chief of Staff Carrie Wolinetz to review it,” a report said.
However, Wolinetz said the manuscript suggested “parity between unsubstantiated manmade and/or laboratory origin theories and peer-reviewed studies which provide scientific evidence that the virus is of natural origin” in a bid to tie the lab-leak theory to the NIH funding.
The manuscript only got published three years later and over a year into Wolinetz stepping down as Tabak’s senior adviser.
Journalist Alex Berenson, who strongly opposed the government’s motion to dismiss his censorship-by-proxy lawsuit, called this “as close to a smoking gun as we could hope to find now.”
Big Tech could lose the liability shield powered by the Communications Decency Act
Meanwhile, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr said Big Tech companies Apple, Microsoft, Meta and Google parent Alphabet may lose their liability shield under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
According to Carr, this is because they failed to show “good faith” in their outsourced content-moderation decisions. He said they played “significant roles” in the “unprecedented surge in censorship” in recent years.
Carr also accused the tech giants of working with the administration of President Joe Biden and his self-appointed “media monitors” to “defund, demonetize and otherwise put out of business” media organizations that flouted certain narratives.
“For one, reports indicate that NewsGuard has consistently rated official propaganda from the [Chinese Communist Party] CCP as more credible than American publications. For another, NewsGuard aggressively fact-checked and penalized websites that reported on the covid lab leak theory. For still another, the Small Business Committee and multiple Media Research Center studies identified numerous instances where NewsGuard apparently does not apply its own ratings in an even-handed manner,” he posted on X, adding that the list goes on.
NewsGuard is under House Oversight Committee investigation and was reviewed in a House Small Business Committee report on the “censorship-industrial complex” this year.
While they were heavily censoring honest doctors who were warning people about the dangers of the so-called covid “vaccine”, the authorities were spending enormous amount of money spreading misinformation.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wasted nearly $1B in U.S. taxpayer money spreading misinformation about covid
The Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives released a 113-page report outlining the many ways in which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wasted nearly $1 billion in U.S. taxpayer money spreading misinformation about the Wuhan coronavirus.
Tony Fauci, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), spearheaded a media misinformation campaign that deliberately misled America about the “science” surrounding covid.
According to Ian Miller of the Brownstone Institute, the Biden regime “repeatedly, profoundly, and often purposefully” communicated “inaccurate information while spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get their preferred messages across.”
Really ramping up the propaganda in 2021, the Biden regime and its partners at the CDC, the HHS and other media entities and government agencies spent unimaginable amounts of taxpayer money misleading people about face masks, the so-called “vaccines,” social distancing and more.
“While the Biden-Harris administration’s public health guidance led to prolonged closures of schools and businesses, the NIH was spending nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money trying to manipulate Americans with advertisements – sometimes containing erroneous or unproven information,” commented Cathy McMorris (R-Wash.), the committee’s chair.
“By overpromising what the covid vaccines could do – in direct contradiction of the FDA’s authorizations – and over emphasizing the virus’s risk to children and young adults, the Biden-Harris administration caused Americans to lose trust in the public health system. Our investigation also uncovered the extent to which public funding went to Big Tech companies to track and monitor Americans, underscoring the need for stronger online data privacy protections.”
Biden’s “Stop the Spread” campaign lied to America about “vaccine” efficacy
One of the biggest lies spread by the Biden regime centered around the idea that the so-called “vaccines” help to prevent covid infections. Biden’s “Stop the Spread” campaign was launched to convince Americans that if they agreed to get jabbed, the “pandemic” would end.
“The entire premise of the Biden-Harris ‘Stop the Spread’ campaign was that if you got vaccinated for covid, you could resume daily activities because they said vaccinated people would not spread the disease,” said Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chair Morgan Griffith (R-Va.).
“Despite lacking scientific basis, the administration bought into this CDC claim and misled the American public. As a result, vaccination coverage with other vaccines appears to have declined, I believe because of a growing distrust of information coming from our public health institutions.”
“Stop the Spread,” by the way, was even more sinister than originally believed in that it deliberately hid messaging from the CDC warning that it was unknown whether or not the jabs stopped either infection or transmission of covid. The “science,” a Biden regime marketing sheet admits, is anything but settled.
Even so, the Biden regime imposed strict jab mandate requirements that are now the subject of numerous lawsuits. Members of the military, law enforcement and other sectors were told they had to get jabbed or else risk losing their jobs, even though the “science” led to more questions rather than answers.
Without any evidence whatsoever, the new report states, the Biden regime claimed falsely that “Covid vaccines were highly effective against transmission,” a lie that led to tens of thousands of completely avoidable injuries and deaths.
New “Thank You, Dr. Fauci” documentary exposes entire covid charade
Award-winning documentarian Jenner Furst has released a new documentary film about Tony Fauci called Thank You, Dr. Fauci that dives deep into the covid “pandemic” scam and associated coverup.
Furst is a two-time Peabody Award-winning and four-time Emmy nominated director and self-described progressive who broke rank with the Democrat Party. His journey into the content for the film started in early 2020 when he was contacted to write a puff piece for Fauci, who used to head up the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Furst never ended up writing the Fauci piece, but instead ended up down a rabbit hole through which he came out the other side with Thank You, Dr. Fauci, a project that the mainstream press is ignoring. Even the popular Rotten Tomatoes critic website refuses to touch the film. This trailer offers a sneak-peak at it.
Furst pressing Musk to promote “Thank You, Dr. Fauci” on X
Some people are having trouble finding Thank You, Dr. Fauci on Google and other search engines due to shadowbanning, according to Furst, who told the independent media that censorship has once again run amok.
“The media blackout of the film just proves that the real covid story is still highly censored,” Furst said.
“Journalists still can’t cover covid truthfully at major outlets, and the problem is way bigger than them or their editors. The most powerful lobbies on the planet, and the weight of the U.S. government is still sitting on the free press like an 800-pound gorilla.”
Furst is hopeful that his film will gain some traction on Elon Musk’s X / Twitter platform.
“I feel like Elon could transform this conversation overnight,” Furst continued.
“The country is divided only due to the success of propaganda on the left. No Democrat can sit through this movie and see Fauci or the pandemic the same way again. That’s why MSM doesn’t want to acknowledge this.”
Former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield is notably featured in the film, as are other figures who played central roles in the covid drama but who were also shut out of Fauci’s inner circle. That inner circle, we now know, was conspiring to construct a genocidal mass deception complete with lockdowns, face masks, and Operation Warp Speed “vaccines.”
Former State Department covid investigator David Asher and Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright, who spent years pushing back against the Fauci agenda within the greater scientific community, are also featured in Thank You, Dr. Fauci.
The film also takes a closer look at the man-made-looking, HIV-like insertions in the covid so-called “virus” that further call into question its true origins.
“Bless your heart, Dr. Fauci,” is how one southern commenter jokingly put it about the true meaning behind the title of the film.
