Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

 Quote: "Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) completed the case for its own dissolution.  Now is the time to do it.  This federal agency has destroyed any remaining shred of credibility with Americans, especially with the practicing — not the bureaucratic — medical community.  Without public trust, the CDC has no reason to exist.

The CDC's latest act of intentional medical disinformation was revealed last week.  The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) added mRNA anti-COVID injections to the routine immunization schedule for all children (and adults), knowing the dangers of the "jab," hiding its adverse impacts, downplaying limited efficacy, and intentionally ignoring children's natural resistance to COVID.  They knew that the shots were hazardous.  They knew that the shots were unnecessary.  They approved widespread use anyway.

The CDC has engaged in numerous prior acts of medical malfeasance defending and justifying the Democrat COVID narrative, a scam reminiscent of the emperor's new clothes.  There is ample proof that the CDC withheld, fabricated, manipulated, and distorted data.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the voice of federal response to COVID, claimed, "I represent science."  Yet he has repeatedly lied to the American people, spouting non-science.  His credibility, along faith in the official Washington medical establishment, is gone, finished, kaput.

Their actions have destroyed any semblance of trust in what the CDC publishes or advises.  The agency needs to disbanded.

Americans do need proper, honest, truly scientific medical information with no political agenda.  We do not need federal orders or mandates.  Physicians neither need nor want the CDC and FDA telling them what they can and cannot do for their patients.

The CDC should be razed to the ground, metaphorically, and replaced by a new entity that does what the CDC should do.  Give it a name like ARMI, the Agency for Reliable Medical Information — anything but "CDC."  Elon Musk is trying to change the culture of Twitter without destroying the whole organization.  We wish him well turning Twitter from a progressive advocacy organ into a free market of ideas.  However, history has shown that large, established companies with deeply embedded cultural norms cannot be changed or re-tuned.  They have to be blown up and then start over.

The logic that applies to the CDC pertains equally to other large medical federal entities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  The FDA has approved a COVID booster with no clinical data at all.  In a paradigm of non-science, the NIH censored an evidence-based report by three eminent scientists because it disputed the Washington narrative.  Senior NIH officials accept millions in royalties from companies they regulate.  There can be no trust when there is such obvious conflict of interest.

For more than fifty years, CMS has ignored its own legal mandate, illegally controlling medical care for Americans.  Section 1801 of the 1965 Medicare law is titled "Prohibition against any federal interference."  Washington is prohibited from controlling state provision of medical goods and services.  Yet, through its contracts with health plans, CMS decides what, when, where, and even if people get care. Other venerable Washington institutions have been likewise corrupted away from their original purposes to become ideologic vehicles that support, justify, and protect the progressive movement with its plan to "remake" America. 

When the Department of Justice (DOJ) selectively investigates and prosecutes (or doesn't) based on political tactics rather than equal application of law, the DOJ has signed its own organizational death warrant.  Attorney General Merrick Garland is likely to face impeachment proceedings if Republicans become the House majority.  His attacks on conservatives and threatening parents for speaking out at school board meetings, while ignoring more than 500 riots by BLM and Antifa in the summer of 2020 and protecting Hunter Biden from accountability for his crimes prove that Garland believes in unequal justice under his laws.What authoritarian Washington can't get away with because of legal constraints on federal power, it accomplishes indirectly through proxies such as regulatory agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);  teachers', public service, and other unions; and legacy media: broadcast, online, and print, viz., the New York Times and Washington Post.  They have all been corrupted, politicized, and weaponized by progressives against political enemies — in fact, against free speech by a conservative or anyone with a dissenting opinion.  They denigrate, suppress, cancel, and verbally (sometimes physically) attack those who aren't progressive radicals such as Trump and the numerous newcomer, non-professional politicians currently running for political office in Congress and gubernatorial races.

The Washington establishment, starting with but not limited to the CDC and DOJ, needs a total makeover.  Not merely a cosmetic change at the top, but a fundamental restructuring to restore the primary function of government: protection of individual freedom.  Washington must restore Americans' Bill of Rights, with particular reference to free speech (First Amendment); equal, "reasonable" application of laws (Amendments Four through Eight); and the Tenth Amendment's limitation on federal power.

Virtually all incumbent politicians and their henchmen-bureaucrats like Fauci are extremely reluctant (to say the least) to give up the power they currently enjoy, unconstitutional though it is.  The midterm election cycle provides We the People the opportunity to replace them with true patriots who will rein in out-of-control federal government.  Nothing less will restore the American Dream. 

Quote: "Amnesty for COVID fear pushers? Forget it! On October 31, 2022, The Atlantic published an opinion piece titled "Let's Declare a Pandemic Amnesty," with the subtitle, "Let's focus on the future, and fix the problems we still need to solve," penned by Brown University economist Emily Oster.

The article began by rehearsing a litany of social measures that were taken in response to the pandemic, highlighting the animosity that arose between opposing factions.

I have been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I'm co-teaching at Brown University on COVID. We've spent several lectures reliving the first year of the pandemic, discussing the many important choices we to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.

"Uncertainty" is the crux of the issue, according to the author.  Since this was all new territory we were treading together, all parties should let bygones be bygones because none of us actually knew what the truth was (with the exception of those who were deliberately disseminating disinformation, whoever they are).

The exciting conclusion of the piece is as follows:

The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. Let's acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward.

It's unclear what "dwelling on the mistakes of history" entails, or how that leads to "a repetitive doom loop."I could have summarized this op-ed without reading it (though I did read it).  The title alone raised red flags for me.  Why?  Because left-leaning media sources never extend an olive branch to those on the opposing side.  It's a tendency I'd noticed but couldn't articulate until I heard Sean Hannity say on his program, "Conservatives think liberals are wrong and attempt to argue with them.  Liberals think conservatives are evil and attempt to destroy them."

This is obvious based on who has been canceled or silenced on social media, and who has pillaged and burned communities in the last two years.  The left assumes a false position of moral supremacy, which, in their mind, vindicates the ends justifying the means.  The right hamstrings itself continually by moral adherence to truth.

What brings about this uncharacteristic change of heart?  Why would the screeching Karens who accused anyone hesitant to accept an experimental vaccine of exacerbating the death toll suddenly decide to turn down the volume?

I have a hypothesis: it is becoming increasingly difficult for leftists to suppress evidence that they've been wrong all along, and they know it.  When you're right, you sound the trumpet.  When you're wrong, it's "nothing to see here, folks, move along."  If we begin to see more and more conciliatory gestures from the left, it means they're transitioning to damage control mode.

Why do I suspect this?

Steven Crowder released what I consider to be a groundbreaking video on Rumble titled "Undertaker Explains 'Mysterious' Clotting Phenomenon!"  The video is an interview with British funeral director John O'Looney (unfortunate moniker), wherein he details anomalies discovered with cadavers since the pandemic.

To wit, embalmers attempting to drain cadavers that come to the funeral homes find that gravity and pumps don't suffice.  There have been myriad headlines regarding speculation that the vaccines cause myocarditis or thrombosis due to blood clots, but, according to O'Looney, the blockages aren't blood clots.

When the embalmers make incisions in the arteries to remove the blockages, they extract a heretofore unknown white, rubbery mass that resembles something from a "Ridley Scott movie," that has the "texture of calamari" (squid).

When Crowder asked O'Looney if the anomalies were found exclusively in people who have been vaccinated, he deferred to material released by another funeral director, Richard Hirschman, published in the Epoch Times, stating that the only individual who hadn't been vaccinated had received a blood transfusion from someone who had.

Before interviewing O'Looney (who has been pilloried by the press for his revelations), Crowder attempted to interview numerous domestic funeral directors and embalmers.  Mum.  So he asked O'Looney why he was going public.  He replied that if someone didn't say something, there was going to be a "biblical death rate if they keep queuing-up for these poisons."

Maybe.  All I know is pattern recognition.  The left is not prone to acquiescence.  If we begin to see more olive branches extended by traditional media, it means that these types of revelations can't continue to be suppressed.  Perhaps amnesty for the culpable is inappropriate.  Kudos to the bold individuals who risk livelihoods and reputations to bring these revelations to the public sphere."    Amnesty for COVID fear pushers?
