So does Trump get held accountable for saying that it "will just go away" on its own? That was months before he himself contracted it.
But, it would have gone away or gotten way less prevalent has the govt not stuck their nose in it and made millions off of it.

How do you want him held accountable? And what happened to honest mistakes? I guess that only applies to the Fauci regime.

And what about Biden saying if you take the vaccine you won't get sick? Which is worse, that or what Trump said?

The politicians in the govt damn sure did. Why else would all of the swinging dicks pimp the vaccine as hard as they did?

You want to talk about someone who knew better and went out there and spouted bullshit anyway? That includes Trump. Do him just like Fauci... put him up in front of Congress and watch him try to bullshit his way through it.

And Biden said/says a lot of stupid shit.

There was more handed out in relief funds than anything.
And, where do you think that fucking money came from? It damn sure wasn't from the politicians pockets.

During the pandemic, the American people started to feel that Big Government was very cozy with Big Pharma.

Now we know just how close they were.

New data from the National Institutes of Health reveals the agency and its scientists collected $710 million in royalties during the pandemic, from late 2021 through 2023. These are payments made by private companies, like pharmaceuticals, to license medical innovations from government scientists.

Almost all that cash — $690 million — went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists.

Information about this vast private royalty complex is tightly held by NIH. My organization, OpenTheBooks.com, was forced to sue to uncover the royalties paid from September 2009 to October 2021, which amounted to $325 million over 56,000 transactions.

We had to sue a second time, with Judicial Watch as our counsel, to pry open this new release.

Payments skyrocketed during the pandemic era: those years saw more than double the amount of cash flow to NIH from the private sector, compared to the prior twelve combined. All told, it’s $1.036 billion.

It’s unclear if any of the Covid vaccine royalties from Pfizer and Moderna, the latter of which settled with NIH by agreeing to pay $400 million, is even included in these new numbers. NIH isn’t saying.

The American people have one last crack at getting some candor from Fauci, the face of our COVID response, when he testifies Monday before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

There’s plenty to answer for.

He’s spent years scoffing at questions about potential conflicts of interest between COVID policymakers, who relentlessly pushed vaccines, and recipients of private royalties.

Now he’ll also need to account for bombshell emails sent by one of his deputies, which described in-house strategies to circumvent the federal Freedom of Information Act.

Fauci won’t be able to misspell words to evade scrutiny or have folks physically courier messages — just two of the FOIA-avoiding actions described by Dr. David Morens, a key Fauci deputy.

Instead, cameras from around the world will be trained on Fauci and he’ll be answering for information he gave in a sworn deposition earlier this year.

It’s a chance to either come clean or further cement the public’s perception of him and the NIH as secretive and self-interested.

Beyond this small cabal of scientists covering up discussions of the virus’ origin, NIH has consistently treated FOIA requests like viral attacks of their own. No wonder, then, that we’re plaintiffs in six ongoing FOIA cases.

Characteristically, NIH is still redacting pieces of the data that would help us more easily connect therapeutics with their government-paid inventors. For example, they refuse to show us the amount of royalties paid to each individual scientist. So we still can’t entirely follow the money.

In the meantime, Sen. Rand Paul has sponsored the Royalty Transparency Act, which sailed unanimously through the committee process and deserves a floor vote immediately.

There’s plenty Fauci could do in the meantime, too. He could indicate he supports bills like Paul’s. He could call on NIH and CDC to voluntarily “unmask” the royalty payments. Then we could see whether their decisions have advanced the general welfare or their own.

Fauci could also support fixes to the FOIA law that create real consequences for those who purposely violate it.

At minimum, he must apologize for the utter contempt for FOIA, and the transparency war waged by his colleagues that’s now been revealed in private communications.

Among the government’s most basic duties to the public are providing for the general welfare and reporting its income and spending.

As Dr. Fauci wraps five decades in government having become its highest-paid bureaucrat, he should consider ticking those boxes again. For old times’ sake.

Interesting article. Trust me, I'm not closed-minded about the scandals and scams that went on during the pandemic. But how close to the top do you scrape into a hearing? Fauci is the top guy? Or the HMFIC who actually came out and said he takes "no responsiblity" for anything that went on back then? Why the fuck do you think he shouldn't have to answer for anything he did/didn't do? I'm all for Fauci being grilled, believe me, but let's spread the fun around.

What did Trump that was so wrong? Try to ignore the last name and be fair for a second about that.

He followed all the recommendations of these "experts." If he did anything wrong, it was not changing course and ignoring them.

If you think we are saying Fauci should be the only one prosecuted, you're fooling yourself.

Nor am I saying Trump should be even prosecuted, only that he should have to answer for his dumbassery during that time.

He won't though, because as was pointed out before, he stated unequivocally that he takes no responsibility for anything regarding how he handled COVID.

Let's start with suggesting looking into treating by ingesting disinfectant, to the point where the government had to put out a statement saying not to do so?

And before you dismiss that idiocy, imagine how up in arms you would be if Fauci had suggested that.

Members of the government used it for political and financial gain…especially if they owned the right Pharma stocks. Now the same thing is happening again but with microchips.

Trump was ill-equipped to handle the pandemic. No question. But to suggest it would have been much different with Clinton in there is pretty damn ridiculous.

Not only that but I can promise you they bought the right pharma stocks regardless right before. That's not even just a Democrat thing. That's on both sides and it's pretty fucking disgusting. That kind of shit would put a normal person in prison. Like absolutely put them in prison. But nope, these dopes don't have to play by those rules.

People were actually getting sick and dying, FFS. Yes, Fauci made some mistakes, and some bad ones at that. Many people did. The second-guessing by certain groups acting like they knew better all along is entertaining yet dangerous.
This was about control, not saving lives.

You really don’t believe cancelling things like church, graduations, funerals, etc.. while allowing protests (read:riots) was saving lives, do you?

The assertion that we didn't know what was going on back then is absurd to say the very least.

Especially when Walmart and Home Depot were allowed to stay open.
