The COVID Response. What We Got Wrong.

 Part XIII: The Backtracking Speeds Up 

Almost every week since I began writing this series, there has been some revelation in the mainstream media about what the CDC got wrong about COVID. None of them admits to being a part of the three-year-long campaign of misinformation and downright lies. Instead, they report on the new revelations as if they are news.

For anyone like me that’s been following the story since the beginning, the naïveté of their posture is evident. The “facts” that were so widely reported and defended throughout the lockdown were either suspicious or evidently illogical and/or impossible back then. The media didn’t inquire about them because they didn’t want to. They were supporting a political narrative that needed false facts. And so began a partnership between the CDC, the left-leaning pols, and the reporters that promoted them.

What’s New 

What’s new this week is that Fauci is admitting what he, his health tsars, the CDC, Pfizer, and Moderna knew all along: The vaccines didn’t work. They didn’t stop the spread of the virus.

He is among a growing number of officials acknowledging that the vaccines were never even tested for efficacy. There wasn’t time. The CDC went ahead and approved them for use in the market. And the US government took this one step further by mandating their use, without any idea of the complications they would cause.

“Vaccines against both COVID-19 and influenza have deficiencies,” Dr. Fauci and top officials of the NIH said in a paper published last week. Even worse, they said, the vaccines are “suboptimal” and are no better at stopping COVID than the ordinary flu vaccines that we’ve been getting for decades.

“With the imperfections of these vaccines, it seems a public health imperative to aggressively pursue better vaccines and vaccination strategies,” they added later, before acknowledging that “none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses,” such as COVID-19, “have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines.”

“That is just an amazing admission,” said David Wiseman, a former Johnson & Johnson scientist, last week.

“Numerous federal officials are quietly trying to walk back their lies and obfuscations from earlier in the pandemic,” Dr. Meryl Nass, an expert on vaccines, recently told The Epoch Times.
