"To Fauci:" Meaning - To Lie With Conviction From a Public Platform; Shrewdly Deceive the Public

Fauci Disavows Adviser Who Deleted Emails

Dr. Anthony Fauci disavowed a longtime senior adviser during a congressional hearing on June 3, saying the official violated federal rules by using personal email for official business and editing the press release of a government grantee.

Dr. David Morens’s title is a senior scientific adviser to the office of the director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Dr. Fauci was the director from 1984 through 2022.

Dr. Morens recently acknowledged to the U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that he deleted emails after unearthed messages showed him bragging about learning how to avoid the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). He also communicated frequently with Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth Alliance, which funneled NIAID grant money to a lab in China.

“I knew nothing of Dr. Morens’s actions regarding Dr. Daszak, EcoHealth, or his emails,” Dr. Fauci said. “It is important to point out for the record that, despite his title, and even though he was helpful to me in writing scientific papers, Dr. Morens was not an adviser to me on institute policy or other substantive issues.”

Dr. Fauci also said that Dr. Morens didn’t take part in regular meetings of NIAID leadership or of his immediate staff before agreeing that Dr. Morens violated federal rules by editing an EcoHealth statement, reaching out to the EcoHealth board on behalf of Mr. Daszak, and using personal email for official business.

Dr. Morens often spoke of talking with Dr. Fauci, including writing after the government paused the primary EcoHealth grant that “Peter, from Tony’s numerous recent comments to me, they are trying to protect you.”

“I never spoke about protecting him,” Dr. Fauci said. “I don’t know where he got that, but that’s not true.”

In another missive, Dr. Morens wrote: “I forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.”

Dr. Fauci said he might have spoken to Dr. Morens over personal email addresses about chapters they write for medical books.

“I do not do government business on my private email,” he said.

Members highlighted Dr. Morens’s actions and those of Greg Folkers, an aide to Dr. Fauci who used strange letter substitutions in an apparent bid to evade FOIA scrutiny.

“These men were among your most senior and trusted staff,” Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) said, pointing to email and calendar records.

“It is hard to believe that all of this occurred without your knowledge and/or approval,” he added.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said the actions showed a “troubling pattern of behavior from your inner circle.”

Democrats largely expressed support for Dr. Fauci and condemned what they described as GOP attacks against him.

“You and our top scientists did everything you could to keep Americans safe during the deadly days of COVID-19,” Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) said.

“The vast majority of Americans appreciate your work over the years,” she added.

Fauci Denies Trying to Suppress Lab Leak Theory

Dr. Fauci participated in a phone call on Feb. 1, 2020, that involved a number of outside scientists. Some of these scientists went on to author a paper stating that their analyses “clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

Dr. Fauci promoted the paper from the White House podium, contending that it showed the process for COVID-19 “is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.” He said he couldn’t remember who wrote the paper.

Kristian Andersen, one of the authors, said in an email acquired by the committee that Dr. Fauci “prompted” the paper, while co-authors mentioned in other messages that Jeremy Farrar, who first informed Dr. Fauci about COVID-19, helped edit the paper. Neither Dr. Fauci nor Mr. Farrar is credited.

Mr. Andersen, who initially said that COVID-19 looked engineered, went on to receive millions of dollars in funding from the NIAID.

“The accusation being circulated that I influenced these scientists to change their minds by bribing them with millions of dollars in grant money is absolutely false and simply preposterous. I had no input into the content of the published paper,” Dr. Fauci said in opening remarks on June 3.

After the call, he said, “It was decided that several participants would more carefully examine the genomic sequence.” They ended up concluding that “the most likely scenario was the spillover from an animal reservoir” and “they appropriately published their opinion in the peer reviewed literature.”

Dr. Fauci said he kept an open mind as to the origin of COVID-19, which to date is still undetermined.

Mr. Andersen previously said that his group’s work wasn’t “influenced by Dr. Fauci.”

Letter to the American Church | Documentary

 PREMIERING TONIGHT FEB 8, 7:00PM ET]

From New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas comes a riveting new film challenging audiences to take a stand, speak out, and take action in the face of evil. “Letter to the American Church” is a documentary adaptation of Metaxas latest book of the same name.
Eric guides audiences through the striking similarities between the church in Hitler’s early 1930’s Nazi Germany, the political regimes of Mao and Stalin, and modern day America and her church. The historical and present parallels are unavoidable and grim.
One man bravely and boldly spoke up in 1933 to warn the German church of the impending doom from the Nazi regime. His name was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The majority of the church of his time chose not to listen or take action, therefore Hitler continued his reign of terror, death, and destruction. For the last 100 years, Marxism and communism has continued to evolve and spread throughout nations, slowly and silently infiltrating America.
Join Eric along with Charlie Kirk, Dr. James Lindsey, John Amanchukwu, David Engelhardt, Rob McCoy, Seth Gruber, Victor and Eileen Marx and other leading voices in a movement that is sounding the alarm to a sleeping American church and God’s people everywhere.
Metaxas delivers a chilling clarion call to the Body of Christ to be modern day “Bonhoeffers”. If the church does not wake up from her slumber to clearly understand Marxist doctrine, the tactics that are used to manipulate her into compliance with it, the national and international leaders and corporations who are promoting it, and which direction America is headed in, we will most certainly experience the same fate of previous totalitarian regimes.
Audiences will see that silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Metaxas and his colleagues agree that this is the hour of the American church.

Was the Buffalo Bills Athlete's Heart Attack Related to the Mandatory Injection?

More Than 270 Deaths in US Athletes After Vaccination: Peer-Reviewed Letter

0:006:39

Over 270 athletes and former athletes in the United States have died from cardiac arrests or other serious issues after taking COVID-19 vaccines, according to data from a recent peer-reviewed letter to the editor.

Authored by structural biologist Panagis Polykretis, and board-certified internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, the letter’s cited data found that from 2021 to 2022, at least 1,616 cardiac arrests or other major medical issues have been globally documented in vaccinated athletes, with 1,114 of those being fatal.

The global data also showed that between 2021 to 2022, former and current American athletes made up 279 of the mortalities.

Athletes have a lower chance of cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death as compared to nonathletes. A 2016 U.S. study calculated that nonathletes, compared to athletes, have a 29 times higher chance of sudden cardiac death.

One of the reasons is because “athletes are screened out for the common causes of sudden death on the playing field,” McCullough told The Epoch Times.

Players are screened for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which makes up almost 50 percent of sudden cardiac deaths in athletes, as well as other less common heart abnormalities.

The intensive screening is what makes competitive-level sports safer than everyday sporting activities, McCullough argued.

Sudden Cardiac Deaths in Athletes Increased After Vaccination

McCullough pointed to a European study that tracked sudden cardiac deaths in European athletes over 38 years from 1966 to 2004. The study reported 1,101 sudden cardiac deaths over the interval, which Polykretis estimated would be around 29 deaths per year.

In the United States, it is estimated that 100 to 150 athletes die every year from sudden death.

The data cited in the letter, however, showed that in 2022 alone, over 190 deaths from cardiac arrests or other factors have been reported in current and former athletes.

This does not include the deaths of athletes with unknown vaccine statuses and those whose names did not make it into the media.

McCullough said looking at the data, “there’s no doubt,” that sudden cardiac deaths have increased following vaccinations.

However, since most of the sudden cardiac deaths in the media are of professional competitive players, McCullough added that collecting data from athletes in colleges, high schools, and other international leagues would give a more comprehensive picture.

He pointed to studies that have shown high myocarditis increases following COVID-19 vaccinations.

Prior to the pandemic, a 2017 study in Finland found that myocarditis rates were 19.5 per million for children 15 years of age and younger. Another 2012 Japanese study on pediatric admissions reported even lower rates of 2.6 cases per million in children aged 1 month to 17.

In the data released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention in June 2021 (pdf), researchers expected myocarditis rates in vaccinated 12- to 17-year-old males to be 63 cases per million. By the following year, researchers at the CDC noted that myocarditis numbers in young males were exceeding the background rates (pdf).

A study by researchers from Kaiser Permanente (pdf), published in August 2022, estimated myocarditis would be 186 cases out of a million, after a second dose of vaccine in 12- to 17-year-old children. In males, this number was raised to 377 cases out of a million.

However, in prospective studies, one Thai study found that 2.3 percent of children who received two shots of mRNA doses had a heart injury. Another study evaluated 777 health care workers who were boosted and 2.8 percent reported a heart injury.

This means that if the results are extrapolated, around 25,000 people per million could suffer from heart injuries after two or three doses of COVID-19 vaccinations, according to McCullough.

“I’m very concerned,” said McCullough, “This is a public health problem. I think it is incumbent upon individuals to disclose the vaccine status.”

“We see the report of public figures or athletes one after another, dying suddenly, with no explanation. It’s incumbent upon the families, the medical staff, the doctors, and the reporters to disclose the vaccine status. They are investigational vaccines, and they are linked to death in peer-reviewed studies.”

A German autopsy study evaluated 25 people who died unexpectedly within 20 days of being vaccinated. Four of the individuals were found with myocarditis without any other disease signal that may have caused the unexpected death.

The authors concluded that their autopsy studies indicated that deaths were due to cardiac failure, and that myocarditis could be “a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.”

It should also be noted that myocarditis events have also been reported in unvaccinated COVID-19 patients in 2020, and studies have shown that the virus can cause heart damage. But it is debatable if the heart injuries patients experience are caused by myocarditis or some other reasons.

study published in April 2022 found that increases in myocarditis and pericarditis are statistically insignificant among unvaccinated individuals after COVID infection. The researchers evaluated around 197,000 unvaccinated patients, and there were 9 and 11 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, respectively.

A French study that tracked cardiac arrests in athletes pre-pandemic from 2005 to 2018 also found that the rate of cardiac arrests in sports has remained constant, while survivability of these events has increased due to help from bystanders.
