Public Health: An Institution Lacking Integrity, Part II Covid Lies
I feel I must explain to my readers the lack of Substack articles this fall. As you can tell from the name of this Substack I have another full-time life passion unrelated to medicine. Ranching is in my blood and it often occupies my every waking moment outside of the practice of medicine. Each Fall would be such a time. Starting in late August we start calving 150-160 cows and first calf heifers. I weigh and tag each calf. Some days we get as many as 10 new babies. If one cow doesn’t do her job properly I must step in.
We also start our annual sale advertising campaign which requires pictures, videos etc. We perform entire herd health work as well as collect performance data on all the yearlings. With starting a new medical practice this year it became somewhat overwhelming. I will say that without the help of my wife, family and friends the wheels would completely fall off! With our upcoming annual Ginger Hill Real World Premiums bull and female sale on November 19th, we are heading down the homestretch and hope to publish more regular substack articles.
I would like to give credit where credit is due. This article was pretty much written and researched by my eldest daughter Amanda. Amanda has been the co-author on several of my substacks and as a rule I now run them by her for editing and input. Needless to say, I am tremendously proud of her and so very thankful for her passion for the truth and willingness to stand up, stand out and be heard for millions upon millions of people across our nation and the world! Thanks Amanda. I love you.
Public Health: An Institution Lacking Integrity, Part II
Covid Lies
“The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
As stated in the Covid Through My Eyes series published on this substack, witnessing the political, social, and public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years has been the biggest disappointment in my medical career; not because we got so many things wrong, but because our patients (and our doctors) were repeatedly lied to. While all the lies told by our media, public health organizations, and politicians are too numerous to discuss at length, below I have listed some that I have witnessed.
1. Masks Don’t Work… Nevermind, Yes They Do…
Many readers may recall that in a 60 minutes interview in March of 2020 (link), Dr. Fauci stated that “masks don’t work.” Later, in June of 2020, Dr. Fauci admitted that he lied, and stated that “the circumstances have changed,” and they were concerned that PPE were in short supply, and they wanted to make sure that health care workers had access to masks and other PPE. LINK He was right the first time: there is no evidence that masks reduce the spread of Covid-19.
2. The MRNA Vaccines will stay in your arm, and the spike protein will only last in your body up to a few weeks.
In early reports, public health officials, politicians and mainstream media encouraged populations to inject themselves with a novel gene therapy, that was rushed through trials, with assurances that the mRNA would stay close to the injection site (in the arm) and the pathologic spike protein would only actually stay in the body for a few weeks[1].
A video presentation given by Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist from Idaho, was the first I saw that debunked this lie[2]. As Dr. Cole stated, the spike protein from mRNA injection is not stored in the arm and then cleared by the body in a few weeks, rather these vaccines are being distributed throughout the body, to many major organs, including the testes and ovaries.
A recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics even shows that Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are even being found in breast milk[3].
3. If you get vaccinated, you can’t spread Covid-19.
CDC Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, publicly stated on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show, that “Vaccinated people do not carry the virus—they don’t get sick.” This lie was perpetuated by mainstream media and public health officials and was used to justify unconstitutional vaccine mandates. Readers will remember the constant pressure to get vaccinated. Unvaccinated persons were called “science deniers,” “grandma killers” and “selfish,” yet this claim that vaccination would prevent the spread of disease was blatantly untrue. Not only was it a lie, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, Janine Small, recently admitted that the vaccine had never been tested on its ability to prevent transmission, contrary to was previously advertised[4].
4. Covid-19 Vaccines are Safe and Effective.
Anyone who is paying attention knows this was a blatant lie. “Break through” infections in the vaccinated and boosted have now become the norm. Once it became obvious that these jabs were no longer preventing a recipient from catching or spreading Covid-19, the narrative shifted, and it was argued that the shots made it much less likely that you would suffer serious illness or death—but this too is baseless.
With regard to the safety of the clot shot, vaccine injuries are far too prevalent to ever assert that they are “safe” and include serious conditions such as myocarditis, stroke, blood clots, menstrual changes, loss of pregnancy, strange neurologic effects, and death. In fact, these serious side effects occur so frequently, that in October of 2021, the Swedish health agency said that it would stop administering the Moderna vaccine to anyone under the age of 30, due to its side effects. More recently, Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has advised men between the ages of 18-39 against getting an MRNA COVID-19 vaccine.[5]
A recent study also found that 1 in every 500 children under the age of 5 years old who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine was hospitalized with a vaccine injury. While the shot offers no benefit to healthy children, who are at virtually no risk of serious illness or death, these bad actors will not let facts or evidence prevent them from further lining their coffers. On October 2022, the CDC officially voted to add Covid-19 vaccines to the child immunization schedule. It is also worth noting that beginning in 2023, the price of these vaccines is expected to increase 3 to 4 times to $110 to $130 per dose.
5. Natural immunity is not as strong as Vaccine-induced immunity.
In March of 2020, in an interview with The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Dr. Fauci stated that:
We don’t know that for 100 percent certain, because we haven’t done the study to see rechallenges, whether they’ve been protected, but I feel really confident that if this virus acts like every other virus that we know, once you get infected, get better, clear the virus, that you’ll have immunity that will protect you against re-infection, so it’s never 100 percent, but I’d be willing to bet anything that people who recover are really protected against re-infection.[6]
This may be surprising, as for the next two and a half years, Dr. Fauci completely ignored naturally acquired immunity from previous infection and promoted the narrative that the only way to protect yourself (and your loved ones) was to get vaccinated.
* * * * *
As set forth above, the lies told to the American public were egregious, unethical, and numerous; one may simply ask, why? Why were safe drugs, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine villainized? Why was natural immunity discredited? Why were brilliant medical practitioners, virologists, pathologists, scientists and vaccinologists such a Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Ryan Cole disparaged? And why did the government, the CDC, the NIH, push an unproven vaccine on everyone? Simple: Money and Power.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10
It is a surprise to no one, that the pharmaceutical companies profited greatly from the pandemic. As of August 14, 2022, 64.7% of the world’s population has received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, 12.45 billion doses have been administered globally, and 6.26 million doses are now administered each day.[7]
Moderna, the pharmaceutical company that makes one of the three vaccines authorized for use in the United States, was founded in 2010 with the goal of bringing RNA-related products to market. “Its only commercial product is the Covid vaccine, for which the U.S. government provided $1 billion to support design and testing.”[8] Moderna’s valuation topped $100 billion in the summer of 2021. In 2021, Moderna had $13 billion in pre-tax profits. “That comes to $36m a day throughout 2021, giving Moderna a profit margin of around 70 percent.”[9]
As shown in the above graphic[10], Pfizer’s gross profit for 2021 increased 52.16% from 2020. Pfizer’s gross profit for the twelve (12) months ending in June 30, 2022, had increased 60.46%, year-over-year. It is without a doubt that these increased profits are largely due to the COVID-19 vaccine.
While it is obvious, that the vaccine manufacturers made money on the clot shot, that doesn’t explain why public health organizations pushed these vaccines. Unfortunately, the CDC, NIH, and other “public health” boards have been in bed with Big Pharma for quite some time. In 1983, Congress authorized the CDC to accept “external gifts” from industry and private parties[11]; specifically, Section 231 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 238)[12] authorizes acceptance of unconditional and conditional gifts “…for the benefit of the Public Health Service or for the carrying out of any of its functions.”[13] In fiscal year 2014, the CDC Foundation raised $52 million, $12 million of which was from Big Pharma. Also in 2014, the CDC received $16 million in direct funding from corporations, individuals and foundations, including the CDC Foundation.[14]
Recent information obtained from Freedom of Information Act requests also show that the talking heads that appeared on our television screens for the past two and a half years, also received funding --from 2009-2014, Dr. Anthony Fauci and former NIH director Francis Collins both received royalty payments from pharmaceutical companies.[15] From the report, it was estimated that “between fiscal years 2010 and 2020, more than $350 million in royalties were paid by third-parties to the agency and NIH scientists – who are credited as co-inventors.”[16]
These royalty payments may explain why Francis Collins and Dr. Fauci tried to publicly “take-down” the Great Barrington Declaration, and it denounce its authors[18] (See Covid 19, Through My Eyes- The Takedown (substack.com)). It might also explain why Dr. Fauci flip-flopped on what the “science” said, based upon what was most beneficial to him in the moment.
While this substack highlights just a few of Dr. Fauci’s lies (many of the others are explained further in Covid through my eyes Parts 2, 4, and 5), he seems to have an inflated sense of his own integrity. According to Dr. Fauci, “people go to medical school” because he symbolizes truth, consistency, and integrity, which he describes as the “Fauci effect”[19]
While “hindsight is 20/20”, I believe that many so many errors, so much time, and taxpayer money could have been saved if only the government, mainstream media, and public health officials would have allowed a dialogue. However, they actively prohibited it. On July 16, 2021, White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki told reporters that the Biden Administration is in “regular touch with the social media platforms” about misinformation and disinformation related to COVID-19, and that it is “flagging problematic posts for Facebook.” This regular contact included secret meetings between White House personnel and Twitter employees, wherein government officials encouraged the social media website to ban Alex Berenson, a vocal critic of the Covid-19 vaccines.[20]
As Senator Josh Hawley stated in his correspondence to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey “this casual admission of collusion—between the state and corporations that have monopolized the flow of information and therefore dictate the terms of service for the public square—is shocking.”[21]
Now that the truth has been revealed to be what was once considered “misinformation” the CDC, NIH and social media conglomerates have been silent. Of course they have not apologized to the doctors, scientists, and journalists that they labeled as conspiracy theorists, quacks, and spreaders of disinformation. Rather they quietly remove references to previous lies from their websites (hoping that we will forget and they can deny any wrongdoing), and continue to censor those who speak out against them, including Dr. Peter McCullough, who has recently been banned from Twitter for Covid “Misinformation”.
* * * * *
In a time when words are “violence,” it is both disturbing and unsurprising that the lies of our government health agencies, politicians, and woke corporate media, which resulted in a harm which is not yet quantifiable, continue without penalty or justice. Do not let those in power gaslight the public rewrite history to diminish their corruption and errors. Our only recourse is to speak up, to demand the freedom of expression of dissenting opinions, without censorship.
“The opposite of courage is not cowardice; it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.”
-Jim Hightower
Since Amanda penned this Substack it has become known that Dr Peter A. McCullough was recently stripped of his board certifications in internal medicine and Cardiology after decades of distinguished service. Peter is the author of 677 articles published in the scientific peer-reviewed journals. He is a world renowned and respected cardiologist who has had the courage to stand up and fight for open discussion and exchange of scientific information. He has sacrificed a tremendous amount to speak the truth about Covid 19 and governmental policies. This is another example of the dark times we are facing and the all-out war against the sacred doctor patient relationship. The message is clear, follow the official narrative or be severely punished. It won’t end until enough people have the courage to say no more!
