Many in America's government, along with those in the highly profitable pharmaceutical industry, insisted at the time, and some even insist, that COVID-19 was a natural variation of a bat virus that came out of a Wuhan, China, "wet market" and infected people.
Ultimately, millions of people around the world died, and trillions of dollars were lost economically. Even now, the side effects of the often-injurious mRNA shots are harming people, with consequences such as heart failure.
The government at that time, as President Donald Trump's first term was ending and Joe Biden was taking over White House operations, claimed that only the new shots could be used, that other medications like hydroxychloroquine, which was proven effective against COVID, should not be allowed.
One of the results was billions of dollars going to the makers of the new shots.
But now the White House has exploded the COVID myths pushed by officials and authorities with a new report.
It states bluntly that:
"The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics, where there were multiple spillover events. Wuhan is home to China's foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels. Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market. By nearly all measures of science, if there were evidence of a natural origin, it would have already surfaced. But it hasn't."
Further, much of the so-called "science" that was used to justify the theory that it came from a wet market, rather than the much more likely leak from the Wuhan lab, came from a report, "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," a document the White House charges "was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory."
It actually was "prompted" by Anthony Fauci, now retired from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The report confirms, "A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19. Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability."
Further pointing to the lab, the report said, "EcoHealth — under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak — used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. After the Select Subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) commenced official debarment proceedings and suspended all funding to EcoHealth. New evidence also shows that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into EcoHealth's pandemic-era activities."
It's also because of failures by the National Institutes of Health, "NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security. Further, NIH fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record-keeping laws…"
The information has taken years to surface because of multiple layers of "obstruction," the report charges.
"The Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi-year campaign of delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness in an attempt to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials. It appears that HHS even intentionally under-resourced its component that responds to legislative oversight requests," the White House page charges.
Also, "Daszak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and pace of productions, and doctoring documents before releasing them to the public. Further, Dr. Daszak provided false statements to Congress."
That agenda was aided by David Morens, a senior adviser to Fauci, who, the statement charges, "deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation, likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth President Dr. Peter Daszak."
The details provided by the White House were sourced from the "House Oversight Committee website, a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability in the U.S. House of Representatives."
It continued with blame for others, including the World Health Organization, which is charged with its "abject failure" to respond, "because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its international duties. Further, the WHO's newest effort to solve the problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — via a 'Pandemic Treaty' — may harm the United States."
That infamous "social distancing" requirement to keep six feet apart? It "sort of just appeared," according to Fauci's closed-door testimony, and was based on no science at all, but still was used to "shut down schools and small businesses across the country."
Also, "There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. Public health officials flip-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust."
And there were those lockdowns, which not only "forced millions of Americans to forgo crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life," but also "caused immeasurable harm to … the mental and physical health of Americans."
Case in point was New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's orders that forced nursing homes to accept seniors who had tested positive for COVID-19, and who were put in populations where the virus could be spread.
That was, the report confirms, "medical malpractice."
"Evidence shows that Mr. Cuomo and his administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of their policy decisions in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability."
Oddly, Fauci, whose net worth grew by millions of dollars during the pandemic, was given a presidential pardon by Joe Biden before his term in the White House ended. It was "for any offenses" that he "may have committed" against the United States.
