Vindicated? Patel’s FBI uncovers apparent Chinese communist plot to rig 2020 mail-in vote for Biden

In a New York Times magazine interview published on June 1, 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr acknowledged that the Department of Justice was concerned that “there are a number of foreign countries that could easily make counterfeit ballots, put names on them, send them in.”

Weeks later, President Donald Trump tweeted: “RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!”

Election officials, Democrats, and the liberal media were quick to suggest that such claims weren’t just “unfounded” — they were “preposterous.”

Like the American liberal establishment, these strategic dismissals have not aged well.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Monday that the bureau located intelligence reports from August 2020 that detail “alarming allegations” regarding an apparent Chinese communist plot to interfere in the presidential election for the benefit of then-candidate Joe Biden.

Nearly as damning as the allegations was their alleged cover-up by elements of the intelligence community ahead of the election.

Patel told Just the News that the newly declassified documents “include allegations of plans from the [Chinese Communist Party] to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on July 27, 2020, that between Jan. 1 and June 30 of that election year, CBP officers at the International Mail Facility at Chicago O’Hare International Airport had seized 1,513 shipments containing fraudulent documents, including 19,888 counterfeit U.S. drivers’ licenses.

“The majority of these shipments were arriving from China and Hong Kong, with other seized shipments arriving from Great Britain and South Korea,” noted CBP.

The licenses were mostly intended for college-age students across various states. In many cases, the barcode attached to the licenses actually worked. It’s unclear whether some of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese students at universities across the country or some of the nearly 400,000 Chinese illegal aliens were the intended recipients.

“These fraudulent identity documents can lead to identity theft, worksite enforcement, critical infrastructure protection, fraud linked to immigration-related crimes such as human smuggling and human trafficking, and these documents can be used by those individuals associated with terrorism to minimize scrutiny from travel screening measures,” added CBP.

Officials who have seen the newly declassified documents told Just the News that a confidential source provided the FBI with information in summer 2020 indicating that the Chinese communist regime was mass-producing fake American drivers’ licenses in order to create voter identities for Chinese nationals so that they could vote with fake mail-in ballots.

The goal was apparently to help Biden beat Trump.

An intelligence official indicated that despite the gravity of the allegations, the intel report was recalled after just a few weeks and the allegations never fully explored.

‘It was a deliberate effort by the Intelligence Community to hide these facts from the public.’

The reason given was that the confidential source needed to be re-interviewed. However, it appears politics may have informed the decision.

The intelligence community’s then-analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf indicated in a report on a number of election security intelligence issues that “China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the [Trump] Administration’s policies, saying in effect, ‘I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.'”

In a Jan. 7, 2021, memo, then-DNI and current CIA Director John Ratcliffe directed the attention of senators on the Select Committee on Intelligence to how the ombudsman found that “CIA Management took actions ‘pressuring [analysts] to withdraw their support’ from the alternative viewpoint on China ‘in an attempt to suppress it. This was seen by National Intelligence Officers as politicization,’ and I agree.”

Ratcliffe went on to defend Christopher Porter — the former national intelligence officer for cyber at the National Intelligence Council, who led the U.S. intelligence community’s analysis of threats to American elections — for refusing to back down from flagging the threat of Chinese election interference. Contrary to the supposed majority view, Porter apparently maintained that “China took at least some steps to undermine former President Trump’s reelection chances.”

Porter, who expressed his gratitude on Tuesday that Patel “is standing up for the truth senior Intelligence Community leaders conspired to hide,” claimed that the CIA and senior leadership at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence harassed him and drove him out of the building when he said that China had interfered in 2020.

“Just remember, this wasn’t an oversight: it was a deliberate effort by the Intelligence Community to hide these facts from the public so President Trump couldn’t defend his campaign for reelection,” added Porter.

The ombudsman took pains to explain that “due to varying collection and insight into hostile state actors’ leadership intentions and domestic election influence campaigns, the definitional use of the terms ‘influence’ and ‘interference’ and associated confidence levels are applied differently by the China and Russia analytic communities.”

Zulauf suggested further that the difference in application of these analytic terms led to “differences in the volume, frequency, and confidence levels of the intelligence coming from the China and Russia analytic communities,” though they were “very similar in their potential effects.”

In his report, Zulauf found that “there were attempts to politicize intelligence.”

Zulauf referred to several examples, “the most egregious” of which was delivered by National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director Bill Evanina on March 10, 2020. Evanina delivered remarks that were construed as the opinion of the IC, yet analysts called the introductory statement and talking points a “gross misinterpretation” of the IC’s views.

The ombudsman also highlighted “what appears to be politically motivated editing” of a May 2020 National Intelligence Council Memo in what he described as one example of “the overall pattern of perceived politicization.”

Then-National Intelligence Chair Christopher Kojm, who later ended up on Biden’s presidential transition Agency Review Team, “crafted the language” of the memo, which reportedly “led with intelligence gaps and ‘buried the lead’ regarding what the IC does know about election security threats.”

“The result was a final product whose delayed publication meant it diverged sharply from the up-to-date IC view communicated in other product lines,” wrote Zulauf. “I have e-mail exchanges to document this delay, allusions to political repercussions, and frustration from intelligence professionals with the delay.”

“NIC officials pointed to ODNI senior officials as intervening in the changes to conclusions, saying that they were overly sensitive to political customers who saw the dissonance between China and Russia reporting and the inconsistent application of definitions,” added Zulauf.

The alleged cover-up of the Chinese election fraud plot appears to be par for the course within what the ombudsman referred to as this “hyper partisan state” of play.

It appears this narrative curation ultimately proved successful.

In March 2021, the National Intelligence Council released an assessment report stating with high confidence that “China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election.”

‘They should be investigating and getting this ready for prosecution.’

The report noted further that the intelligence community had “no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 US elections, including voter registration, casting ballots, vote tabulation, or reporting results.”

Patel told Just the News he declassified the intel documents pertaining to the August 2020 intel report and provided them to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for further review.

The news of the documents’ location and declassification was well received by a number of Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (Fla.), who stated, “America needs to wake up. Trump is NOT the enemy, it’s the CCP.”

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, suggested to Blaze News that “a limited disclosure to Congress is not sufficient.”

“They’re the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” continued Howell. “They should be investigating and getting this ready for prosecution.”

Blaze News reached out to the ODNI and the White House but did not immediately receive responses. When pressed for comment, the FBI referred Blaze News to Patel’s post on X.

Elections

June 15, 2025 2020 election

This conservative fix — without protections — could help Democrats rig elections

Conservatives across the country are building momentum to clean up elections. Donald Trump’s proposals call for paper ballots, voter ID, and in-person voting on Election Day only. These reforms would mark a major improvement over the chaotic 2020 election — when Joe Biden somehow received more votes than any presidential candidate in history.

But tightening election procedures also risks reviving an old Democratic trick: voter suppression.

The inability to print a ballot is ultimately no different than a refusal to provide a ballot to a voter. It is voter suppression.

In an ideal system, voting would happen exclusively on paper ballots and in person. No mail-ins. No drop boxes. ID required.

However, to counter suppression efforts in Republican precincts, polls should remain open for several days — perhaps even a full week. Extending in-person voting would allow voters to push back against the tactics designed to keep them home.

I am well aware of how voter suppression works because I have the scars to prove it. When I started voting in Travis County (Austin), Texas, in the 1980s, ballot suppression in Republican precincts was an established protocol by the Democrats who ran the county. The strategy was two-pronged:

Insufficient voting booths: Conservative precincts were provided very few voting booths, causing extremely long lines. I watched many people drive up, look at the line, then drive away. Many other would-be voters already in line would finally give up and forgo voting. While my precinct had four or five booths, I’d later watch the evening news show Democratic precincts outfitted with dozens.

Ballot shortages: It was a predictable occurrence that Republican precincts would run out of ballots before the polls closed due to “unexpectedly” high turnout. Those in line could either wait for hours until someone showed up with “provisional” ballots, or they could give up. Most people would not wait in line until 10 p.m. just to cast a vote.

Not enough ballots

I was in the habit of voting first thing in the morning on Election Day to ensure I got a ballot. Even though the wait was long due to the bottleneck caused by so few voting booths, I would at least get my vote in. But the ballot I cast also resulted in a missing ballot for someone else trying to vote later in the day, as Democratic officials who ran the county made sure that there were fewer ballots than voters in my precinct.

The county elections administrator always had an excuse for the ballot shortages in Republican precincts. She’d cite a local statute that required her to allocate ballots based on average county turnout. Since Republican precincts had higher voter turnout than the county as a whole, shortages were guaranteed — by design.

When early voting finally came about several years later, I was thrilled. I was tired of battling my own county officials just to cast a Republican vote.

Decades later, these tactics are still in use.

The recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election, for example, drew national attention because the outcome could affect midterm Congressional redistricting, which could then swing control of the U.S. House of Representatives from Republican to Democrat.

On Election Day in Milwaukee, 69 of its 180 precincts reported ballot shortages, and nine precincts ran out of ballots completely. Milwaukee’s top election official offered a familiar excuse: Ballots were printed based on past turnout. But voter participation surged to 50%, far above normal for a spring election. It was “unexpected.”

Some conservatives pushing for same-day voting likely haven’t considered that those in charge of ballot preparation might simply not provide enough.

Ballot printing — or lack thereof

Another method of voter suppression involves ballot printing. If the printer “breaks,” there’s no ballot to cast. This tactic has benefited Democrats in recent elections, such as in Phoenix, Arizona’s Maricopa County, and Texas’ Harris County.

In the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, Republican Kari Lake narrowly lost by 17,000 votes out of 2.5 million counted ballots. Long lines due to printer problems caused many Arizonans to give up and leave before voting. Moreover, thousands of ballots that were printed could not be read by ballot-counting machines.

Similarly, in the 2022 gubernatorial election in Texas, printer problems prevented many voters in Republican precincts around Houston from being able to obtain a ballot. As reported by the Houston Chronicle, a few days after the election, “More than a dozen voting locations in Harris County ran out of the paper used to print ballots in voting machines Tuesday, county officials confirmed. Some sites, poll workers and voters said, had no ballots on hand for one to two hours.”

“From our standpoint, it seems there was an attempt to make sure there were not enough ballots at Republican polls,” the chairman of the Harris County GOP told the Chronicle. The inability to print a ballot is ultimately no different than a refusal to provide a ballot to a voter. It is voter suppression.

Ample ballots, ample booths

If we are going to use all-paper ballots, states need to mandate that each precinct open on Election Day with enough printed ballots for every registered voter. Any unused ballots must be destroyed after polls close to protect election integrity.

There also must be enough voting booths to ensure that long lines don’t become a voting deterrent.

Personally, I’d prefer that in-person, paper ballot voting be allowed over several days to ensure that Democrats cannot engage in Election Day voter suppression tactics. One suppressed Republican ballot carries the same weight as one fraudulent Democratic vote stuffed in a ballot box.

RFK Jr.’s revenge: CDC vaccine board FIRED after years of COVID lies

RFK Jr.’s revenge: CDC vaccine board FIRED after years of COVID lies

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just pulled one of his boldest moves yet under the Trump administration and fired the CDC’s vaccine advisory board after removing COVID shots from children’s and pregnant women’s vaccine schedules.

“This is the first true consequence that I think we have seen,” BlazeTV host Steve Deace says on “Blaze News I The Mandate,” noting that “almost every major health care policy position” in Trump’s administration has gone to “some form of COVID scamdemic skeptic.”

“The nomination of RFK Jr. as secretary of HHS, guys, might be the closest we’re ever going to get in America to a tribunal on what happened during that period of time. And now, this is the closest thing to real consequences — people losing their jobs — that we have seen,” he continues.

The CDC vaccine advisory board in question has existed for decades and, according to Deace, has “never once found that a single vaccine was unsafe.”

“Now, just to put this in some context … Moderna, as a company, for over a decade tried to bring a singular product to market but was never able to do it one time, until the COVID vaccine,” he explains.

“So somehow, somehow they were unable to harness this mRNA technology for over a decade to successfully bring one, not even a single product to market one time, and yet, under the gun, the pressure of a once-in-a-century pandemic, they pulled it off,” he continues.

“We’re talking about a panel that at least 25 years did not find one single shot unsafe, including the COVID vaccines. So that just kind of gives you an idea of who this panel is,” he adds.

Patel’s ‘breakthrough’ in COVID origins probe spells trouble for Fauci — especially if his pardon is voided

Patel’s ‘breakthrough’ in COVID origins probe spells trouble for Fauci — especially if his pardon is voided

FBI Director Kash Patel revealed to the eponymous host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” in the episode published Friday that the bureau “just had a great breakthrough” regarding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a matter into which the FBI apparently has multiple ongoing investigations.

The FBI director noted that this “breakthrough” specifically has to do with Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases whom the White House has accused of helping cover up the likely lab origins of COVID-19 and whose name Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and congressional investigators recently batted around when discussing lies about gain-of-function research.

Patel noted that the FBI long sought the phones and devices Fauci used while he was serving in the first Trump administration during the pandemic, “and nobody had found it — till two days ago.”

While the director cautioned Rogan and his audience from jumping “to the conclusion [that] everything’s in there,” he said the bureau will “look at it, we’ll pull it — we’ll rip it, as we say.”

Patel intimated that where potentially incriminating material is concerned, “maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not, but at least we found it.”

When asked about the potential significance of the discovery of such devices and what investigators should look for, molecular biologist Dr. Richard H. Ebright of Rutgers University, a leading critic of Fauci’s flirtations with gain-of-function research, told Blaze News, “Fauci violated federal policies on gain-of-function and enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research, committed conspiracy to defraud and perjury, used federal funds to commit crimes, and caused and covered up the cause of a pandemic that killed 20 million and cost $25 trillion.”

The World Health Organization claims that there have been cumulatively over 7 million reported COVID-19 deaths. However, the Economist’s machine-learning model estimated that the total number of excess deaths globally is two to four times higher than the reported number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths, which could the put deaths far in excess of 20 million souls.

Blaze Media

Ebright was among the prominent scientists who last year sought accountability over efforts to cure the origin narrative and demanded the retraction of “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2,” published by Nature Medicine on March 17, 2020 — a consequential paper that Fauci not only allegedly commissioned and approved but used on multiple occasions to push the zoonotic origin theory.

“If files relevant to Fauci’s roles in causing COVID and covering up the cause of COVID are recoverable from Fauci’s phones or devices, those files could be of value in documenting the cause and the cover-up and in prosecuting persons culpable for the cause and the cover-up,” Ebright told Blaze News. “Examples of relevant files would include files documenting Fauci’s correspondence with scientists whose research caused COVID, correspondence with scientists, science administrators, and other federal agency officials who helped Fauci cover up the cause of COVID, and correspondence documenting Fauci’s use of non-government email accounts and phone lines for government business.”

The FBI told Blaze News it had no further comment beyond what Director Patel said on the podcast.

‘Clearly he was being deceptive.’

Rogan asked Patel whether the pardons doled out in former President Joe Biden’s name would spare Fauci from accountability over his misleading claim to Congress that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

There is, after all, a great deal of interest in Congress in holding Fauci accountable over his apparent lie to Congress in 2021 that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research.

For instance, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Matt Kibbe, the host of BlazeTV’s docuseries “The Coverup,” that he had referred Fauci to the Department of Justice for prosecution three times over his statements.

“We’ve detailed his lies to Congress, which are a felony. I’ve sort of tragically and jokingly said, ‘If he were a member of the Trump administration, he would have been arrested long ago.’ Because I think we have two standards of justice,” Paul told Kibbe. “He certainly seems to be protected.”

“Clearly he was being deceptive,” Rogan said to Patel. “Are they pardoned for that as well? ‘Cause it was like this crazy blanket pardon from 2014 forward, which I didn’t even know you could do.”

On Jan. 20, Fauci received a “full and unconditional” pre-emptive pardon for possible federal crimes going back to Jan. 1, 2014 — around the time the Obama administration supposedly halted funding for dangerous gain-of-function research.

“So I’m the investigator. So that would be a decision for the Department of Justice,” said Patel. “We’ll work it up and we’ll say, ‘This is what we found,’ and then legal minds will have to come in and chop on, ‘Does this pardon apply or not?'”

While Fauci may presently enjoy an immunity shield from prosecution on account of his last-minute pardon, that pardon now faces a great deal of scrutiny.

President Donald Trump declared in March that the pardons were “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.”

DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin announced last month that he is reviewing the questionable “autopen” pardons issued in the final days of the Biden White House, noting that they “need some scrutiny.” The House Oversight Committee is also investigating autopen use in the Biden White House.

Even if Fauci’s pardon holds up, information gleaned by the FBI from the alleged devices could possibly be used in legal actions taken at the state level.

In February, over 16 state attorneys general launched an investigation into Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, “demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate.”

The state AGs underscored in their letter to Congress that the “pardon by former President Biden does not extend to preclude state-level investigations or legal proceedings.”

CDC knew the COVID jab was dangerous — and pushed it anyway

CDC knew the COVID jab was dangerous — and pushed it anyway

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) dropped a bombshell last week about what the Biden administration knew — and covered up — about the dangers of the COVID shot. His roundtable featured Dr. Peter McCullough, arguably the country’s leading cardiologist and a frequent guest on my show since the pandemic fell upon the land in 2020.

Let’s talk about what they exposed — starting with VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. VAERS came out of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which gave pharmaceutical companies legal immunity for vaccine-related injuries. In exchange, the government created a “self-reporting” database where anyone could report adverse events. But good luck using it. The interface often crashed or timed out, forced users to restart from scratch, and made tracking real harms nearly impossible.

Far too many Americans can only see COVID in the rearview mirror now, when they should still be seeing it in their nightmares and demanding severe justice.

That wasn’t a bug. It was the point.

A Harvard Medical Review study concluded more than 25 years ago that VAERS undercounted adverse events by a factor of 100. The CDC knew it. During COVID, instead of fixing VAERS, the CDC quietly built a separate system — V-safe — to track mRNA shot outcomes. It compiled peer-to-peer data from over 10 million Americans. The CDC buried those results until Del Bigtree and the Informed Consent Action Network forced the release through a lawsuit.

What did V-safe show? Eight percent of people who got the COVID jab suffered an adverse event requiring medical attention — from checkups to death. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a scandal. The United States has pulled vaccines from the market for far smaller complication rates. Meanwhile, the Biden administration forced this shot on everyone — including healthy kids — while knowing it was more dangerous to them than the virus itself.

Remember the wall-to-wall propaganda campaigns pushing the jab? Did any of them warn you about the 8% of recipients who suffered serious side effects? No. Were you offered a real choice based on your age, health status, or risk profile? Or were you coerced — by a toxic blend of government, corporations, and media lies — into rolling up your sleeve?

We all know the answer.

That’s not just manipulation. That’s a crime. The CDC’s own data from the height of the pandemic showed that only 2% of COVID cases required hospitalization. Yet polls showed Democrats believed the number was 25%. That disconnect didn’t happen by accident. It was manufactured. A psychological operation convinced Americans that the shot was the only way out, even though the jab carried a four times greater risk of harm than the virus itself — before even factoring in age or comorbidities.

Younger, healthier Americans faced almost no threat from COVID. They weren’t told that either. They had to find out on shows like mine.

By spring 2022, the final infection fatality rate was in. Just 0.5% for the elderly. For children and teens (ages 0-19)? A microscopic 0.003%. But the government shut down schools, crushed businesses, and destroyed lives — all while pushing an experimental shot with exponentially higher risks.

No one but MSNBC viewers would have lined up for this poison if they’d known the truth. But platforms like YouTube, the largest video site on the planet, actively censored anyone who tried to sound the alarm. That included me — and brave doctors like McCullough — who were banned for speaking plainly about early treatments and adverse events.

Instead, they stuck ventilators down people’s throats while TikTok nurses danced for clout.

So will anyone ever pay for this disaster before the spike proteins strike midnight? Or are exploding hearts, turbo cancers, and collapsing fertility rates just the price we pay for compliance?

Far too many Americans can only see COVID in the rearview mirror now, when they should still be seeing it in their nightmares and demanding severe justice.

The EXPLOSION of myocarditis: Dr. Peter McCullough’s bombshell vaccine testimony

In a Senate hearing this week about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, Dr. Peter McCullough detailed his experience as a cardiologist — and after the shots, it’s not a good one.

“The topic today is myocarditis or heart damage from the COVID-19 vaccines. I’m a cardiologist. I know the topic well. I’ve examined thousands of patients with this problem — thousands. Before the pandemic, I had two patients ever with this problem,” McCullough testified.

“There’s 1,065 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on COVID vaccine myocarditis, so let me summarize them for you,” McCullough continued. “The first author is Verma and colleagues. New England Journal of Medicine. Forty-two-year-old man comes into Washington University Hospital with vaccine myocarditis.”

“The infection is ruled out; it’s the vaccine. He’s in the hospital. This is one of the best hospitals in the United States. He died three days after taking Moderna. They can’t save him in the hospital,” he explains.

McCullough went on to tell of another, younger man who died within eight hours of being in the hospital after his COVID-19 shot.

“I can tell you, I’m a cardiologist — that doesn’t even happen with heart attacks. He dies within eight hours. I examined all of the slides,” he says, “It looked like somebody took a blowtorch to that heart, it was so completely fried with inflammation.”

“These cases, which were widely known at the time, should have gotten everyone’s attention. Everyone should have been laser-focused on this. We should never have someone die after taking a vaccine,” he added.

“Well, you’re not supposed to ask yourself, ‘What is going on?’” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“You’re not supposed to,” he adds.

Biden admin covered up potentially deadly COVID vaccine side effects for months: Senate report

Biden admin covered up potentially deadly COVID vaccine side effects for months: Senate report

A Senate report claims that President Joe Biden’s administration was aware for months about heart issues stemming from COVID-19 vaccines and purposely withheld the information from the public.

A report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said government officials knew as early as February 2021 about the harmful side effects but waited until June to inform the public of the inherent dangers.

‘The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men.’

The report revealed that U.S. health officials “knew about the risks” the vaccines carried related to myocarditis, inflammation of heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the fibrous sac surrounding the heart, but “downplayed the health concern” and “delayed informing the public about the risk.”

The report, first obtained by the Daily Wire, showed that the U.S. government ignored warnings from several sources.

In February 2021, U.S. entities were notified of adverse effects by the Israeli Ministry of Health, as the country rolled out vaccines faster than America did. Still, CDC officials declined to make public the “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine.”

It is unclear whether the Israeli government made an effort to notify the public, either.

That same month, a CDC official who co-led the Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group emailed her colleagues about 19,536 vaccine adverse event reports (through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) that included 980 deaths after vaccination.

“Where known, the cause of death was often cardiovascular,” the report read.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told the Daily Wire that the Biden administration did not want to increase “vaccine hesitancy” by reporting the side effects openly.

“But in being concerned about that, they violated the inviolable principle of informed consent,” Johnson told the outlet. “The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men, as early as February [2021].”

In May 2021, the CDC omitted information from its “clinical considerations” on its website that advised doctors to restrict patients with myocarditis from “rigorous activity like competitive sports for at least 3 months.”

The report also said that in June 2021, the White House distributed talking points to U.S. health officials “downplaying the risk of myocarditis.”

“The depths of depravity of this cover-up keep getting deeper. They knew about vaccine side effects early on but withheld that information as they continued to push emergency use authorization even as young people were dying,” BlazeTV’s Matt Kibbe said about the report.

Kibbe added, “This scandal is ultimately about self-dealing between government bureaucrats and pharmaceutical companies, who all had financial incentives to bury the truth and keep pushing the vaccines.”

NIH staffers storm out as Bhattacharya delivers reality bombshell about COVID origin

NIH staffers storm out as Bhattacharya delivers reality bombshell about COVID origin

National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya hosted his first staff town hall on Monday.

The event, held on the NIH’s main campus in Bethesda, Maryland, was packed with nearly 500 attendees and even more individuals tuning in online to watch Bhattacharya answer some of the 1,200 submitted questions, Science reported.

‘If it’s true that we sponsored research that caused the pandemic, and if you look at polls of the American people, that’s what most people believe.’

Yet when Bhattacharya attempted to answer a question about the origin of the COVID-19 outbreak, many staffers fled the room in apparent protest.

Ahead of his response, Bhattacharya noted that some of those attending the event would likely disagree with his perspective.

“It’s possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings. And it’s also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research,” Bhattacharya told the crowd.

He appeared to pause as dozens of NIH staffers stood up and left the room.

“It’s nice to have free speech. You’re welcome, you guys,” he said, apparently addressing the protesters.

Some attendees who remained responded with applause.

Bhattacharya continued, “If it’s true that we sponsored research that caused the pandemic, and if you look at polls of the American people, that’s what most people believe. And I’ve looked at the scientific evidence I believe in.”

“What we have to do is make sure that we do not engage in research that’s posing any risk to any human populations,” he added.

Anything else?

A Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee’s minority staff report drafted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) claimed that President Donald Trump’s administration had “effectively” slashed the NIH’s budget by $2.7 billion in the first three months of the year.

“Trump’s war on science is an attack against anyone who has ever loved someone with cancer,” Sanders said. “The American people do not want us to slash cancer research in order to give more tax breaks for billionaires.”

The Department of Health and Human Services has labeled Sanders’ claims as “unequivocally false.”

“The report released by his office today is a politically motivated distortion that undermines the thousands of dedicated public health professionals across HHS, who remain steadfast in their commitment to delivering results for the American people,” HHS stated.

HHS scrapping COVID jab recommendations for pregnant moms and kids: Report

HHS scrapping COVID jab recommendations for pregnant moms and kids: Report

The Department of Health and Human Services is reportedly preparing to scrap its recommendation that pregnant women and kids get the COVID-19 vaccines. Individuals said to be familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that the announcement is imminent and will coincide with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention kicking off a new vaccine approval framework.

While the relevant agencies apparently did not respond to the Journal’s requests for comment, U.S. Food and Drug Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary provided a fairly strong indication this week that the change was coming.

Makary told Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk that he would “love to see the evidence to show that giving young, healthy children another COVID-19 shot — you know, a sixth COVID booster — would help them, but that evidence does not exist, and so we’re not going to rubber-stamp things at the FDA.”

“I don’t think you’re going to see a push at the CDC to be pushing COVID shots in young, healthy children,” continued Makary, adding that he expected an announcement on that front in the coming weeks.

Sources told the Journal that it would only be a matter of days.

At the time of publication, the CDC was still recommending that everyone ages 6 months and older get a COVID-19 vaccine.

‘Connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths.’

The agency states on its website that getting the shot is especially important for individuals who have survived this long without one, geriatrics, pregnant women, those planning to conceive, and breastfeeding mothers. The agency urges parents to get their children 6 months to 4 years of age loaded up with two doses of the Moderna vaccine or three doses of the Pfizer vaccine if they were starting fresh.

As of April 26, 14.4% of pregnant women had received a 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine and 13% of children 6 months to 17 years of age were up to date, CDC data shows.

The CDC stuck with its recommendations until now despite credible warnings from Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and other experts; troubling scientific studies demonstrating the vaccines were not as safe and effective as advertised; glaring evidence that kids and teens were at low risk for COVID and could go without; and damning state-leveled allegations that one of the primary vaccine manufacturers sat on evidence that its COVID-19 vaccine “was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths.”

Just last month, a preprint study backed by the Florida Department of Health suggested that adults in the Sunshine State who received the Pfizer vaccine had “significantly higher risk of 12-month all-cause, cardiovascular, COVID-19, and non-COVID-19 mortality” than those who received the Moderna shot.

A study conducted by the Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project — a Global Vaccine Data Network initiative supported by both the CDC and the HHS — and published last year in the journal Vaccine detailed troubling links between the AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines and medical conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, brain and spinal cord inflammation, Bell’s palsy, and convulsions.

Another peer-reviewed study published last year in the pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety indicated that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death.”

“COVID-19 vaccines induce an uncontrolled expression of potentially lethal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within human cells, have a close temporal relationship of events, and are internally and externally consistent with emerging sources of clinical and peer-reviewed data supporting the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines are deterministic for myocarditis, including fatal cases,” said the study.

‘The current risks of serious adverse events or deaths outweigh the benefits.’

Texas cardiologist Peter McCullough, a leading critic of the vaccines, said in a statement Thursday, “Two presidents, three HHS Secretaries, three FDA Commissioners, and nearly five years into the disastrous COVID-19 vaccine debacle, women and children receive long overdue yet welcome news. After record vaccine injuries, disabilities, and death, America is wondering will any of these leaders be held accountable?”

Dropping the recommendations appears to be a half measure, given that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. previously fought to revoke authorization of COVID-19 vaccines altogether.

In a petition he filed with the FDA on May 16, 2021, Kennedy said the agency should revoke all emergency use authorizations and refrain from approving future EUAs for any COVID vaccine for all demographic groups “because the current risks of serious adverse events or deaths outweigh the benefits, and because existing, approved drugs provide highly effective prophylaxis and treatment against COVID, mooting the EUAs.”

Kennedy noted further that the agency should specifically spare children and pregnant women from the novel vaccines.

Kennedy’s warnings and requests evidently fell on deaf ears.

In its final weeks, the Biden HHS extended liability protection to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and administrators through Dec. 31, 2029, precluding vaccine recipients who reportedly end up injured or their surviving family members from holding those responsible to account. This was the latest of several such extensions.

The reports of the HHS dropping the vaccine recommendations and other moves made in recent months by the Trump administration have elements of the medical establishment clutching pearls.

Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told the New York Times, “I think that we are in the midst of watching the vaccine infrastructure being torn down bit by bit.”

“I think everything is a target,” said Tara Smith, an epidemiologist at Kent State University College of Public Health.

“Overturning the recommendation means that insurance companies will no longer have to cover these vaccines,” Dorit Reiss, a law professor at UC Law San Francisco, complained to the health publication Stat.

RFK Jr. BLASTS COVID-era response; promises new chapter

In the years that followed COVID-19, the mainstream media, including outlets like Fox News, continued to push the idea that Americans had to “trust the science.”

And while Fox News did have its share of dissident voices speaking out during the Biden administration’s reign, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t letting Fox forget when it did fall in line.

“Above all, we are going to get rid of the taboos about challenging orthodoxies, about challenging consensus, and we’re telling the public every day, all of us, ‘That is not science,’” RFK Jr. said in an interview on Fox News — before taking it to task for the part it played in the Biden administration’s tyrannical reign.

“Your whole industry was telling the public for years, ‘Trust the experts.’ ‘Trust the experts’ is not a function of science or democracy, it’s a function of totalitarianism and religion,” he added.

“Hold the vaccines, but inject that into my veins,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” tells Matthew Peterson, who agrees wholeheartedly.

“I can’t emphasize enough that this is important, that people tell the truth in these positions after we’ve been told lies for so long,” he tells Savage. “The fact that you have the director of HHS, the people who are in charge of all these agencies, coming out and saying, ‘Oh no, these people have not earned trust, and science is about questioning and finding the truth.’”

“Straight into our veins and also into the bloodstream of the entire country, because it’s what we need to hear,” he adds.
