Ruiz [Subcommittee Hearing]: This reckless strategy was embraced by those at the very top of the Trump administration, such as pandemic advisor Scott Atlas…the strategy would have pushed already overwhelmed hospitals to the brink…and this strategy could have caused an estimated three million additional deaths, according to projections by the Washington Post.
Dr. Tan [Subcommittee Hearing]: Immunity acquired from a COVID-19 infection and immunity after vaccination are both natural.
Dr. Makary [Subcommittee Hearing]: We can't have a five year old girl get seventy-seven mRNA doses in her average lifespan. That's what people are promoting without any data.
Ruiz: Vaccines don't cause long COVID. Natural infection causes long COVID…Yes, vaccines help reduce transmission.
Ruiz: Without COVID-19 vaccines, the United States would have experienced 4.1 times more deaths, and 3.8 times more hospitalizations.
[chance of death without vaccine was less than 1%]
Malliotakis: [Biden] said if you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in IC Unit, you're not going to die. That was false. He said you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations. That was also false. Dr. Fauci said you become a dead end for the virus [once vaccinated]. That was also false. In New York City, all public employees…were mandated to get this vaccination, or be terminated. As a result, nearly fifteen thousand city workers were fired for not complying, many who had been recently infected.
Dr. Miller-Meeks: I was censored. I was reported to the Board of Medicine in my state. I was threatened to be taken off platforms. [for asking about infection-acquired, natural immunity]
Dr. Makary: No one was supposed to talk about natural immunity. It was misinformation, even if it was scientifically valid, because they thought maybe somebody might try to get the infection…that's the basis for it, and that's what public health officials told me privately.
Just a few days ago, before this apparently new directive, they were being given a court date…for 2027.
Cloud: What is a big issue…is to make sure that our taxpayer-funded public health officials are not conspiring against the very people they're supposed to be serving. Time and time again, the American people were told by Dr. Fauci, Biden administration, to take the vaccine, and at the time it was experimental at best…then it began to be mandated…suddenly vaccine passports were made a reality.
Garcia: We know that republicans, in general, are two and a half more times likely to believe misinformation.
Dr. McCormick: The same people that worry about disease in our population, are the same ones who opened up the southern border….millions of people across the southern border, without a test, without a vaccination, indeed, disseminated them during the worst part of the pandemic all over the United States.
