A Hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, June 3, 2024, Washington DC (YouTube VIDEO). Other news, latest FOI responses.
All archived in www.ivim.ca.
The news about Fauci is truly remarkable. Just listen to this hearing that just happened in the U.S. last week. Although it took place in the U.S., who can say that people elsewhere did not suffer similarly from lockdowns and everything that followed? Is it only in the U.S. where people who were asking the questions that everyone needed to ask—what was the scientific basis behind six-foot distancing, masking, and other measures that resulted in the closure of schools and businesses—were mocked, called conspiracy theorists, and even disciplined or suspended from work?
And, for those who missed the Canadian Freedom Leaders Forum meeting last week, highlights from there are archived at https://www.ivim.ca/community/freedom-leaders-forum/2024-06-07 (including Wins of the Week and plently of interesting related links and events).
Also, another major win happened last week for dismissed unvaccinated in US:
https://www.ivim.ca/community/legal-wins/us-ninth-circuit.
The court's ruling in Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. v. Carvalho agreed that COVID-19 vaccine, unlike traditional vaccines, does not prevent transmission or provide immunity, making it more akin to a medical treatment than a public health measure, and hence forcing them on individuals as a condition of keeping their jobs, staying in school, etc., was unreasonble.
And yet another major win, closer to home - in London, Ottawa: https://www.ivim.ca/community/legal-wins/london-ontario-may-30-2024. Arbitrator orders reinstatement of unvaccinated London Health Sciences hospital worker, finds termination lacked just cause.
Finally, a few recent FOI responses have been recently archived at www.IVIM.ca. Good - we live in Democracy where people have the right to know the Truth. Yes, it takes time and effort to reveal it. But still, we can do it!

Key findings:
Reported Adverse Reactions to COVID-19 vaccines in Canadian Armed Forces:
- In 2021, 1 out of 1,267, doses
- In 2022, 1 out of 287 doses
- This is much higher than reported by Health Canada (1 in 1,789 doses).
Conclusion: HC under-reports significantly, unless proven otherwise.https://www.ivim.ca/evidence/ati/opq/opq-underreported-deaths-from-unspecified-causes
Key findings: in datasets published by Statistics Canada, Deaths from 'unspecified causes' are signignifincantly under-reported, esp for year 2022:in November 2023, Statistics Canada reported there were 6,841 'unspecified causes' of death for 2020, but according to the government's response, the actual number was 9,450.
For 2021, Statistics Canada reported 9,471 'unspecified causes' of death, while the true number, as per the government's response, was 18,850.
Finally, in 2022, Statistics Canada reported 16,043 'unspecified causes' of death, but according to the government's response, the actual count was a staggering 55,975.

Transcript of Highlights from Dr. Campbell
I want to listen to some testimony from Dr. Brad Winrop, who is the chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight. He is himself a doctor and a part-time military Colonel. These hearings took place on the 3rd of June, and they're entitled "A Hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Former Director, National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases." It really is quite stunning stuff. I know a lot of you have been reading this book here by Robert Kennedy Jr., *The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health*. The level of scholarship in this book is quite extraordinary, absolutely quite an incredible document. Although there are some things in this book that are hard to read, as far as I know, there's been no litigation in the United States against its content.
Standing in the center of all the mayhem with his confident hand on the helm was one dominating figure. As the trusted public face of the United States government's response to COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci set his perilous course and sold the American public on a new destination for our democracy. But anyway, I'm not sure what I can read you from this, but it really is quite an incredible document. Get it from the library or lend it from a mate. Anyway, let's listen to Dr. Winrop now.
"We are following the facts, holding wrongdoers accountable, and planning for a better, more prepared future. Beginning early in 2020, you became the figurehead of public health. There were drinks named after you, you got bobbleheads made in your likeness, and you were on the cover of *Vogue*. You threw out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. Almost overnight, you became a celebrity and a household name, in addition to being a public health official. Americans from coast to coast and beyond listened to your words, and this is where I think we could have done better, and this goes to both sides of the aisle. We should have been more precise, we should have used words and phrases that are accurate and not misleading, and we should have been honest, especially about what we didn't know.
Dr. Fauci, I'm not a virologist, but I am a physician, and like most physicians, we are constantly learning. This is why we do continuing medical education, and we always seek new information. We learn new things based on new data, and we want to give our patients the best possible care based on new findings and improvements in science. At a time when you were promoting the 'proximal origin' paper, whose focus was to, quote, 'disprove the lab leak theory,' unquote, I was in lockdown researching with another physician in Ohio to try and understand the pathology, the affected physiology, and what treatments worked, and even how to diagnose COVID before we had specific COVID tests. My friend even made a phone call to an infectious disease doctor in China looking for help as well. During that time, we discovered the Baric and Shi 2015 article on creating a chimera using gain-of-function type technology.
While policy decisions should have been based on scientific data, some frankly were not. The burdensome six-foot social distancing rule did not have sufficient scientific support. In your words, it 'just sort of appeared.' Distancing made sense, but the six feet was arbitrary. Even Dr. Collins said he still hasn't seen any empirical evidence to support the six-foot rule, a rule that shut down schools and businesses, a rule that will have negative ramifications for decades. As the pandemic wore on, more mandates also just sort of appeared, but the American public didn't get to see the scientific data to support these mandates. Americans were aggressively bullied, shamed, and silenced for merely questioning or debating issues such as social distancing, masks, vaccines, or the origins of COVID. Many Americans were willing to comply with the 15 days to slow the spread and understood the necessity of banning travel from certain countries in an attempt to slow down the virus, but many Americans became very frustrated when components of those 15 days stretched into years.
It should not have been the case that Americans were forced to comply with oppressive mandates when those who chose to illegally cross our southern border were not, or when Governor Noem or Governor Whitmer were throwing parties at nice restaurants. Not a good look. Americans do not hate science, but Americans know hypocrisy when they see it. Dr. Fauci, under your leadership, the United States health agencies adopted specific policy aims as a single dogmatic truth without the benefit of debate out of a desire for a single narrative. Dr. Fauci, you once said, 'If you disagree with me, you disagree with science.' Science doesn't belong to any one person. I was never taught that science turns a blind eye to hypotheses. They serve to be proven or disproven and done so with irrefutable facts if able. It was interesting that you chose not to pursue an aggressive and transparent scientific investigation of both natural spillover and lab leak. We have been investigating both hypotheses. You testified before the Select Subcommittee in your transcribed interview that the lab leak theory was not a conspiracy theory. You embraced the proximal origin letter. It wasn't necessarily a full peer-reviewed research paper, but you embraced the proximal origin letter and shared it with the public from the White House lawn.
You stated during your transcribed interview that you did not review published articles that considered a potential lab leak of COVID-19. This is especially concerning if the works in question were conducted at a more risky and less safe BSL-2 lab. Nevertheless, any dissent from your chosen scientific position was immediately labeled as anti-science. Anything less than complete submission to the mandates could cost you your livelihood, your ability to go into public, your child's ability to attend school. Families were thrown off planes and shamed when their two-year-olds struggled to wear a mask. Children with disabilities lost access to therapy that they and their families depended on. Students were out of the classroom and told to attend school remotely, even when the science clearly demonstrated it was safe for them to go back in the classroom. This harmed low-income students the most. And how were single parent households supposed to teach their own children and work at the same time?
Dr. Fauci, you oversaw one of the most invasive regimes of domestic policy the U.S. has ever seen, including mask mandates, school closures, coerced vaccination, social distancing of six feet, and more. We've learned many lessons. Our early fear and confusion was understandable. COVID-19 was clearly a novel virus. Under your leadership, NIAID allowed disgraced characters like Dr. Peter Daszak to use millions in taxpayer dollars to conduct risky gain-of-function experiments in Wuhan, China. The actions of EcoHealth and Dr. Daszak call into question the integrity of NIAID's policies and procedures as a whole, as well as your role, Dr. Fauci, as NIAID's director. You did sign off on his research grant. We need to know why. Dr. David Morens, your direct report for more than two decades, assisted Dr. Daszak in avoiding oversight and scrutiny and said that you were involved. Your senior adviser and seemingly your chief of staff repeatedly attempted to evade transparency laws to shield information from public scrutiny. We have senior officials from your office, in their own writing, discussing breaking federal law, deleting official records, and sharing private government information with grant recipients. The office you directed and those serving under your leadership chose to flout the law and bragged about it. Why did you allow your office to be unaccountable to the American people? You were the highest-paid person in the government. This makes you more accountable to the people, not less.
Dr. Fauci, whether intentional or not, you became so powerful that any disagreements the public had with you were forbidden and censored on social and most legacy media time and time again. This is why so many Americans became so angry because this was fundamentally un-American. If I make a mistake, I answer to the people of Ohio who elected me and to my own conscience. When you and your agency made mistakes, Dr. Fauci, what happened? We all need to be held accountable. Sometimes it's as simple as saying we were wrong. You took the position that you presented the science. Your words came across to so many people as final and infallible in matters pertaining to the pandemic. But such rigid demands of an ideologically diverse people like Americans shattered public trust in American health institutions. 'Because I said so' has never been good enough for Americans, and it never will be. It's built into the American spirit. We have a thirst for information, a drive for advancement. Americans were first in flight. We landed on the moon. We've cured diseases. You've been part of that, and we've made innumerable discoveries and explorations that forever changed humanity. Americans do not want to be indoctrinated; they want to be educated, and they prefer to make their health decisions in conjunction with the doctor that they know and trust. To be successful, our federal public health institutions must be accountable to the people again. To be successful, our health organizations must do what they are supposed to do: protect Americans."
Well, I think you'll agree, pretty hard-hitting stuff there from Dr. Brad Winrop, chair of the House Representatives Committee on Oversight. It's hard to disagree with any of that. He wants to follow facts, aim for a better-prepared future, and seek honesty about what we don't know. There's lots we don't know; let's be honest about that. He wants to aim for the best possible care, and of course, he wants more scientific rationale because there's been a lack of scientific rationale. The origins paper he was talking about was published and, as far as I know, it's still in the public domain. It basically said if you think that the virus could have come from a lab, well, you're a conspiracy theorist—pooh-poohed, dismissed. At least two American intelligence agencies now think the virus came from a lab. He talked about risky gain-of-function research in China and the links between American and Chinese institutions, flouting the law, and Dr. Fauci's high salary. According to Robert Kennedy in his book, it's $417,608 per year, which is quite a nice salary.
Some of the things in this book are really quite extraordinary. Robert Kennedy talks about, "I thought I knew everything about regulatory capture and that I had armored myself with an appropriate shield of cynicism, but I was wrong about that." Robert Kennedy, of course, has a long record of fighting various aspects of corruption. We have no way of knowing how many people died from isolation, unemployment, deferred medical care, depression, mental illness, obesity, stress, overdose, suicide, addiction, alcoholism, and the accidents that so often accompany despair. The book also discusses the economic influences of the pandemic. For example, in 2020, workers lost $3.7 trillion while billionaires gained $3.9 trillion. Some 493 individuals became new billionaires, and an additional 8 million Americans dropped below the poverty line. Quite an incredible wealth transfer. Anyway, do check out that book for yourself. It's well worth looking at. I was amazed at how well-referenced and researched it is. Every chapter is really well-referenced; it's a very thorough piece of work.
I am looking forward to more from this inquiry, and we'll probably post some of that shortly, but for now, we'll leave that there for reflection. Really quite incredible, but good to hear Dr. Winrop looking at that calmly, objectively, and scientifically. That's what we want. Let's hope that lessons are indeed learned because quite a few of us have got a feeling that there are more issues to come. For now, thank you for watching.
