Following the 520 page Covid report
They follow up with an 18 page report with Recommendations

Not covering it all just the parts I disagree with or have something to say. My comments are in italics, and relatively brief
Summary: In a Straussian way they are basically calling for Digital ID, accepting some Mandates and limited Lockdowns, promote widespread testing, and propose building a Pandemic Emergency Manufacturing Base (if you build it they [Pandemics] will come), and AI to replace GOF labs which will lead to virtual GOF.
1-Recommendations Regarding Investigating the Origins of COVID-19
Focused on Wuhan, China and EHA. The Investigation must include all labs and virologists and their subcontractors working with coronaviruses and sequences
As I and others have said any investigation must include Ralph Baric and his lab, RML, NMRU , and other DoD facilities.
2-Recommendations Regarding Gain-of-Function Research
Using artificial intelligence or machine learning should be encouraged as a substitute for traditional high-risk pathogen research. The Federal Government must encourage the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in high-risk virology research and restrict the use of live viral research to only necessary uses to reduce the likelihood of a laboratory or research related accident or infection.
Yikes. AI will certainly be a very useful tool in engineering no novel pathogen sequences where any qualified lab will be able to synthesize the sequence into a replicating competent virus (assuming the virus sequence was properly engineered by AI)
3-Recommendations Regarding EcoHealth Alliance, Inc
Who cares they are just a CIA front company and patsy
4-Recommendations Regarding the Federal Government.
Just talking about grants and splitting NIAID into two. Unbelievable.
5-The Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Transparency of the Use of Taxpayer Funds and Relief Programs to Address the Coronavirus Pandemic, Including Any Reports of Waste, Fraud, or Abuse
A-Federal Agencies Cannot Rely on “Self-Certification” and Must Implement Modern Digital Identification Programs:
Whether for regular, recurring government benefits or for the extraordinary benefits that were disbursed during the pandemic, federal agencies must verify eligibility of applicants through either commercially available or government-developed identification verification applications. Federal agencies should implement proper cross-matching of applicant data with available databases immediately to be effective in the scenario of future emergency relief funds. Update legacy systems within federal agencies to give them the ability to perform cross-matching for such a large volume of claims.
Yikes again. Push for Digital ID continues. I never got a cent despite being a social security recipient via direct bank deposit ($12k per year😂)
6-The Implementation or Effectiveness of Any Federal Law or Regulation Applied, Enacted, or Under Consideration to Address the Coronavirus Pandemic and Prepare for Future Pandemics
A-Expand and Improve the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response
The Office should be responsible for ‘biological hazards’ as naturally occurring or bioengineered and ‘biological incidents’ as natural or accidental occurrences, a crime involving a biothreat, and an act of biological terrorism or warfare. More important, the Office should be expanded to cover all of the National Biodefense Strategy objectives. As the leading public health officer, the Surgeon General should be consulted and briefed regularly on the Office’s activities. Finally, the Office should be removed from the Executive Office of the President to emphasize the apolitical nature of the office and its responsibilities.
I like it. Covid Should have been investigated first as an act of bioterrorism as I have said many times before. The fact it never was suggests who the Terrorists were
7-Recommendations Regarding The WHO
Don’t care. More China China China blabber.
8-Recommendations Regarding The Supply Chain and Strategic National Stockpile
A-U.S. Must Move Toward a 100 Percent Domestic Production of Vital medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals:
Provide tax credits, grants, and low-interest loans to companies investing in domestic production. Offer guaranteed government procurement contracts to incentivize U.S.-based production. Partner with private companies to develop next-generation medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. Fund educational initiatives and apprenticeships in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biomedical engineering, and related fields. Maintain a strategic reserve of critical materials to buffer against supply disruptions.
We already partner with these guys for this and they then make it outside the US because the tax rate is 1/2 what it is if they make it in US and labor is cheaper
B-U.S. Must Develop a Manufacturing Ready Reserve (MRR):
This would be a forward-thinking strategy to ensure the U.S. can rapidly produce critical medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and other essential goods during emergencies. The MRR would act as a "standby force" of manufacturing capacity, ready to be activated when needed. Focus areas would include: Medical Supplies: PPE, ventilators, syringes, and diagnostic tools. Pharmaceuticals: Vaccines, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, and essential medications. Critical Technologies: Items like microchips and other essential components used in healthcare devices.
This has to be the stupidest one yet. Nobody invests in manufacturing capacity that only is used when needed. You need a market and reasonable guarantee of continuous demand for your product to make a return on your investment. Plus you need trained labor. You don’t hire someone years after its built to operate the equipment during an emergency and expect to produce anything quickly.
9-Recommendations Regarding Public Health Mitigation Measures
A-Public Health Lockdowns Must Be Designed to Protect the Most Vulnerable While Preserving the Status Quo For As Much of the Population as Possible:
A robust discussion of the costs and benefits is critical. We must not ever again attach “zero value” to the collateral damage that may be caused by interventions such as lockdowns.
Here they are leaving the door open to locking down the vulnerable population. Who is vulnerable can be anyone they chose. Young, old, black, white, male, female, Democrats, Republicans,etc
10-Recommendations Regarding Surveillance and Testing
A-When There is Any Doubt about a New Virus of Concern Emerging in a Foreign Country, Travel Restrictions Should be Immediately Enacted:
The problem with this is we have almost 10 million citizens outside the country (living, business, school, tourism) at any point, not including the military. Plus you have goods from overseas that you need. By the time you are aware of a new virus somewhere its already too late, its already circulating in your backyard.
B-Support Wastewater Surveillance Efforts.
During COVID-19, efforts to surveil wastewater proved to be an effective early-warning tool. The federal government should consider bolstering these efforts to prepare for a future pandemic.
You need to know there is a new virus and its sequence first, and not knowing if the virus is from humans or animals makes false alarms likely. Besides, what do you do when you detect it, lock us down or restrict anyone in a given area from traveling?
C-Public-Private Partnerships to Develop Testing Must be Put in Place Now to Prepare for Future Pandemics:
Having agreements, contracts, etc. and infrastructure in place with industry and academia for testing. Government development of its own kits did not work. Incorporate lessons learned for failures in developing tests. Office of Pandemic Preparedness Readiness and Response should have the lead.
Testing is over rated. If you need a test to know if someone is sick he or she is not very infectious. Also universal testing of symptomless people creates many false positives. PCR tests cant determine if a sample has replicant competent virus, especially at high CT thresholds. Didn’t we learn anything?
General Recommendations
A-The Constitution Should Never be Put on Hold in Times of Crisis: Free Speech
No shit. Gaza is a Genocide. Pretty soon it will be a crime to say so
B-Doctors Frequently and Responsibly Prescribe Off-Label Treatments and Should Never be Demonized for Doing so in Exercising Their Sound Medical Judgment:
It goes beyond Demonizing. Medical Boards pulled doctors licenses. Pharmacies refused to fill prescriptions. Why are there no recommendations for legislation to criminalize this
C-Federal Health Agencies Must Trust the American People with the Whole Truth – Speaking in “Generalities” and Using Rules of Thumb is Not Good Enough:
Duh. You can say the same about those in Congress, especially those writing this report
The Development of Vaccines and Treatments, and the Development and Implementation of Vaccination Policies for Federal Employees and Members of the Armed Forces
A-Operation Warp Speed Should Serve as a Blueprint to be Used to Quickly Develop Vaccines and Therapeutics.
The federal government should evaluate whether certain aspects of Operation Warp Speed can be integrated permanently to more rapidly develop vaccines and therapeutics for diseases which currently afflict the American people. If this evaluation necessitates legislation, Congress should pass legislation which facilitates these goals.
Another lesson not learned. Doing something fast is not safe. If we never had another new drug or vaccine we would be fine. People get sick and die. Thats life. Just eliminate the unsafe shit thats already out there. When Afflictions turns a Profit for Big Corporations we get more Afflictions
B-Vaccine Mandates—Particularly at the Federal Level—Should be Avoided, Especially for Vaccines which do Not Prevent the Spread of a Virus.
Vaccine policy should leave room for individual choice and tailored medical advice from individual’s doctors. One’s vaccination status should not preclude them from earning a wage or pursuing a happy and fulling life.
Notice the qualifying statement? “At the Federal Level” leaving state, city and corporate mandates open
C-Consider Whether Vaccines which are not Eligible for VICP Compensation should be Eligible for a Vaccine Mandate.
Some vaccines, particularly those approved for emergency use (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic), may not be eligible for VICP compensation. Mandating such vaccines raises concerns about their safety, as they have not undergone the same long-term testing as vaccines covered by VICP. Vaccines not covered by VICP may still be safe and effective, but their long-term safety profile might not be fully known at the time of mandate. Continuous monitoring and post-market surveillance are necessary to ensure that any adverse effects are identified early and addressed. Mandating vaccines that do not offer VICP protection could lead to legal challenges, particularly if individuals feel they are being forced to take a vaccine without adequate recourse in the event of harm. This could also damage public trust in vaccination programs. If vaccines are not eligible for VICP compensation, it may be appropriate for Congress to explore alternative mechanisms to provide compensation or remedy for individuals who suffer serious adverse reactions to mandated vaccine
Here they are leaving the door open for Mandates again. If VICP eligible, Mandates may be OK. BTW, VICP is no Great prize. Hard as hell to win a claim and it takes forever. You pay for it with an excise tax on Vaccines. Also, VICP eligible means the mfr are free from liability with no incentive to provide safe vaccines. They think you are stupid.
D-The System used by Federal Health Agencies for Vaccine Safety Surveillance Must be Reformed.
The federal government should consider establishing a personnel reserve consisting of appropriate public and private sector experts, which could be activated during a public health emergency to evaluate reports of adverse events and seek to establish causality. Rather than maintaining a “separate back-end system” The FDA and CDC should evaluate the feasibility of publicly publishing all updates and corrections to VAERS reports.
Sounds nice but until they develop a way of removing the Conflict of Interest by the “Experts” it wont work.
One thing that might work besides making manufacturers liable for injury is an Independent Supreme Court of Vaccine and Drug Safety. 50 “Experts” appointed to life (65) who will be highly paid and not permitted to own any stock in the industry or receive gifts (nor any family member). They review the evidence of any cases brought before it and judge its safety.
Who appoints them is the biggest problem.
E-Establish a Personnel Reserve Consisting of Appropriate Public and Private Sector Subject Matter Experts:
The federal government should consider establishing a personnel reserve consisting of appropriate public and private sector experts, which could be activated during a public health emergency to assist in the adjudication of compensation claims. This personnel reserve may also be established in conjunction with a personnel reserve analyzing overall reports of vaccine adverse events.
Same as above
F-Emergency Use Authorization should Only Be Used for the Most Vulnerable Americans with the Greatest Risk:
EUA process was created to allow for the rapid deployment of medical interventions—such as vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics— during public health emergencies, including pandemics. However, there is a growing concern that EUA should only be applied to the most vulnerable Americans who face the greatest risk during a health crisis, rather than being broadly extended to all populations
Again, who decides who is vulnerable . Those wanting to sell more vaccines will try and make that group as large as possible
No comment on the rest of the reports Recommendations listed for reference
11-The Economic Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Associated Government Response on Individuals, Communities, Small Businesses, Health Care Providers, States, and Local Government Entities
……,
12-The Societal Impact of Decisions to Close Schools, How the Decisions Were Made and Whether There is Evidence of Widespread Learning Loss or Other Negative Effects as a Result of These Decision
…..
Conclusion-there is little of value to this report. They fail to realize what Operation COVID was about. A low pathogenic virus was designed and released to terrorize the population into accepting Lockdowns and Experimental Vaccines and the death count was inflated to do the same by denying off label drugs, giving unsafe experimental drugs (Remdesivir), ventilators, Midazolam and suppressing use of steroids. It was also an excuse to inflate the money supply and make the Billionaires richer
It was the Greatest Crime against Humanity ever committed, killing 1.8 million Americans alone and up to 20 million globally, and all they can come up with are sacrificial patsies like Daszak, Fauci and Morens , WIV, CDC. It seems to satisfy most people
A couple of years ago I called for Nuremberg II Trials
https://pete843.substack.com/p/pandemic-amnesty
Charges To Be Investigated
Creating a pathogenic virus and deliberately releasing it to kill people and create a market for patented vaccines and tests
Withholding and lying about the safety and efficacy of repurposed drugs which could have saved millions of lives
Designing and recommending treatment protocols designed to harm patients (eg. Remdesivir, low dose-not high dose steroids, Respirators, etc).
Ignoring patients instructions not to use Remdesivir, Respirators or denying their request to use cheap safe and approved drugs off-label if for no reason than to provide a placebo effect
Failing to fill prescriptions of approved drugs issued by a licensed Doctor for treating COVID
CONSPIRING with Pfizer and Moderna to discredit Repurposed Drugs, threaten Doctors, Hospitals and Pharmacies that prescribed, used or filled these prescriptions or bribed them in the form of financial incentives not to use them
CONSPIRING with Pfizer and Moderna in the design of Trial Protocols meant to disguise the lack of safety and efficacy of the vaccines
Fraudulently Withholding or minimizing Adverse Events in Trials and in Post Marketing, and refusing to investigate reported (alleged) Fraud in Pfizer Clinical Trials
Deliberately deceiving potential recipients of EUA Product, which denies them Informed Consent by exaggerating the benefits and hiding the risks
Coercing or Mandating an EUA Product despite knowing the limited benefits and known risks, especially in younger and healthier populations (working age, military and universities)
Recommending an EUA Product Off-Label without providing Informed Consent (eg Pregnant Women) and lack of evidence showing its safety (absence of evidence they are not safe is not evidence since this group was excluded from trials)
Failing to conduct adequate Pharmacovigilance and disseminate results of post-marketing safety data in a timely manner.
Terrorizing the Population early in the Pandemic by willfully exaggerating the IFR and conflating IFR with CFR. Inflating death counts by unlawfully changing the way Death Certificates would classify Cause of Death for someone with a positive PCR test who died of other reasons. Exaggerating case counts by including asymptomatic positive tests with high Ct (>30) in case counts.
Deny Free Speech to those exposing these Crimes
Restricting Freedoms of those who were not Sick and did not have contact with anyone known to have COVID (aka Lockdowns) without a proper Risk-Benefit Assessment
Mandating Masks without any adequate Safety Studies for the target population (all ages and variable health status in all sorts of environmental conditions) and without reasonable accommodation for those whose health does not permit wearing a mask, and exaggerating their effectiveness which may have led to those at most risk of COVID thinking they were protected
Promoting and Publishing studies on repurposed drugs that were clearly fraudulent to influence public opinion knowing that the retraction would not be publicized as widely as the initial reports
I don’t think its going to happen. Indeed, this worked so well for so many I expect a repeat with MAHA assuring you that this time its for your own good.
My Recommendation: With COVID if we never did anything nobody would ever noticed there was a new virus, and thats exactly what we should do when the next new virus shows up, unless people start dropping dead in the street. Do Nothing
People have to understand the human immune system is an incredible thing. Trust it. The Old and Sick will always be vulnerable, but they are vulnerable to todays viruses as well
New Viruses come and go, they always have. In Modern Society their threat is exaggerated. Only in populations with extreme poverty, poor nutrition, lack of sanitation and clean water do they pose a threat. Some individuals due to age or poor health might die a bit earlier as they do in a bad flu season
As a finish this up I feel there is more to say concerning who the House Committee did not interview. Many of the most damaging policies were developed in 2020, yet we never heard from Robert Redfield-CDC, Alex Azar-HHS, Francis Collins-NIH* or Stephen Hahn-FDA, of Vayl Oxford-DTRA. Might be worthy of going back and looking at the actions of each of these agencies actions before/after the pandemic
*Updated to correct. Collins was interviewed. Thanks to Jim Haslam for pointing this out
End
Nice list at the end; no interview of Robert Redfield is odd. They did interview Collins, but nothing special.
