Happening now, Doctor Anthony Fauci testifying before House lawmakers for
the first time in nearly two years today over his
handling of COVID-19.
Democrats trying to ignore the consequences of bad pandemic policies.
But remember, you can't move forward without examining the past.
Take a look at this.
The total economic toll from the pandemic on the US
economy estimated to be $14 trillion.
The impact of learning losses from COVID-19 could cost this
generation of students globally $17 trillion
in lifetime earnings. And in the year after the pandemic,
200,000 small businesses were forced to close their doors.
Here's his exchange with Congressman McCormick.
You think can be done about it?
I have to say that I don't see a big
solution other than some sort of mandatory of vaccination.
I know federal officials don't like to use that term.
Once people feel empowered and protected
legally, you are gonna have schools,
universities and colleges are gonna say,
you wanna come to this college,
buddy, you're gonna get vaccinated,
lady. You're gonna get vaccinated.
Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook and,
and, and all of those others are going to say
you want to work for us to get vaccinated.
And it's been proven that when you make it difficult
for people in their lives,
they lose their ideological
and they get vaccinated.
Thank you. Are all objections to COVID vaccinations
ideological, Dr. Pouchy?
No, they're not, and that's not what I was referring
to.
Well, in reference to making it hard for people to
get education,
traveling, working, I'd say it very much was in context,
yes. Now, member of the House Select Subcommittee on the
Coronavirus pandemic,
Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick. Congressman,
thank you for being with us.
That exchange was eye opening.
Look, the educational, economic, cultural damage of pandemic mandates and
prohibitions,
which you raised and many of which were arbitrary,
was devastating. Did Doctor Fauci's testimony give you any assurance
that public health officials and politicians have learned from their
mistakes?
Not one iota. As a matter of fact,
it just worries me more because the government never ceases
to to miss a chance to grab more power.
The whether it be a pandemic or climate change or
whatever they think is important,
they will use it to overtax us,
over regulate us and take control of our lives.
That's what we should be learning from this hearing of
nothing else,
that we should never let a government use any excuse,
no matter how scary, no matter how fearful they try
to make it,
to take away our freedoms.
And we have to be very careful that because that's
what governments do.
They use any chance they can to become more powerful.
And that is UN American as you can possibly get.
I'm so glad you said that,
Congressman, because that was really what it was about for
me as somebody who was living through it as everybody
else was.
If you didn't agree with Doctor Fauci and his cronies
and their tagline and their procedures that they wanted you
to follow you,
essentially we're going to be ostracized
in society. And therefore, many of us,
like lemmings, fell in line and did what we had
to do in order to live our lives.
But having said that, we've got testimony today that's Underoath.
He's been on Capitol Hill before,
and he's blatantly lied about certain things.
For example, the NIH giving funding to the Wuhan lab
in China where we believe COVID broke out.
He says that did not happen.
He said that Underoath, are we going to hold him
or take him to task,
hold him accountable, take him to task for any of
of this?
Well, as you know, I'm a doctor,
not a lawyer, but we have
45,000 pages of emails now that have been released that
we've gone through,
our lawyers have gone through,
and we found damning evidence really of him taking it
very lightly and actually lying.
We've seen, whether it be Doctor Moran,
Zach Tabak, we've seen several different officials,
his closest allies in this debacle,
actually doing some things that are very shady,
whether it be apply for grants or getting kickbacks from
pharmaceutical companies.
The things that they recommended weren't based on science.
As a matter of fact,
as an ER doctor, I was an ER doctor during
the entire pandemic and the things I said that was
censored for and threatened to lose my license over all
turned out to be true.
But these guys got away with murder and now we're
catching them at it.
And I hope we do hold them accountable.
Some of the ways that,
you know, you've been also been talking about your experience
as a doctor is the erosion of trust between the
healthcare provider and an individual.
And instead asking big government to give us guidance instead
of the individual really trusting what their own individual healthcare
provider
says or recommends. Do you see us being able to
get back to that point where we can start to
ignore big government and work on the relationship between that
healthcare provider and the individual?
That's what this November is all about really.
There's one side of the government that thinks that we
should turn to the government for all of our answers,
whether it be morality, what what we can do in
our schools,
what we can do in the locker room,
how we consequent sports versus another one that says,
you know, it's up to the individual.
Our country was founded on the principles that we have
God-given,
inalienable rights, and we shouldn't be infringed upon by any
government.
As a matter of fact,
the reason our government was built so inefficiently and so
it would never become more powerful than the people.
But right now that's in jeopardy.
Congressman, thank you for asking questions that people actually care
about today.
We appreciate it. We thank you for being with us
as well.
Always a pleasure. Simplify.
