Every show here argues one way — no one on the roster makes the other case.
What um what experts will say in infectious disease and vaccinology is that the reason why we have to have biolabs is we have to get ahead of nature, >> right? >> So nature sooner or later is going to throw us a really bad bug and we're susceptible to these and the the case example they use is Spanish flu. In my book on vaccines, we spend a lot of time on the Spanish flu which was very unique post World War I. We have um you know young men in army barracks and remember influenza doesn't directly kill people. What kills them is a secondary staflocal pneumonia and that's what they die of. The the point that was made though is that listen we could have another Spanish flu. And when when COVID 19 pandemic broke don't forget the storyline we were told is oh here we go again it's another Spanish flu. Now remember, Anthony Fauci knows it came out of the lab, but they collaborate together to say, you know what, it came out of a a fish market. In fact, the WH when it was asked to investigate early in 2020, where did this virus come from? Rear Admiral Brett Gerard, someone who went to my medical school in Dallas at Southwestern. He he was on President Trump's first task force. Brett Brett Gerard nominates three US scientists to go to Wuhan. The WH says, "No, no, we we
YouTube and all social media used to refer people with Fouchy talking points and now it's been completely >> completely reversed. Uh so, so it a lot a lot of what's been found is is already there. But the thing that um we are working with uh Jay Bodacharia, the new NIH director on uh with as well as Secretary Kennedy um is looking at the gain of function research uh that in the case of the Wuhan lab as well as many others around many of these other biolabs around the world was actually US funded and leads to this dangerous kind of research that in many examples has resulted in uh either a pandemic or some other uh major health crisis. >> Let me ask you specifically because we already know that Eco Health Alliance was partnering with this Wuhan lab to create to do gain of function research. That's right. We just have never been able to have somebody say it and it was that exact experiment that led to this COVID bug. >> But it have have we gotten there? What's the new thing that you're digging in on? We we are we are working on that with Jay Bodacharia and look forward to being able to share that hopefully very soon. Okay. That that specific link uh correct between the gain of function research and what we saw with CO 19. >> I mean that would be extraordinary because just so the audience knows if that's true if it was Peter Dazzic's research with the Wuhan so-called bat lady that caused this pandemic then we did fund it. Then Anthony Fouchy helped fund the pandemic that he denied over and over and over to Senator Ran Paul's
Research which we all learned you know with devastating consequences can be extremely dangerous to humanity. >> Well there's lots of different euphemisms for genetic engineering in this world. There's dual use research of concern. Everyone knows about dual use. You can use a kitchen knife to make your dinner or to kill someone. Um, so then there's this idea of gain of function which is exactly like it sounds. You modify genetically modify a pathogen to give it more function. Be it virulence, be it transmissibility, uh, to defeat a counter measure. This is often done in the name of science, in the name of medical countermeasures, looking for vaccines, looking for antibiotics to defeat a biological weapon in the event of an attack or incident. But, you know, interviewing presidential advisers as I did, there's another side of the equation. People like Andy Weber, who was Obama's top biological weapons adviser, will tell you gain of function is a euphemism for biological weapons engineering. And he is not alone, >> right? And of course, we learned quite a bit about that term uh after the leak of COVID from the Wuhan lab. But what from the COVID experience uh did you see in terms of the breakdown of the US health infrastructure? a lot of the lack of trust between the mainstream population and the authorities that is also woven
Research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. Now, in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as director of national intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus's lab leak origins, and his role in directing US funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. Now, these documents expose Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19 and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research. We also received testimony from multiple intelligence community whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the intelligence community's manipulation of intelligence on the virus's origin. >> that on a pause. Obviously, this this goes on for a few minutes if you want to pause it. Brett, one, why is this so important? And two, will there be redemption for some of the families that went through it who directly were impacted by some of his policies? >> I think this is is huge deal. Uh, back
For um any sort of new viruses. These protect against regular normal pandemics like um we've seen throughout history, but they also protect against novel pandemics where we have the ability now to create and build new viruses, new pathogens. At the moment that ability is constrained to people with sufficient skills um in you know a handful of labs but the equipment needed to do so is getting is not that expensive and it's getting cheaper all the time. the knowledge needed to do so is becoming more and more democratized. >> And this is something that we really want to get ahead of because it's really not that unlikely to me, maybe I'd say one in three, that we will just see waves and waves of new pandemics >> as a result of people tinkering with viruses in their um >> you know, ultimately in their basement and um uh it leaking out. So you you're you're imagining just like endless lab leaks or you're imagining that plus uh biological terrorism. >> I'm thinking the most likely thing is lab leaks where obviously there's this big debate about co but let's just put that to the side. >> Leaks of viruses from labs are just extremely common. Yeah. Um in fact they average uh I think for every hundred person years of people working in um at least the higher security labs a virus leaks out. So >> uh in the United Kingdom the foot and
In the book is an explosion at a BSL4 lab in Russia in Siberia. It's called Vector. It's where a lot of the work took place during the Cold War. It's a real lab. There was actually a real explosion there in 2019. An explosion at a BSL4 lab is profoundly dangerous. At a place like Russia where they're going to immediately not be transparent, it's even more dangerous. Or maybe you could say that about every every nation, but in the you know, the cover up begins. And I I've got I show you how I show readers how the defense department will be immediately eyes on trying to figure out what's going on. They will work with the State Department to try and get information. Information is king. Denial is dangerous. In the Wuhan lab leak or natural, whatever you want to call it, when Wuhan happened, the Chinese government immediately shut down access to information. Incredibly dangerous. I spoke to epidemiologists who actually believe that pandemic could have been stopped had the Chinese government been transparent about what happened. So that's a real plug for transparency. And the more people that know about something, the more they're going to demand transparency. >> But do you think they wanted to shut that down? >> The big You mean the >> You think they wanted to contain it? >> Did they want to contain it? That I don't know. But what I do know is because biological weapons are illegal
This thing emerges. Um, so in any case, point is if there were a thousand biosafety level four labs studying bat corona viruses, then the fact that there happened to be one nearby where this virus showed up wouldn't necessarily mean anything. But if there's only one, it means a ton. If there were a tabletop exercise per year simulating a pandemic, then the fact that there happened to be one right before COVID wouldn't be very meaningful. But if there aren't one a year, then it is highly significant that something happened. It's a conspicuous piece of evidence. Of what? I don't know. But I think we need to understand how how it works. >> Do you hear this? Crimson Contagion was a joint exercise conducted from January to August 2019 in which numerous national, state, and local and private organizations in the US participated in order to test the capacity of the federal government and 12 states to respond to a severe pandemic of influenza originating in China. Whoa. >> I never even heard anybody talk about that. There's an article posted in the New York Times on March 19th, 2020 about that. >> Wow. Yeah. March 19th. >> Wow. A ca before a virus outbreak, a cascade of warnings went unheeded. Government exercise, including one last year, made it clear the US government was not ready for a pandemic like the Corona virus. But little was done. That's one way to put it. You know, it showed they weren't ready
Lied and potentially committed medical crimes criminal acts during COVID knowing what you know who would you investigate as truth seeking investigator not a conspiracy here's how I would approach it methodically core questions did key individuals and inst institutions knowingly mislead the public, suppress viable early treatments, overstate risk benefits, or prioritize institutional financial interests over evidence-based medicine potentially causing unnecessary harm or deaths. This is about possible malfeasants, negligence or regulatory capture, not automatically criminal acts which requires proving intent corruption or clear violation of law. The top priorities for investigating in rough order, Anthony Fouchy First one they would was Anthony Fouchy uh role his role in gain of function research funding and lab leak narrative management public statements on masks vaccines natural immunity and treatments coordination with social media and tech companies on censorship on the bus pressure culture described by insiders like Paul off it. He said that you had to be on the bus or off the bus with Fouchy. You couldn't disagree with anything he said or you were off the bus. And that's what that refers to. Uh our FDA leadership, especially former CBER director Peter Marx and senior officials handling of emergency use authorization decisions to revoke hydroxychloricquin emergency use authorization while keeping others horse and fish tank cleaner style messages
