As Iowahawk described the process, the radical, tyrannical left

1, takes over a respected institution, eating it up from within, and

2, then wears the skin-suit of the now-devoured institution, demanding respect.

People are no longer giving respect to skin-suited "expert" institutions.

As if we needed more proof that COVID destroyed the public health profession, the public response to this year's booster doses is as good as you're going to get.

Last year, the CDC, FDA, Dr. Fauci and other health "experts" spent months excoriating the public to get an updated, bivalent booster. They were adamant that those boosters, despite little testing and overhyped results, were necessary to prevent a significant winter surge and increased transmission. Talk about an illusion of control.

Almost no one listened.

Despite immediately authorizing the boosters for virtually all ages, with little justification, just 17% of the population got their latest COVID shot. Whether through skepticism of the "experts," immunity from prior infection, or the realization that the vaccines are ineffective at preventing infection, the public overwhelmingly ignored public health advice.

...

Now, more than a month after they were authorized based on testing on eight mice, we have an update on what percentage have gotten the new doses, after relentless excoriation from the CDC.

And it's low. Really low.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 7 million Americans have received the latest COVID booster dose.

The population of the United States is estimated to be roughly 336 million, meaning that just 2% of the country's gotten the new vaccine. 2%. It's hard to imagine a more direct repudiation of the "experts" than that.

Very good discussion about covid injuries and constant vaccine misinformation being spread by skin-suited "news" companies, featuring Dr. Drew Pinksy, below. Skip to 9:30 for the discussion of excess deaths being up. He points out that after an epidemic, excess deaths usually go down, because the epidemic already killed so many of the less-healthy people.

And yet excess deaths are up.

Pinsky doesn't know why this is. What he does know is that this should be sparking a frenzied scramble to find out why excess deaths are up -- but the medical establishment is just pretending it isn't happening.

He notes that some have suggested that mental health problems may account for this increase in deaths. Maybe so, but that would also be due to the draconian lockdowns the "experts" forced on us. So the "experts" are just refusing to acknowledge the problem.

They know that in one way or another, they caused the excess deaths.

A professor discusses the establishment's absolute refusal to account for, or even look at, the mortality data. He isn't talking about excess deaths post-covid, but about the medical establishment's misinformation about what caused the excess deaths in the beginning of covid. He points out that you can't have spikes in mortality at the beginning of the spread of a virus. Viruses take time to spread and kill, after all.

So something else caused the very-early spikes in deaths.

Possibly mistakes made by the medical establishment, like aggressively putting people on respirators.

But again: They don't want to look into that.

Finally, Jeffrey Sachs, an economist, was asked to form a panel to investigate covid's origins. He went into the project believing "the experts" that covid evolved naturally.

He discovered all the "experts" were liars: Covid was created at the Wuhan lab, using gene manipulation techniques pioneered by the US.

He points out that a US lab, Rocky Mountain Lab, was experimenting in bat-born viruses at the same time covid began spreading. And Anthony Fauci has connections to Rocky Mountain Lab. He suggests that it is possible the US developed the virus, and then sent it to China for testing, where it leaked. Another possibility is that China merely extended/completed initial bat-virus research begun in America.

Key revelation: A furin cleavage site was added to a SARS virus in 2005. Experimenters discovered that adding the furin cleavage site to a SARS (bat) virus made the virus capable of rapidly infecting humans.

And then in 2020, what a coincidence, a bat virus that begins breaking out around the Wuhan respiratory virus lab, which contains a specialized bat-virus unit, has a furin cleavage site which everyone who looked at it initially says must have been added by humans starts rapidly infecting humans.

Another good revelation: Funding from the US government often doesn't fund research going forward. In fact, it funds research already done. They do the research, then they apply for grants to pay for it, retrospectively.

So when Fauci claims that some research wasn't funded by the US based on when the grant was issued, he's lying. He knows that the timeline for funding is very rubbery.

There will be no trust given to these "experts" until they offer the public a full, honest accounting, and admit to their mistakes, deliberate lies, and their own creation of covid-19.
