Fauci

I have seen reports that Fauci and other NIH wheels are able to collect royalties from drug companies.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corn...receive-royalty-payments-from-drug-companies/

Imo, this should be the focus of a congressional investigation. The tax payers fund research, the benefit of the research is given to select pharma companies, the pharma companies submit a potential new drug for approval to the NIH, the NIH employees know if the new drug is approved, they'll collect royalties, new drugs are approved and the director of the NIH censors debate on the efficacy of cheaper treatments and collects millions. What could go wrong?

Not calling you out, but that’s not how drug discovery/ approval works.
 
This is not a smart idea.

Trump sets free 1,500 violent followers, then removes the security detail for his “enemies”. What could go wrong?

Bolton, Fauci, etc. are not Trump’s enemies, they just don’t do what he says and he doesn’t like that.

In a private business, you need people who support your vision. However, in the government of a free republic, you need people who have differing ideas and a loyalty to the country, not to a man.

Well of course my synopsis is overly simplistic but it does appear Fauci and other top administrators have been receiving royalties from Pharma companies and we know Fauci and others were encouraging people from age groups under 30 that were at basically zero risk from covid to take the jab.

If the campaign was encouraging people over 50 to take the jab and people under 30 to discuss their risk factors with their doctors, it wouldn't look as suspicious. Otoh, when you promote lies like 100% safe 100% effective, take the jab and stop the spread as well as grant immunity to the drug companies for vax injuries, I'd say you need some light shined in your direction.

I agree.

The Covid policies were heavy handed for sure. I’m willing to show some grace because we had not dealt with a global pandemic in over 100 years. I actually was really surprised at the bravery of doctors, nurses and hospital employees who continue to work with people that were catching what was, essentially at the time, a fatal disease. I am also eternally grateful to the US pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Yes, the big, bad, EVIL, MEAN pharmaceutical companies that saved so many millions of lives.

The disease showed no/ very low lethality the younger you were, so I also was surprised that kids were recommended to get the vaccine. That being said, we didn’t know how it would mutate and the side effects from the vaccine are completely minuscule.

Where I am NOT willing to give any grace, and part of the reason I voted for Trump this time, it’s because crazy Democrats decided that because there was a respiratory virus going around… It was illegal for landlords to evict people who did not pay their rent. It took me two years to evict a tenant who owes me over $22,000. And of course, this person is a complete bum. So they’ll never pay anything even though I have sued them. That was also the genesis behind the mass squatting situation that our country is starting to crawl out of now.

The statist leanings of Democrats really shone through and it’s a reminder what power will do if left unchecked.

I think we knew very early on that the over 70 crowd and those with multiple co morbidities were largely the at risk group. By the time the vax was available, we knew health teens weren't experiencing much more than common cold like symptoms at worst.

Maybe Fauci and his associates can justify encouraging me to have my 10 yr old (at the time) granddaughter jabbed but I'd like to hear the reasoning under oath and subject to cross examination. Maybe they can explain why the idea of natural immunity was inferior to vax immunity was pushed but from where I'm sitting now, the push to vax healthy children appears it could have been motivated as much by selling jabs as protecting kids from a virus.

You bring up totally reasonable questions.

Watch out… Bringing up anything close to a reasonable conversation will get you labeled as a “lib”.

I used to look multiple times per day at the statistics on the Department of Health website for the state of Georgia. Something like 87% of people who die were over age 55. And 95% of people who die were over age 40. So essentially, if you were under age 40, there was a minuscule chance of you dying from this disease.

However, you need to remember what we were dealing with at the time. Even though younger people survived at a much higher rate, they were only slightly less likely to go into the hospital in respiratory distress. And our hospitals were filling up and didn’t even have enough rooms available.

Do you remember when China built an entire hospital in 36 hours from modular components? Our country is not even with it enough to be able to pull something like that off.

In the Internet conspiracy theories about Dr. Fauci or beyond absurd. I listen to Joe Rogan‘s podcast pretty frequently, Joe Rogan spreads more misinformation about Dr. Fauci than almost anyone, which then gets amplified on Twitter.
 
I hope the little weasel takes a dirt nap in the near future, hopefully from covid!

Bureaucrats (Fauci) who sucked the tit of public funding for 4 decades shouldn't get a security detail until death...they should have saved enough money to live in a gated community, and ask themselves if it might have been something they done to make so many people hate himself,... Fauci has enough money to order door dash for life and have the maid pick it up so that he never deals with another random human again from the outside

Whistleblowers get no protection and become excommunicated in their industry for speaking truth,..and have to live in a step uncle's camper off the grid and deal with their own PTSD without help from anyone,...and set up booby traps for prying eyes and private eyes

I will not shed a tear for fauci

What do you mean whistleblowers get no protection?

I take it. You are not familiar with all of the “whistleblower protections“?

You have read a lot of bulletin material on walls of HR offices about whistleblower protections,...but you shouldn't believe every bulletin you see written on an HR office wall,...

When millions of dollars are at stake, those HR bulletin pages about the law don't mean a damn thing,...and their exists an industry of knuckle draggers to do the dirty work to prevent future legal issues for the corporation

I wish the world was as nice and sweet as you imagine it

I don’t have any idea what we are talking about at this point. ???

However, I personally know a corporate whistleblower who won a $3.5 million settlement and kept his job. So when you say the protections aren’t there, you’re just wrong.

Most of the time your takes are fair and reasonable, but I can’t take you serious when you say “1500 violent followers”. It’s simply not true. If just even 10% of these so called violent followers were indeed violent there would have been many police injured. There were not. Once the flood gates opened there were just a bunch of dumbasses walking around the capital acting like they were drunk high school kids on a field trip. If we want to be honest and talk about true violence, let’s talk about the George Floyd Riots.

“Looting and arson were common during the period studied. The 68 cities and counties reported that they experienced 2,385 incidents of looting and 624 incidents of arson, including 97 police vehicles burned.

More than 2,035 law enforcement officers were injured at the protests and riots during the time frame studied. The most common weapon used by the rioters against officers in the reporting cities and counties were thrown projectiles, including rocks, bricks, glass bottles, and frozen water bottles. The report says violent protesters often used a front line of peaceful protesters as human shields while they assaulted officers with thrown objects.”

And nearly 20 people lost their lives!

And guess what

Jack Shit was done about it

All in the name of social justice bullshit.

I literally got banned here during the BLM riots, so no one hates them more than me.

But every post on this board is the same thing. Explaining away bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. This is a downward spiral for thr country.

I am still waiting for an explanation from anyone about why it’s okay to take a baseball bat and hit a police officer with it.

I don’t want to see anyone here ever claim to support law enforcement. Because if you support these pardons, you do not.

Fauci is not only an enemy of Trump but all of the American people. He should be prosecuted.

And, you said 1,500 'violent followers'. Most of those folks were not violent but just made their way into the capitol.

Bolton....war mongerer...amazing you would defend that guy.

You're right, there weren't 1500 violent followers. There were only about 600 who were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding LEO. At least 140 cops were assualted by Trump's rioters using firearms, stun guns, tasers, crowbars, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a knife, a massive ‘Trump’ billboard, ‘Trump’ flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device.

According to U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly: “Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021. What occurred that day is preserved for the future through thousands of contemporaneous videos, transcripts of trials, jury verdicts, and judicial opinions analyzing and recounting the evidence through a neutral lens. Those records are immutable and represent the truth, no matter how the events of January 6 are described by those charged or their allies.”

Any unauthorized person who was in the Capitol building that day was there in support of President Trump and those who were violent. And now, because of the pardons/commutations, all these people who committed crimes against the United States of America are back on the streets.

I have a newsflash for that judge. Three yrs in prison for assaulting a police officer that didn't suffer life altering injuries isn't out of line and is generally more severe than the usual time served for the offense. Yeah, there may have been a few dozen instigators that were very aggressive that may have warranted a 10 yr sentence and paroled after 4 or 5 yrs but let's not pretend the DOJ wasn't trying to send a message and ultimately trying to destroy a political phenomenon. Releasing convicted people back on the streets is what we do. What we aren't supposed to do is target one group for harsher penalties for the same conduct.

Imo, if the FBI would have eschewed charging Johnny Floyd and Bessie May from Podunk Iowa that walked thru an open door and strolled thru capital and focused on the 2 or 3 hundred that did become violent, nobody would have cared. However, with the DOJ going scorched earth and the J6 committee putting on a fictional Hollywood show trial caused a lot of folks to fear the actions of the government more so than the actions of a couple of thousand protesters.

"Whistleblower" is a broad term,...

a "qui-tam" whistleblower is someone who was/is an employee of an offending company and they align themselves with the federal govt usually about govt contract corruption and they receive 20 percent of the payback that goes back to the govt

Then you have whistleblower employees who go to media or investigate journalists without the expectation of payout but to just tell the truth.

Then you have guys like Ralph Nader who are not employees but investigative reporters who blow the whistle based on info from its employees. When Ralph blew the whistle on general motors in the 1960s,.. private eyes hired from gm spent 3 months figuring out Ralphs family, past work, history,...etc to dig dirt on him in order to slander him in the future but also intimidate him by letting Ralph know he was under surveillance so that Ralph might stop pushing against general motors

Back in those days, it took a lot of work to learn about a person,..in Ralphs case at least 3 months of grunt work including going to Ralph's hometown. Nowadays you don't have to make false calls or wiretapping to learn about someone, people put their entire work history on LinkedIn and their family/friend network in Facebook so it much easier to harass and intimidate people into shutting up,..and in the digital age corporate security is smart enough not to leave behind any fingerprints like general motors did when they had to pay Ralph Nader big money in court for harassment and invasion of privacy.

Corporate security advances at a more exponential rate than whistleblower/worker protections
