The White House blames a few bad actors for spreading online misinformation. The speaker disagrees with the idea that wearing masks is the best way to prevent infectious diseases. They mention that getting vaccinated provides the best protection against infection. The speaker also addresses the misconception that vaccines can make people worse. They mention the possibility of future challenges in infectious diseases and the need for rapid response to new threats. The speaker denies funding gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and denies lying before Congress.

Speaker 0: White House pointed to an aggressive online misinformation effort by a handful of bad actors. Misinformation on social media is counting people. Do you agree?
Speaker 1: Best way for me to prevent getting an infectious disease is what? Wearing a mask? No. No. No.
Right now, people should not be there's no reason to be walking around with a mask. Should you be wearing 2 masks or 1 mask. There's nothing wrong with people wearing 2 masks. Can we make a general that doesn't have scientific basis yet? No.
Please wear a mask. The optimal degree of protection, what you get Infection is to get vaccinated. Well, if she got the flu for 14 days, she's as protected as anybody can be because the best vaccination is to get infected Did yourself. If you're vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about Getting it in a way that's serious or transmitting it. The risk is extremely low of getting infected, of getting sick, or of transmitting it to anybody else.
When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe that they are not gonna get infected.
Speaker 0: Doctor Fauci says he has COVID again for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.
Speaker 1: Does the vaccine make you worse? What well, the latter part of what you just said is untrue. You don't get worse results from vaccinating. So worst Possible thing you could do is vaccinate somebody to prevent infection and actually make them worse. No question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases, But also there will be a surprise outbreak.
But also there will be a surprise outbreak. Anyway, so let me just go on about NIH lifts funding pause on gain of function research. I don't think this is gonna be foolproof. Things are gonna slip through. Thing that I Aspirationally, hope to be able to encounter is the ability to rapidly respond to something brand new, Whether it's a brand new pandemic or, as you mentioned, a brand new a brand new attack upon us deliberately by Bioterror, A brand new attack upon us deliberately by BioTerror.
We did not fund gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute A virology. Senator Paul, I have never lied before the congress.

If if 1 guy died of pneumonia in St. Louis tomorrow, are we gonna freak out sequence That guy distributed snot and tell everybody make a vaccine because this guy died of pneumonia?
What was it about this 1 guy that died that they said, oh my I sent this tweet to Mike Pence. Now the funny thing here is YouTube doesn't like Mike Pence. So when I pin Mike Pence to the mat and pull his pants down, YouTube kinda likes this. They think this is not Cool, so this video, this video ain't gonna get pulled down. I can kinda guarantee you that.
So here's what happens. I send this tweet and I said, why did President of the United States signed a deal with Moderna that Mike Pence is blabbing about here, January 13, 2020. Only 1 person was dead from SARS COV 2 infection in all of China. Doesn't add up, Mike. 4000 people were dying a week from influenza in America when this deal was signed.
Why is Mike Pence lying? That means you're going to hell, Mike.

Before taking office, there were bold predictions about the negative outcomes if Biden won. These included open borders, loss of the middle class, decreased safety, and high gas prices. Additionally, concerns were raised about an influx of criminal aliens, drugs, and crime in communities, as well as excessive spending on foreign nations and wars. However, the current situation does not align with these predictions. Criticism is directed towards Biden's inability to confront the extreme elements within his party and even his difficulty in leaving the stage. In summary, the speaker believes that the job is not being done well.

"The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the US government." https://t.co/2i1PGicBIC
Video Transcript AI Summary
The United States government has spread misinformation during the pandemic, such as COVID transmission through surfaces, vaccine immunity, and mask effectiveness. The Cochrane review disproves these claims. Myocarditis is more common after vaccination, not infection. Pushing boosters for young people led to FDA experts resigning. Vaccine mandates did not increase vaccination rates. Medical research has been weaponized, with CDC releasing biased studies. Public health officials were dishonest with the American people.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government. Misinformation that COVID was spread through surface transmission, that vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity, that masks were effective. Now we have the definitive Cochrane review. What do you do with that review? Cochrane is the most authoritative evidence body in all of medicine and has been for decades.
Do you just ignore it, not talk about it? That myocarditis was more common after the infection than the vaccine. Not true. It's 4 to 28 times more common after the the vaccine. That young people benefit from a booster.
Misinformation. Our 2 top experts on vaccines quit the FDA in protest over this particular issue, pushing boosters in young, healthy people. The data was never there. That's why the CDC never disclosed hospitalization rates among boosted Americans under age 50. The vaccine mandates would increase vaccination rates, the George, Mason University study shows it didn't.
It did one thing. It created never vaxxers. Over and over again, we've seen something that goes far beyond using your best judgment with the information at hand. We've seen something which is unforgivable, and that is the weaponization of medical research itself. The c CDC putting out their own shoddy studies, like their own study on natural immunity looking at one state for 2 months, when they had data for years on all 50 states, why did they only report that one sliver of data?
Why did they salami slice the giant database? Because it gave them the result they wanted. Same with masking study. Well, the data has now caught up in giant systematic reviews, and the public health officials were intellectually dishonest. They lied to the American people.
Thank you.

Diego Garcia is linked to the disappearance of the Malaysian plane, which carried scientists from the Texas Institute, some of whom had valuable patents worth $400 million. If these scientists died before their patents were granted, their rights could be transferred to someone else. The patents involved technology that could control people without injections, simply through exposure to a specific scent. This situation highlights a complex and sinister game at play, where significant advancements and potential control mechanisms are suppressed.

Speaker 0: There's one of the most evil, vicious navy bases in the history of the planet. They do stuff that will make look like Santa Claus. Doctor Deanna Garcia. So wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Sorry. Diego Garcia.
That's where that first Malaysian plane is. That's what it went. You had 4 scientists. Twenty scientists, but 4 had filed for patents. It was malady, but they worked out of Austin, Texas for Texas Institute.
And the ones behind that plane was Texas Institute to govern born, who made the money. And everybody was stupid enough to believe that a plane, almost a block long, can just disappear. But the electronics we have, all the technology. So we got 4 of those topsiders that had powerful patents worth 4 $100,000,000. So if 1, 2, 3 of us and your brother, 4, we filed for patents.
And then there's a friend of yours who's with us. So 5 of us. If we die before the patent is granted, then your brother who wasn't on the plane with us, he knows tomorrow. So those 4 scientists and the 5th person was to call out who couldn't. They were all not.
And so what I'm saying is, this is this is a game. And if you can't follow that thread, then you don't you don't see it. It's crazy. But with the suppress it. What were the patents for?
Well, the patents was you heard people talk about they're gonna one day inject you and can control you. Well, these guys come up with something they don't have to inject. They just put in this room and you come in and you smell it. Yes. That's what they're for.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Criticism of science often targets me, but vaccination significantly reduces the risk of serious illness and transmission. While masks may provide limited benefit, they can offer reassurance during outbreaks. School closures have impacted children's mental health, but I didn't recommend shutting everything down; it was a difficult decision due to economic consequences. The origins of COVID-19 are debated, with some suggesting a lab leak. However, the NIH has not funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute. Claims about enhancing a bat coronavirus for human transmissibility are disputed; the focus is on research that alters transmissibility and pathogenicity. Misunderstandings persist, but I stand by the scientific approach.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: But they're really criticizing science because I represent science. If you're vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about getting it in a way that's serious or transmitting. That is true. That is correct, Chris. It'll need to protect you completely against infection, and the chances are very likely that you'll not be able to transmit it to other people.
The risk is extremely low of transmitting it to anybody else. Full stock vaccinated people are clearly capable of transmitting the infection. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. If people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it. I often myself wear 2 masks.
Speaker 1: And I'm quoting you now. At the population level, masks work at the margins maybe 10%. To hear that they only work at the margins maybe 10% would make a lot of people ask, okay, then why was I wearing a mask?
Speaker 0: You're really attacking not only doctor Anthony Fauci, you're attacking science when you say that this is gonna go away tomorrow like magic when you know that there's no chance it's gonna just disappear. We hope this just goes away, burns itself out.
Speaker 1: So my question is why weren't you straight with the American people about this to begin with?
Speaker 0: So the bottom line is it's a guesstimate. I gave a range.
Speaker 1: It seemed in that quote to suggest that you were basing your, your recommendation on polling and what people could accept. Is that not what you meant?
Speaker 0: No. I mean, it's it's a bit of that.
Speaker 1: We're seeing all of these school closures around the country. Is that the right move for children and families?
Speaker 2: Yeah. No.
Speaker 0: And I think what's going on right now is is generally an appropriate approach. You wanna start doing something to socially distance yourself. How dramatic that is, closing schools and doing other things should be proportionate. It went too far that particularly for kids, who who couldn't go to school except remotely, that it's forever damaged. Well, I don't think it's forever irreparably damaged anyone.
Speaker 3: The US surgeon general has called it an urgent public health crisis, a decline in the mental health of kids across the country. According to the CDC, the rates of suicide, self harm, anxiety, and depression are up among adolescents.
Speaker 0: And the record will show, Neil, that we didn't recommend shutting everything down. First of all, I didn't recommend locking anything down. I recommended to the president that we shut the country down, and that was very difficult decision because I knew it would have serious economic consequences, which it did. Yeah. Because if you look at the people that are politicizing me, they're somebody that all the way over on one level.
But there are a lot of other people who look upon me the way they should as a nonpolitical person that I am. They're not doing it because they say they don't wanna do it. They're Republicans. They don't like to be told what to do. Right.
And we gotta break that. But now is the time to do what you're told. Where did this virus come from, do you think, today? Did it come from a lab? Was it man made?
When you have the animal human interface and you have animals that come out of the wild that are sold at these open, what they call them, wet market.
Speaker 3: Place of origin was not within the market itself. No. I don't
Speaker 0: think you could say that.
Speaker 4: There's a report today that another intelligence arm of the US government, this is inside our energy department, has joined the FBI in concluding that COVID began with a lab leak in China.
Speaker 0: That the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute.
Speaker 2: We now know that a bat coronavirus was enhanced in the lab. The National Institutes of Health acknowledged that it funded research of a virus that was studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The experiment unexpectedly, we're told, made a bat coronavirus more contagious than the original naturally occurring one.
Speaker 5: Take an animal virus and you increase the responsibility to humans. Right. You're saying that's not gain a phone?
Speaker 0: Yeah. That is correct. And and, senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly, and I wanna say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about.
Speaker 5: They took animal viruses that only occur in animals, and they increased their transmissibility to humans. How you can say that is not gain of function?
Speaker 0: It is not. What we're talking about now is the gain of function research in studies that increase predominantly the transmissibility as well as pathogenesis and alteration of host range of the virus. But he's lying here, senator. It is you. I have to laugh at that.
I should be prosecuted.

Speaker 0: It is not. What we're talking about now is the gain of function research in studies that increase predominantly the transmissibility as well as pathogenesis and alteration of host range of the virus. But he's lying here, senator. It is you. I'd have to laugh at that.
I should be prosecuted.
