@HHSGov

@SenRandPaul questions Susan Monarez on the efficacy of childhood COVID vaccines — and he brings the receipts:

[RandFan]

This is his full 5 mins in HELP committee and he torches the ousted official:-

"Does the COVID vaccine reduce the rate of death for those under 18?"

"It can"

"That's a ridiculous answer!"

Sorry for another post. He's all over twitter right now! 😂

--- All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

As one watches "testimony" in and to Congress, one seldom finds simplicity.

In all fairness, if you had been part of a conspiracy to force an experimental drug on children who were healthy and not at risk and forcing them to isolate and wear masks all the time, resulting in potential permanent development issues, then had been lying and covering up for years ... you're kind of committed to keeping the lies going, wouldn't you say?

This applies to most people in government, the NEA, all the rank and file teachers who demanded this, all of the government health institutions, the AMA ... so many.

Alas, there will be accountability, ever. It's too big, too many interests in memory holing it all. There will probably be some deathbed confessions some day, as people start to think about what they did and how that effects their prospects in the afterlife. But then it will be basically out of mind.

“ Alas, there will be accountability, ever. ”

I feel pretty certain that you meant “there will be NO accountability, ever”

I use voice activation and try to edit carefully. The most common change in what I have said is something that flips the positive negative meaning of my statement. One of the simplest ways is to leave out the word “no”. Another is to change the word “not“ into the word “now”.

Whatever program is controlling voice activation on an iPhone almost never included the word Trump in their three-word prompt after the word president during his entire first term.

Of course, nationwide acceptance of the idea that the government of "The Greatest Country in the World" played a front and center role in the murder of its citizenry would basically end this experiment that started in 1776.

I agree with Rand Paul - an absolutely ridiculous answer. In many infectious diseases you have a U-shaped mortality curve; the youngest and the oldest are most at risk. But that was NOT the case with COVID-19. I followed the statistics in Sweden, but I have no reason to believe it was different anywhere else. The risk of mortality (or serious illness) increased with every added 10-year age, but it was not until above 50 years that there were a significant mortality.

The very few children who died had severe underlying diseases and there the risk/benefit of vaccination would have been in favour of vaccination. But for normal healthy children?! NO WAY!

If this bureaucrat from CDC didn't know this she is stupid as a box of rocks. If she knew but tried to obfuscate she is evil!

Oh wow.

He kicked her ass.
