Leaked Audio Reveals Former NIH Director Francis Collins Touting Vaccine Mandates, Threatening Unemployment On Those Who Resist the Vaccine

Former National Institutes of Health (NIH) chief Francis Collins, who was also recently appointed as President Joe Biden’s new science advisor, expressed support for vaccine mandates, emphasizing that people’s employment should be threatened.

Leaked audio obtained by The Daily Wire appeared to shatter Collins’ political neutrality, revealing that he not only had a deeply held conviction about the persuasive power of vaccine mandates but also had a particular dislike for former President Donald Trump. The audio originated from an Institute of Politics event on October 26 of last year, which was hosted by Christianity Today theologian Russell Moore at the University of Chicago. Institute of Politics was founded by David Axelrod, an adviser to former President Barack Obama.

After Moore introduced Collins as a personal friend and member of his book club, the talk segued into a discussion about vaccine mandates, during which the former NIH director said that there was “no question” in his “mind that the mandates are legal” and that people should have their employment threatened.

“The US government does have the authority to mandate vaccinations if there is an outbreak that is threatening people, because it’s not just about you, it’s about the people you’re going to infect,” Collins claimed.

Collin said this even though a bevy of evidence showed at the time that the vaccinated could still be infected with the virus and spread it to others.

“Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn’t get them?” Collins reportedly asked himself rhetorically before answering, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.”

Collins recalled how he used intimidation tactics at the NIH to push the hesitant employees, approximately 2,000 out of 46,000, into getting the vaccine, telling them they were “in serious danger of being fired in the next month ... ”

And they call Trump a Nazi.

“Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn't get them?” Collins reportedly asked himself rhetorically before answering, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.”

Mandates don't “convince” people any more than a robber with a gun convinces people they want to freely give their wallets away.

Both he and Fauci belong in prison.

This C.S. Lewis has this guy figured out: Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He is a mass murderer. He helped destroy our economy and millions of peoples well being and savings.

Collins and Fauci should be awaiting trial right now.

instead, everyone’s focused on RussiaRussiaRussia.

the covid scammers getting away with murder.

I’m not sure how he can blame Trump for killing people when it was Trump who was Pres. when the vaccine was concocted.
This is a very sick and evil man. Very disturbing that Henry has another job in the WH.

C.S. Lewis was also wary of science in the name of politics:

“Again, the new oligarchy must more and more base its claim to plan us on its claim of knowledge. . . . This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists. . . .

Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects. Let scientists tell us about science. But government involves questions about the good of man, and justice....

On just the same ground I dread government in the name of science. That is how tyrannies come in. In every age the men who want us under their thumb, if they have any sense, will put forward the particular pretension which the hopes and fears of that age render most potent....Now it will certainly be science.”

In this sense, Lewis perceived science as the ultimate threat to freedom in modern society.

[dudemack]

He definitely got that one right.

Lawsuits and criminal charges…

“specialists speaking outside their special subjects.”

Think it was Thomas Sowell who once said that the problem with many intellectuals is that they think they’re experts in every subject and don’t realize that once they get outside their narrow fields of expertise, they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Recently saw film of Clarence Thomas being lectured at his Senate confirmation hearing by a smiling, smarmy Joe Biden, sitting next to Ted Kennedy, on the error and dangers of believing in the “natural law”. (Natural law theory blows out of the water the arguments people like Biden make about abortion and other immoral things his type defends only being matters of religious doctrine.) During the clip a voiceover of Thomas was played in which he said: The hard thing about hearings is you have to look like you’re listening intently to people who have no idea what they’re talking about.

C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton’s thoughts hold up so well. They were geniuses at unmasking the motivations at the root of certain people.

More people dead due to Covid under Biden than Trump. According to Biden’s own words, he doesn’t deserve to be president based on that alone.

Christianity Today's involvement doesn't surprise me one bit.

I didn’t lose my job (consultant) , but I did lose out on a couple of projects as they wouldn’t let me on the site without the jab. I’m not sure how long that will last (Washington State Highway Department). I know that I can now do work for King County projects which I couldn’t before.

For the Highway Department they won’t even let consultants work remotely, who will never be on the site! It isn’t about health and safety, it is about power and control.

Former National Institutes of Health (NIH) chief Francis Collins to be a defendant at Nuremberg II.

“It isn’t about health and safety, it is about power and control.”

They made that abundantly clear by exempting anti-Trump demonstrations early on from any precautions, but mostly when 2 years later it was obvious they had stopped NOTHING.

Thank you for posting this. I looked over both articles and could not find the audio. Where did I miss it?

Francis ... your name has been noted and is on the list of “criminals”.
