Bad Advice: 57 Covid mistakes made by U.S. public officials

Dated: January 4, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 29 Comments

      

The following is a news analysis

Would you normally continue to pay and accept advice from people with a track record like this?

US Public Officials:

  1. Funded dangerous Gain of Function research with our adversary, China, using US taxpayer money, in order to create vaccines and other medicine
  2. Denied such funding had occurred
  3. Claimed the lab theory was debunked when it hadn’t been investigated
  4. Allowed China not to cooperate with the pandemic investigation; never imposed serious sanctions or repercussions for the non-cooperation
  5. Failed to disclose their own role in Gain of Function research while publicly “debunking” U.S. involvement in it
  6. Conspired to have public officials make statements and publish papers claiming the lab theory had been debunked, when it hadn’t been
  7. Encouraged the censorship of factual information on the news and the Internet
  8. Claimed would take years for a the first Covid-19 vaccine to be released
  9. Conspired to controversialize scientists, researchers, and journalists who tell the truth about various aspects of Covid and the vaccines
  10. Falsely claimed certain gatherings, such as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, were "super spreader" events, when they were not
  11. Distorted and exaggerated statistics to make it appear as though people were infected at events when they were not
  12. Sent Covid-infected elderly from hospitals to nursing homes where they mass-infected other vulnerable residents
  13. Said masks don’t work
  14. Said masks do work
  15. Required wearing of masks
  16. Recommended wearing of more than one mask
  17. Failed to wear masks themselves, when required
  18. Said kids don’t need masks
  19. Said kids must mask
  20. Said kids don’t need to get vaccinated because their risk is so small
  21. Said kids must be vaccinated because their risk is so great
  22. Told people to isolate at home, even though that’s how most Covid cases are spread
  23. Closed parks, beaches and outdoor venues even though Covid is rarely, if ever, transmitted outside
  24. Arrested people for being outside, unmasked, even though they were among the safest population
  25. Falsely claimed that early vaccine studies showed that those with natural immunity from prior infection benefit from vaccination
  26. Covered up estimate of number of naturally-immune for many months
  27. Closed schools, against the advice of many scientists, distorting education for a generation of students
  28. Conspired to censor scientists, reporters and others who report factually on Covid therapeutics, vaccine issues.
  29. Overcounted Covid cases and deaths by counting people “with” Covid but who were not sick from Covid
  30. Shut down and destroyed the economy without improving Covid situation
  31. Caused the firing of people who cannot get or choose not to get vaccinated, even though they may have natural immunity or medical conditions that prevent them from taking vaccine risks
  32. Blanket-recommended vaccination for people who are at high risk of adverse events such as heart inflammation and blood clots
  33. Falsely claimed vaccines prevent Covid infection
  34. Falsely claimed vaccines prevent Covid spread
  35. Falsely claimed vaccinated do not get sick with Covid
  36. Falsely claimed vaccinated do not get hospitalized or die of Covid
  37. Claimed that the vaccinated who get ill with Covid would be sicker if not vaccinated, when there is no evidence that is the case with any individual
  38. Failed to provide informed consent and warn of Covid-19 vaccine side effects prior to administration
  39. Claimed vaccines are highly-effective
  40. Claimed vaccines worked well against variants
  41. Recommended up to 4 shots in one year because of vaccine ineffectiveness, while claiming vaccines are highly-effective
  42. Ignored the power of natural immunity, and the hundreds of studies supporting it
  43. Punished medical doctors who prescribe therapeutics
  44. Punished scientists who researched therapeutics
  45. Use the power and size of the federal government to bully and threaten companies into requiring vaccination despite their ineffectiveness in preventing Covid infection or spread
  46. Failed to promote effective therapeutics, which can save lives
  47. Withheld and prevented treatment and resources, based on political calculations
  48. Downplayed vaccine adverse events
  49. Ignored pleas from vaccine-injured to investigate and publicize their cases to prevent other injuries
  50. Exaggerated serious risks from Covid-19
  51. Impacted military readiness by firing those who cannot or choose not to get Covid-19 vaccine, even if naturally immune
  52. Impacted health care system capacity by firing those who cannot or choose not to get Covid-19 vaccine, even if naturally immune
  53. Impacted first responder industry by firing those who cannot or choose not to get Covid-19 vaccine, even if naturally immune
  54. Impacted education system by firing educators who cannot or choose not to get Covid-19 vaccine, even if naturally immune
  55. Recommended vaccination for healthy children and others at near zero risk of serious impact from Covid-19 illness
  56. Failed to discuss potential role of vitamins, sunshine, exercise, weight control, and healthy diet
  57. Mislabelled Covid-19 a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," in a failed propaganda campaign

In the end, for reasons only they know, these public helath officials put all of their eggs in one basket: Vaccination. And the result has been total failure: as vastly more people have gotten vaccinated, a record number have gotten Covid.

    THANK YOU! Lessons from all this?

    NEVER trust the government or the media or pharma to tell you what is good for you!!!
    When opposing views are suppressed, science is not in residence!!!
    When "expert" advice is presented, WATCH OUT. It is as bad as some religionist spouting off because God told them... False prophets are in abundance, and always have been.

    The major problem associated with Covid is people are relying on information from persons who have not treated one Covid patient. The ones who have treated Covid patients, successfully, are being ignored or blacklisted because they have been successful without using the false information coming from the FDA and CDC. The government over encourages a vaccine that does not prevent one from getting infected nor does it prevent the vaccinated from spreading the infection. Nothing is said about therapeutics such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Now a pill by Pfizer is being lauded as an EUA even though it has adverse effects with those on other medications.

      Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have been approved for decades to treat other conditions, so their safety is not a problem. They, also, only cost pennies per treatment! The new Pfizer pill has about 6 months of study and costs about $500/pill. It's, also, only about 50% effective

    In just world, many of these 'public health' officials, and their political enablers, would be prosecuted, then executed for their crimes against humanity.

    In clown world, however, they're rewarded with sweet govt. pensions, and lucrative guest hosting on cable TV.

      If the pharmaceutical companies didn't have blanket immunity from being sued, these vaccines would have never been released on the public. Yet, our government is doing everything possible to force everyone in the country (actually, the world) to be vaccinated!

    Great list, but so sad that most of the adult population is clueless due to their news sources. I live in a RED state, but the local news outlets follow the MSM Narrative. The only non-narrative segment is the weather.

        AS far as I'm concerned, this so-called climate change is a scam to get money.
        There is four seasons--spring, summer, fall and winter which the climate does
        change to fit the season.
        Don't bellies anything these democrats want to do. They just want power and money an to control all our lives on EVERYTHING!!!

    The federal government is now the monster the Constitution was created to prevent. Paper must have people. You must be belligerent even to the point of revolution to secure justice and liberty. Look around, the patriots are gone, and freedom is soon to follow. The West is dead, the light is slowly dimming daily. That’s precisely why we can’t see the danger. We have forgotten the importance of free voices and tolerance in one generation. Like a candle flickered out… we’re doomed.

    I've discovered that the most informed and competent doctor, who actually HAS COVID patients, is Dr. Peter McCullough, who is well-respected and extremely qualified in his field.

      ....and is a pioneer in research in the COVID area...with about 50 PEER_REVIEWED publications on COVID alone. How many original publications on COVID does Fauci have? Zero???
      Why do people listen to Fauci and why is Dr. McCullough black-listed?

    Sharyl Attkisson is always on her game.

    You know so much of this is intentional because the purveyors of misinformation and disinformation never admit their "errors" no matter how many times they are exposed.

    The big one to me was when they first misled people with their "case numbers" equating "positives" with actually being ill and "hospitalizations" of people "with" Covid-19 instead of "from" Covid-19.

    They're still doing it after 21 months.

    Try to bring that up with a health worker or your doctor and watch the reaction.

    I would add: Destroyed faith in the rule of law while riots were allowed during lockdown, and destroyed confidence in elections by using Covid as an excuse for mail-in ballots and shady ballot box collection sites.

    Thank you for being a reporter.

    The present cult of Scientism, with its chief High Priest Anthony Fauci, is simply a more sinister, deeper reaching version of Scientology. How about that, their names are pretty close!

    Thank you, Sharyl! Perhaps a 58th indictment could mention "asymptomatic spread" -- a canard if there ever were one. Why, even "America's doctor" admitted back in late Jan 2020 that “…the one thing historically people need to realize is that even if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, ‘asymptomatic transmission’ has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is always a symptomatic person. Even if there’s a rare asymptomatic person that might transmit, an epidemic is not driven by asymptomatic carriers.” – Dr. Anthony Fauci, January 28, 2020

    The real lesson learned from all of this is that if you are concerned about getting the Wuhan virus or currently have the Wuhan virus, then you only need to consult two resources (both involve doctors who are actually treating the virus):
