COVID

Investigative journalist and Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe recently exposed the vaccine industrial complex acknowledging the shortcomings of its COVID-19 vaccines. O’Keefe recorded pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson’s Lead Scientist in Regulatory Affairs, Joshua Rys, admitting that the company did not exhaustively test its COVID-19 vaccine and that it was not actually effective.

Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine was among the top approved injections that many Americans were forced to take to continue working during the height of the pandemic. 

Many Americans lost their jobs when they questioned the efficacy of these vaccines or refused to take them altogether. However, authorities assured Americans that all approved vaccines were well tested before distributing them to the public and were effective in preventing the spread of COVID.

“While public officials claimed the vaccines were ‘safe and effective,’ Rys pushed back,” OMG reported. “There’s no proof. None of that stuff was safe and effective.” 

Many vaccinated individuals contracted COVID-19 while others developed complications linked to the vaccines. However, the political elite, backed by the media and big tech, denied there were any issues with the vaccine, instead blaming “disinformation” from “right-wing conservative conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers.”

However, the J&J lead scientist confirmed what many Americans feared, despite assurances from elite politicians, bureaucrats, and big pharma.

“We didn’t do the typical tests,” said Rys, adding that the company abandoned the typical clinical process for the COVID-19 vaccine by knowingly bypassing standard testing protocols under pressure from the U.S. government and public demand. 

“This was just, ‘let’s test it on some lab models… and just throw it to the wind and see what happens,’” he added.

Based on his remarks, U.S. authorities knew that the vaccine was not well tested. Nonetheless, they knowingly misled Americans and imposed punitive measures on those who questioned their efficacy or refused to take them.

According to Rys, the government fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine uptake through Operation Warp Speed, which was determined to solve the problem at all costs.

“The government is like, ‘We need help… You’re solving this problem,’” he said. “People panic, so they try to solve it in whatever way they think is good.”

However, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson asserted that pharmaceutical companies are required to follow strict testing protocols, “even during a public health emergency.”

The spokesperson added that, during health emergencies, pharmaceutical companies must demonstrate that any exceptions outweigh the risks of rolling out their vaccines. Additionally, health authorities closely monitor the vaccines after their rollout to ensure that they remain safe for public use.

“Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use,” the spokesperson added.

However, the aggressiveness with which authorities tried to silence concerned individuals, including scientists, raises serious questions about the governments’s complicity in light of the recent admission.

Trump’s HHS Secretary, FRK Jr., has promised to restore the gold standard in medical science to ensure that politics do not direct health decisions. His vision aligns with Trump’s executive order to restore gold standard science across federal departments.

A “new” COVID variant is making the rounds through media in early June, just weeks after China and the World Health Organization (WHO) manipulated most of the world into signing a legally-binding contract to hand their unelected officials control during the next major pandemic.

The corporate news media needs you to believe and be scared of a new COVID variant called NB.1.8.1, according to NPR, but there were only 518 cases across 22 countries, as of May. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending parents talk to their doctors about having their children vaccinated against the disease, despite research proving that the COVID-19 vaccine causes long COVID and other horrific post-COVID vaccine syndromes (PCVS) in a currently unknown number of people. Experts who spoke with Million Voices on condition of strict anonymity estimate that as many as 20 million Americans could currently be suffering from PCVS and have no idea.

WHO — who stand to gain the most control and money in the face of another “pandemic” — claim the variant has been around since mid-February 2025.

“There has been an increase in SARS-CoV-2 activity globally, based on SARS-CoV-2 data reported to the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) from sentinel surveillance sites,” WHO wrote in a disease alert. “As of 11 May 2025, the test positivity rate is 11% across 73 reporting countries, areas and territories. This level matches the peak observed in July 2024 (12% from 99 countries) and marks a rise from 2% reported by 110 countries back in mid-February 2025.”

It is unclear how much those individuals and institutions reporting cases COVID-19 are getting paid per positive test. Hospitals and healthcare providers earned huge amounts of money during the COVID-19 pandemic, with some calling the creation of COVID and its subsequent testing and largely ineffective treatments a “windfall” for Big Pharma, according to Fierce Healthcare.

Pandemic Power Grab 2.0?

The alleged variant appeared just weeks the creation of a legally-binding agreement that would essentially allow WHO to create and operate a type of globalized “New World Order,” predominantly funded by China, if a new global pandemic emerged. The timing on this is likely not coincidental, though it is extremely frustrating to realize that WHO members and the rest of the world think we’re clearly stupid enough to fall for this situation a second time.

Thankfully, President Donald Trump refused to sign the agreement. If he had, the U.S. would lose all sovereign control, essentially rendering us a non-nation, existing in a “global surveillance superstate.”

What Is COVID NB.1.8.1?

NB.1.8.1 presents with symptoms similar to previous COVID variants and other flu-like illnesses:

Fever or chills
Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea

Taiwan (also known as China’s next nation to invade) reportedly weekly highs of COVID-19 cases, with 63,000 COVID-19 related medical visits and 132 severe cases in late May, according to Focus Taiwan.

The North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled that a mother can sue the public school system and a doctors’ group for allegedly giving her son a COVID-19 vaccine without her consent. The new ruling reverses a lower-court decision that a federal health emergency law prevented Emily Happel and her son, Tanner Smith, from filing a lawsuit. The mother, who sought litigation after her son, Smith, received an unwanted vaccine during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, can now take legal action.

The lawsuit said Smith was vaccinated without consent at age 14 in August 2021, despite his opposition at a testing and vaccination clinic at a Guilford County high school. The lawsuit adds that the teenager went to the clinic to be tested for COVID-19 but did not anticipate that the clinic would also administer vaccines. Despite telling the clinic that he did not want a vaccination and also did not have a parental consent form to receive one, they injected him anyway.

Happel and Smith filed the lawsuit against the Guilford County Board of Education and the Old North State Medical Society, alleging that their constitutional rights were violated. A panel of the intermediate-level appeals court ruled unanimously that the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act shielded the school district and the physicians’ group, Fox News reported.

The law grants broad protections and immunity to individuals and organizations performing “countermeasures” during public health emergencies. The state’s high court noted on Friday that an emergency declaration in response to COVID-19 was made in March 2020, activating the federal law’s immunity provisions.

However, Chief Justice Paul Newby wrote that the law did not prevent the mother and son from suing on allegations that their rights in the state constitution had been violated, adding that the parent has the right to control their child’s upbringing and the “right of a competent person to refuse forced, nonmandatory medical treatment.”

Newby said the law’s plain text prompted a majority of justices to conclude that its immunity only covers tort injuries when someone seeks damages for injuries caused by negligent or wrongful actions.

“Because tort injuries are not constitutional violations, the PREP Act does not bar plaintiffs’ constitutional claims,” he said.

Newby’s opinion was backed by the court’s conservative justices, including two who suggested that the immunity found in federal law should be narrowed further. However, liberal Associate Justice Allison Riggs said state constitutional claims should be preempted from federal law and criticized the court’s majority for a “fundamentally unsound” interpretation of the Constitution.

“Through a series of dizzying inversions, it explicitly rewrites an unambiguous statute to exclude state constitutional claims from the broad and inclusive immunity,” Riggs said.

Sen. Ron Johnson isn’t wasting any time now that Republicans hold the Senate. The Wisconsin lawmaker, who chairs the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has officially subpoenaed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for crucial documents on vaccine safety, including emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci, as reported by The Blaze.

Johnson announced the move on Wednesday, coinciding with the Senate Finance Committee’s hearing on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for a role at HHS. With Republicans regaining control of the Senate after the 2024 elections, Johnson made it clear that his oversight efforts are just beginning.

“Yesterday, I subpoenaed HHS for documents on the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic — including a subset of Dr. Fauci’s emails — and the development and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines,” Johnson stated.

“Many of these records should have been turned over to me years ago, but the Biden administration opted to keep Congress and the public in the dark.”

Johnson has long called for transparency in federal health agencies, and he didn’t hold back in his latest statement.

“It is well past time to bring accountability and transparency back to our U.S. health agencies,” he wrote on social media, adding that he expects HHS to comply fully with the subpoena.

For years, Johnson has been pressing for answers. He revealed that he had sent approximately 70 oversight letters regarding the federal COVID response, but the Biden administration either ignored or inadequately addressed them.

Now, he’s putting real pressure on officials to respond, giving them a deadline of February 18.

As Johnson turns up the heat, one of the more curious details of the Biden administration’s final days has resurfaced—Joe Biden’s last-minute preemptive pardon for Dr. Fauci. In what many saw as a shield against incoming scrutiny, Biden issued the pardon to protect Fauci from any potential legal fallout under a Trump administration.

In a statement at the time, Biden defended the move, claiming that investigations into Fauci were “baseless and politically motivated” and only served to “wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families.”

Biden insisted that even innocent individuals suffer lasting reputational damage from such probes, even if they are ultimately cleared.

Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, stepped down from his role in 2023. But his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic remains under scrutiny, with Johnson and other Republicans determined to get answers about government policies, vaccine safety, and public health decisions that shaped the nation’s response.

Johnson made it clear before the election that if Republicans took control, subpoenas would follow. “Just days after being named chairman of the Subcommittee, I have kept my word,” he stated. Now, with his first major subpoena issued, all eyes are on whether HHS will comply—or if they’ll continue stonewalling under new leadership in Washington.

The Trump administration reinstated service members earlier this week who were previously discharged as a result of the military’s COVID-19 vaccination mandates.

More than 8,000 servicemembers were kicked out of the U.S. military following a 2021 COVID-19 vaccination policy that required everyone within the Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Defense (DoD) receive a dose of the experimental drug. Many of those troops cited religious and personal reasons for their refusal, but were still discharged, according to the Washington Stand.

In an Executive Order posted on Monday, Trump wrote that the “vaccine mandate was an unfair, overbroad, and completely unnecessary burden on our service members.” It is also believed that Trump is working to get “full back pay for each servicemember that was discharged,” another outlet noted.

Keeping To Promises

Trump said during his inaugural address that he would “reinstate any servicemembers who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate, with full back pay.” 

That promise has at least come true in-part with this latest ruling. “Further, the military unjustly discharged those who refused the vaccine, regardless of the years of service given to our Nation, after failing to grant many of them an exemption that they should have received. Federal Government redress of any wrongful dismissals is overdue,” he added in the EO.

Other Military-Related Orders

On the same day, Trump also ordered an Iron Dome for America, similar to that used by Israel to protect from attack by “ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.”

He further removed those who claim to be “transgender” from service, citing a longstanding DoD policy that servicemembers are ““[f]ree of medical conditions or physical defects that may reasonably be expected to require excessive time lost from duty for necessary treatment or hospitalization.” 

“For the sake of our Nation and the patriotic Americans who volunteer to serve it, military service must be reserved for those mentally and physically fit for duty.  The Armed Forces must adhere to high mental and physical health standards to ensure our military can deploy, fight, and win, including in austere conditions and without the benefit of routine medical treatment or special provisions,” the order added.

Finally, Trump reinstated a meritocracy-based approach wherein no “individual or group within our Armed Forces should be preferred or disadvantaged on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, color, or creed.” 

“President Trump has delivered on yet another of his campaign promises. His executive order will restore the American people’s faith and confidence in our military by offering the opportunity for those who were unfairly and improperly discharged to return to military service. Along with Secretary of Defense [Pete] Hegseth, President Trump is taking bold, decisive steps to make our military great again,” Center for Litigation at the America First Policy Institute executive director Michael Berry told the Washington Stand.

A post shared Tuesday by Riley Gaines revealed that USCIS is demanding her husband receive the “COVID-19 vaccine series” in order to receive his green card.

“Just got another letter from USCIS saying they won’t give my husband his green card until he gets this Covid jab.” Gaines said in a post shared on X. “This is ridiculous. We’ve been married coming up on 3 years. We’ve spent thousands for the submitted forms to expire on their time. We’re hoping for change soon.”

She also shared a photograph of the letter her husband received from USCIS:

“When they said, ‘my body, my choice,” they lied,” Gaines wrote in a follow-up post. 

Within what felt like hours of sharing the post, Gaines returned to X to share that “USCIS has rescinded their Covid vax mandate for legal immigrants.”

“I can’t even tell you the thousands of people in the same situation who have reached out over the past few years. Promises made, promises kept. Thank you [President Donald Trump,]” she added.

John Ratcliffe, the newly confirmed director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), laid out his priorities in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News following his confirmation by the U.S. Senate on Thursday.

Ratcliffe, sworn in by Vice President J.D. Vance, emphasized the need to reform the agency, depoliticize its operations, and confront the geopolitical threats posed by China.

Ratcliffe made it clear that one of his first actions as CIA director will be addressing the agency’s lack of a formal assessment on the origins of COVID-19.

The virus, which has claimed over a million American lives, has been at the center of a heated debate over whether it originated naturally or leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

“I’ve been on record as you know in saying I think our intelligence, our science, and our common sense all really dictate that the origins of COVID was a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Ratcliffe said.

“But the CIA has not made that assessment or at least not made that assessment publicly. So I’m going to focus on that and look at the intelligence and make sure that the public is aware that the agency is going to get off the sidelines.”

The CIA has faced criticism in recent years, with allegations that analysts were bribed to dismiss the lab leak theory.

While the lab leak hypothesis has gained significant traction, the agency has yet to take an official stance, a position Ratcliffe intends to change.

Ratcliffe highlighted China as the top foreign threat to U.S. national security and vowed to provide President Donald Trump with the intelligence needed to counter Chinese aggression.

“As President Trump deals with President Xi [Jinping], he needs to be armed with the very best intelligence,” Ratcliffe said.

“If they caused or contributed to the death of a million Americans, the president needs to be armed with that.”

Ratcliffe’s stance on China is consistent with his tenure as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), during which he warned of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) influence and nefarious activities.

He co-authored a 2023 op-ed with former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Cliff Sims, detailing the growing threat posed by China.

The CIA director criticized the intelligence community for its slow response to the shifting global landscape, noting that much of the establishment remains focused on Russia, despite China emerging as the United States’ primary geopolitical adversary.

Ratcliffe argued that the U.S. intelligence and foreign policy establishment has failed to adapt to the realities of the 21st century, where China’s economic and technological advancements present a greater challenge than Russia.

“You have people who have been at the different intelligence agencies for so long and focused on the Russia threat — and, as you said, legitimately because [Vladimir] Putin is a bad guy and a regime with a huge nuclear stockpile that we need to talk about — but the Intelligence Community has been slow to adjust to the fact that China is the primary geopolitical threat we face,” Ratcliffe explained.

He cited the CCP’s influence in Washington, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood as factors that have hindered the U.S. response.

“From Washington, D.C., to Wall Street to Silicon Valley to Hollywood, there has been a desire to keep China from being labeled a bad guy because a lot of people make a lot of money from China and in China,” he said.

Ratcliffe also took aim at former CIA Director John Brennan, accusing him of steering the agency in the wrong direction during the Obama administration.

Ratcliffe’s goal, he said, is to return the CIA to its core mission of protecting U.S. national security and ensuring that intelligence is free from political interference.

As Ratcliffe takes the helm, he has signaled a commitment to tackling the major challenges posed by China, restoring accountability within the CIA, and ensuring that the agency is equipped to address the complex threats of the modern era.
