Dr. Deborah Birx served up a bombshell revelation about the efficacy of the COVID vaccines during an interview on Your World with Neil Cavuto. Birx, the former White House COVID-19 response coordinator and one of the two most recognizable spokespeople during the pandemic, along with Dr. Anthony Fauci, claimed the vaccines were overplayed and that she knew they didn’t work. While this is shocking in and of itself, it is especially tragic given how many people had their employment terminated because they refused to get an ineffective and “overplayed” vaccine.
“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection,” Birx said. “And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let’s be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the omicron surge were older, vaccinated.”
Personally, I am vaccinated and boosted. I did it not because I am considered in one of the at-risk categories for COVID but because I
was told the vaccines would prevent me from unintentionally spreading it to other people, including my parents, who are in the at-risk categories, should I contract it. Unfortunately, I still contracted COVID and still spread it to my mother. If I had known what Birx said she knew, I can safely say I would have never chosen to get vaccinated. Fortunately, my vaccination status was not a condition for my employment. Other people were not so lucky.
For example, earlier this year, the Mayo Clinic fired 700 employees who refused to get vaccinated.
“While Mayo Clinic is saddened to lose valuable employees, we need to take all steps necessary to keep our patients, workforce, visitors, and communities safe,” a Mayo Clinic spokesperson told the Washington Examiner at the time.
Consider the U.S. military, which discharged 3,400 troops for not getting the vaccine. These troops, who voluntarily signed up to risk their lives to protect the country, were given the boot over a vaccine that did not offer the protection it was supposed to. What impact did this discharge have on these troops’ lives? Did it affect our national security?
Numerous other people in the private sector lost their jobs if they refused vaccinations, too. And this happened because the experts were dishonest with the public about the efficacy of the vaccines.
And even though most of the country’s workforce complied with vaccine mandates, it shouldn’t have been necessary for continued employment. This is especially true given Birx’s most recent revelations.
The experts lied, and many people’s careers died. Their incompetence during the pandemic cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and their disgraceful deceit and authoritarian overreach resulted in thousands of people losing their careers as well.
The people should demand accountability for these transgressions. Birx’s stunning admission warrants more outrage and media scrutiny than it has received in the past week. Otherwise, why should anyone trust anything the government says ever again, especially during a national emergency?
