The Highwire with Del Bigtree - FORMER NIH DIRECTOR ADMITS COVID POLICIES LACKED EVIDENCE

Episode Date: June 3, 2024

As the ‘COVID Cartel’ slowly comes apart at the seams, the former director of the NIH, Francis Collins, joined the legions of health leaders, politicians and journalists who have admitted to misrepresenting the science when it came to the pandemic response.Hear how he conceded when it came to the science behind social distancing and the likelihood lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 last week at the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Over the last several weeks, we've really been covering a story that is unfolding by the day. If you think of this as the Court of Public Opinion, the Highwire has been laying out a case that began really in 2017 when the show started about fraudulent science around vaccines, vaccine safety, vaccine science, and then COVID hit and played right into our hands. We were one of the only networks that is laid out from the beginning all the fraud as it was taking place, predicting. how it would and pointing out to you how the news was completely misrepresenting the known science and the cover-ups that was happening from everything from the emergency use authorization to the Wuhan Lab League. Well, now it is all coming apart at the seams. And as we predicted, many years ago, ultimately the rats will start jumping ship and then they'll start attacking and turning each other in. It's really the basis of what a RICO case would be, which is a

completely corrupt system in which everybody is a part of it. Everyone is linked to another person. And once one domino starts falling, they all begin to fall. And that's exactly what we're seeing this week in the hearings that are taking place in Washington, D.C. One of the big characters we reported on is Francis Collins, the head of the NIH throughout COVID. This is a guy that always comes across as mild-mannered and soft and seems like a sweet guy and likes to act like he's really not quite aware of everything that is going on, especially when he's playing his guitar. But this week, he was in front of a hearing discussing exactly how the hearing would have to go. He was asked some questions. They weren't on camera, but they were recorded and they've been written down.

Let's just go through a couple of these questions and the answer, shall we? As you get to watch, the wheels coming off of this ship. Exclusive former NIH head, Francis Collins, admits COVID origins not settled. No science to back social distance guidance. Well, we've already heard that from Tony Fauci, but here's how it went. All it's calling for is a yes or no is the possibility of a lab leak conspiracy theory, Collins. You have to define what you mean by a lab leak. Again, the question, putting aside de novo the possibility of a laboratory or research-related accident,

a researcher doing something in a lab, getting infected with a virus, and then sparking the pandemic. Is that scenario a conspiracy theory? Collins, not at this point. Oh, how things have changed. On March 22nd, 2020, the CDC issued guidance describing social distancing to include remaining out of congregant settings, avoiding mass gatherings. and maintaining a distance of approximately six feet from others when possible. We asked Dr. Fauci where the six feet came from, and he said it kind of just appeared, is the quote. This is how this is set up. Now remember, this is the entire science behind

locking down our nation for the first time ever. The first time we have ever quarantined healthy people. Normally a quarantine is six people, I mean, is among sick people. And if you think about the squares that were the circles that were pasted on sidewalks, outside of stores, standing apart, all of this certainly had something to do in science, or were we just some part of a giant grand joke and scheme? Well, the question came before the head of the highest funded scientific body in America. Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six foot distance? Collins, I do not. Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet. Collins, I did not see evidence.

But I'm not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point. I was not involved in that conversation. Final question. Since then, since that moment, till now, it has been an awfully large topic. Have you seen any evidence since then supporting six feet? Collins, no. The entire basis of shutting down our nation, destroying our kids' education,

keeping them six feet from each other, plastic everywhere you go as though viruses don't go over plastic. All that insanity in restaurants, I remember once walking through the door, forgetting I was supposed to be wearing a mask. No, screams the guy behind the bar as he jumps over rushing to us. your masks, your mask, your masks.

I remember putting it on. He grabbed three menus, turned to a booth four feet away, sat us down and said, now you can take off your masks. We all lived through that insanity. And even then I was asking, yes, the bartender, can you explain that science to me? Knowing it did not exist. Well, now it's all falling apart because there is no science. And the high wire stood while we were attacking.

by virtually every major news source saying that we were the one spreading misinformation by saying that there was no science behind social distancing, that the vaccine would not stop transmission, that it looked like this could very well be a lab leak, lab origin virus, not a natural virus, for all these things were attacked before anyone was covering it. And let me remind you, in case it seems like Francis Collins really didn't have his hands on this stuff and was just a bystander at the most prestigious highest funded organization or non-profit, not actually not a nonprofit government agency, the NIH.

There's just to remind you some of the emails that have come through FOIA. This is a government official attempts to stipulate a lab leak hypothesis. This is an email from Dr. Francis Collins to Tony Founci. I'm wondering if there is something NIH can do to help put down this very destructive conspiracy with what seems to be growing momentum. Referring to, I hope the nature medicine article on the genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 would settle this, but probably didn't get much visibility.

Anything more we can do? Ask the National Canopy to weigh in, something like that. Of course, he's talking about lab origin. Look at this line, wondering if there's something NIH can do to help put down as though killing an animal. Kill this thing now. What can the NIH do to kill this science right now? Does that sound like unbiased research?

Sounds very biased to me going out of your way. And when they say, well, we probably, he said recently, we probably should have had more scientists at the table that had a different perspective of, but we just didn't know what was going on. Well, remember this that came through FOIA, when it came through the great Barrington Declaration written by Dr. Martin Koldorf, Dr. Shnetra Gupta, Dr. J. Badacharya, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard. This is what Francis Collins said about their proposal, that it was going to be more dangerous,

that there was no science. By the way, this is what they're saying. There's no science behind making people stand six feet apart. There's no science behind locking people down. We've never done it before. It's going to do more harm than the virus itself. This is what he said. This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists from some of the most,

esteemed universities in the world who met with the secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention. Once again, he hates these ideas that are getting attention and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leave it at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown once again of its premises. I don't see anything like that online yet. Is it underway? Can we help? Can we be a part of this lie? Can we shut down all the science that's saying, geez, this sure looks like it has lab origin. And now, in testimony, what is he saying? Did you ever see evidence? Is it really a conspiracy? No. Now that none of my emails seem to have worked and enough of you investigated it, you can't handle the truth. Okay, we lied to the world

is what is happening in Washington, D.C. Daily Mail. There needs to be a quick and devastating take down, email show how Fauci and head of NIH work to discredit three experts who penned the Great Barrington Declaration. Now you get it. And boy, wait to see what Jeffrey has coming. It's only just the beginning. So what's going to happen? I believe what we're seeing is history in the making. We're proud here at the High Wire to have been on this before anyone else was. And those have you been watching all this time, you know the track record that we have. It's not that we're psychic. We weren't lucky, as Bill Amar said, we didn't roll dice on this. We followed science from all around the world. We've been delivering science that goes back decades that leads to this

moment that we're at. We've been following the trajectory of all the interest groups and well-funded nonprofits and NGOs that have been manipulating the science for years. We've shown you how that's being done and how it all comes together. That's what we do here at the high wire.
