Discussion on Pandemic Preparedness and Vaccination

Nobody knew there'd be a pandemic or an epidemic of this proportion.

There may and likely will come a time in which we have both an airborne disease that is

deadly. And in order for us to deal with that effectively, we have to put in place

an infrastructure, not just here at home, but globally, that allows us to see it quickly,

isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly. So that if and when a new strain of flu,

like the Spanish flu, crops up five years from now or a decade from now, we've made the investment.

we're further along to be able to catch it. It is a smart investment for us to

make. It's not just insurance, it is knowing that down the road we're going

to continue to have problems like this, particularly in a globalized world.

And if there's one message that I want to leave with you today based on my

experience, and you'll see that in a moment, is that there is no question that

there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of

infectious diseases, both chronic infectious diseases in the sense of

already ongoing disease, and we have certainly a large burden of that, but

also there will be a surprise outbreak. And I hope by the end of my relatively

short presentation, you will understand why history, the history of the last 32

years that I've been the director of NIAID.

will tell the next administration that there's no doubt in anyone's mind that they will be

faced with the challenges that their predecessors were faced with.

The bioweapons convention, that ban lasted until 2001.

And after the anthrax attacks, Anthony Fauci began, essentially restarted the arms race

and the bioweapons arms race and did it under the pretension of developing vaccines.

Because it's the same science that you develop bioweapons and vaccines.

In 2014, three of his bugs escaped and 300 scientists wrote letters to President Obama

asking him to shut down Anthony Fauci.

President Obama declared a moratorium, but instead of shutting down his experiments,

he moved them offshore, mainly to the Wuhan lab.

And now, you know, the principal institutions of our government, the CIA, the FBI, the State

Department, Department of Energy, all say that it is most likely that those experiments

resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2019.

So President Trump today moved to shut down this kind of research in this country and

to stop funding it abroad.

From the Biden administration, Dr. Fauci, we already have millions of kids around the

country who have gotten vaccinated, which means that

If you're still thinking about it, get informed, talk to somebody you trust, your family doctor,

your pediatrician, a school nurse, get more information about it.

They'll tell you it's safe, it's effective, this vaccine is tailored for kids, and then

come on down and find a spot to get vaccinated.

You can get it for free just by going to vaccine.gov.

It'll tell you exactly where you can go to get vaccinated, and make sure to do it, as

you said, for your kids, your entire family, as well as for the community at large.

Did you say free fries when you get vaccinated?

Um, I got vaccinated.

You're saying I could get this?

These delicious fries?

Wait a minute.

But there's also a burger element to this?

Let me check with Bill Neidhardt.

Is it too early in the day to eat a burger?

No. This could be breakfast?

Okay.

I want you to look at this and think about,

again, some people love hamburgers,

some don't.

I really want to respect all ways of life.

But if this is appealing to you,

just think of this when you think of vaccination.

Vaccination.

Mmm.

I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination right this moment.

We're going to keep rolling out incentives.

We're going to keep making it easy. We're going to keep making it fun.

We really, really need to get everyone vaccinated.

And I am the manager in CCU.

For my team, we are in the COVID unit.

So therefore, you know, my team will be getting first chances to get the vaccine.

And I know that it's really...

I'm sorry, I'm feeling really dizzy.

I'm sorry.

There may and likely will come a time

in which we have both an airborne disease that is deadly.

There is no question that there will be a challenge

to the coming administration in the arena

of infectious diseases, both chronic infectious diseases

If and when.

new strain of flu like the Spanish flu crops up five years from now or a

decade from now. It's not just insurance, it is knowing that down the road we're

going to continue to have problems like this, particularly in a globalized world.

It's become clear that people in this country and globally have been

steamrolled. It is also clear that it has been coordinated globally. It is also

clear that it has been integrated, not just over six months, not just over two

and a half years, but it has been planned over decades. The changes to legislation

in this country were done so that they could control doctors and people. But the

people are waking and it's thanks to people like Dr. Altman and all the

presenters here today, thanks to people like Senator Bebette and Craig Kelly. We

know and we know

knew that this is all bullshit and that we've been had. But we are going to hound you down,

the people that are guilty. We are going to hound you down and hold you accountable and

we will expose your global agenda so that the people of Australia can be free in the future.

Because I love my kids and I'm looking forward to my grandkids and we are going to save this country.
