(Jan. 10, 2024) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA14) will hold a second hearing furthering her inquiry into “injuries caused by COVID-19 vaccines” on Friday, January 12 at 12:00 p.m. EST/9:00 a.m. PST.
Greene, also known as “MTG,” held the first such session in November, although there were considerable audio problems rendering at least this writer unable to report on its outcome.
Guests as of this writing include epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, a leading voice of caution regarding the “vaccines” introduced to the American public in mid-December 2020 in response to the COVID-19 “pandemic.” Six weeks later, defying government and media narratives and sacrificing at least two editorships and a position at a leading medical center, McCullough called for the preparations to be withdrawn from the market due to reported excessive adverse events.
On Wednesday morning McCullough announced the hearing on his Substack, writing:
We are now four years into the COVID-19 pandemic. After hundreds if not thousands of physician media appearances, OPEDs, peer-reviewed publications and public presentations, the US House of Representatives will finally host medical specialists who have vast experience in treating SARS-CoV-2 infections and managing the injuries resulting from COVID-19 vaccination.
I have often wondered what were our Congressman [sic] thinking as myself, Dr. Ryan Cole, and Dr. Kirk Milhoan appeared on national television and told America that the infection was treatable and the vaccines were ill-advised? Were they hoping this would “just blow over.” As the years wore on and the causality count rose from both the illness and the vaccines it appears things have come to a head.
McCullough went on to summarize two days of closed-door depositions given Monday and Tuesday by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, former director of the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
On Wednesday morning, Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH2) issued a press release stating that Fauci’s deposition demonstrated “systemic failures in our public health system,” among other serious concerns.
After two days of testimony and 14 hours of questioning, many things became evident. During his interview today, Dr. Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come. He testified that the lab leak hypothesis — which was often suppressed — was, in fact, not a conspiracy theory. Further, the social distancing recommendations forced on Americans ‘sort of just appeared’ and were likely not based on scientific data.
Dr. Fauci’s transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority. It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.
While we remain frustrated with Dr. Fauci’s inability to recollect COVID-19 information that is important for our investigation, others we have spoken to do recall the facts. I appreciate Dr. Fauci’s willingness to testify privately in front of the Select Subcommittee and look forward to speaking with him further at a public hearing this year. There are many opportunities to do better in the future.
Wenstrup’s summary of the first day of Fauci’s testimony is here.
The subcommittee is a division of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY1).
On Tuesday Dr. Robert W. Malone, MD, an early pioneer in mRNA therapy, also summarized Wenstrup’s observations at his Substack.
Guest Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist, has had his medical license threatened by the State of Washington Medical Commission for allegedly “violated standards related to COVID-19 and patient care” during telehealth sessions with patients.
As with McCullough and Cole, the third guest, Hawaii-based pediatric cardiologist Dr. Kirk Milhoan, MD, PhD, Air Force veteran and ordained minister, has testified at hearings questioning government COVID mandates and vaccine advocacy held by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and at the 2022 Global Covid Summit.
On Tuesday, The Maui News reported:
The Hawaii Medical Board has filed complaints against Maui’s top health official and a Valley Isle physician following reports that they backed COVID-19 treatments that state and federal health agencies advise against.
Jayson Horiuchi, spokesperson for the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, confirmed that the board filed separate complaints against Maui District Health Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang and pediatric cardiologist Dr. Kirk Milhoan on Thursday with the Regulated Industries Complaints Office.
