Dr. Joel Hirschhorn justified his indictment against Dr. Anthony Fauci by declaring that Fauci’s continued advocacy of crippling lockdowns “is sheer lunacy when, in fact, we have an effective therapeutic. Early use impact of the virus on younger and healthy people would have blocked local and state lockdowns.
“Waiting for large-scale use of a proven vaccine to justify restoring our society and economy is just plain stupid. If Fauci were a genuine public health official and not just a medical researcher, then he would have recognized the great many negative health impacts of lockdowns and waiting for a broadly used vaccine. He has not.”
We will discuss later the lockdowns that Hirschhorn considers a lunacy because it is much more; the lockdown is merely a mechanism for a far-reaching objective. Indeed, as I noted yesterday the WHO has backtracked on lockdowns.
In sum, Hirschhorn pointed out, “Every single day people are suffering and dying unnecessarily because Fauci refuses to accept HCQ facts. Instead, in endless media statements and appearances, he pushes masks, lockdowns and vaccines.”
The sad part for us Filipinos is that our health authorities seemingly do not have a mind of their own and meekly followed Fauci despite evidence to the contrary that we, ordinary citizens can see and understand.
Hirschhorn continues to indict Fauci that he accused of benefitting “from incorrect views of HCQ in the mostly leftist press,” referring to The Washington Post that declared, “There is no solid scientific evidence hydroxychloroquine should be used to treat COVID-19.”
He also cited the Twitter recently that issued a warning “about the potential risks” of HCQ use, while USA Today claimed science “has shown [HCQ] does not have a clinical benefit for COVID-19 patients and even has increased risks.”
Did not Fauci at least check the integrity of these declarations of “leftist” publication? We know that next month there is a crucial election in the US and the leftists are up in arms to boot President Donal Trump out from the White House. There are indications that the leftist agenda include portraying Trump as a failure in the fight against the pandemic. It is not farfetched to suspect that Fauci misled the President for this purpose. Leftists after all care little for human life as shown by their rabid support of abortion.
Thus, Hirschhorn submits that “for this grand jury proceeding, substantial evidence supports the indictment of Fauci on these counts: (A. Violating his physician oath to first do no harm; (B. Using his substantial influence to block widespread use of the proven safe, cheap and effective HCQ and, consequently, causing preventable pain, suffering and death for many thousands of Americans directly and through crippling lockdowns with their own negative health impacts; and (C. Blocking traditional medical freedom and preventing physicians from using their best judgment in selecting for their patients the best treatment for COVID-19.
Should we not indict our complicit health officials likewise?
What is Hirschhorn’s solution? He said, “As a form of trial for the indicted Fauci, here is a practical way to defeat anti-HCQ efforts and the leftist, anti-Trump media and, more importantly, help Americans: Immediately create a special workgroup under the White House Pandemic Task Force. Have it co-chaired by Dr. Scott Atlas, now a member of the Task Force, and the eminent Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale University. Have them select 10 additional members. Mandate them to deliver to the Task Force and President Trump within 30 days a recommendation to remove government restrictions on the use of HCQ or maintain the status quo. Let truth prevail.”
Who is this man who dared drag Fauci to the grand jury and possible indictment? Among other credentials I gathered, “Dr. Joel Hirschhorn has a long history of working on health issues, including being a full professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, a senior official at the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the National Governors Association. He has authored a number of books and hundreds of articles and has served as an executive volunteer at a major hospital for more than 10 years.”
As I wrote at the beginning, his credentials attest to the credibility of his claims as those other experts he cited.
