Upon Further Review: HHR January 26, 2025
From the 'proximal origin' of COVID-19 to Anthony Fauci's pre-pardon and the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO, heads were spinning from the overturned narratives of the pandemic.
This Week: From the 'proximal origin' of COVID-19 to Anthony Fauci's pre-pardon and the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO, heads were spinning from the overturned narratives of the pandemic.
Fauci’s Pardon, Exiting the WHO, and the Future of Healthcare
What does Fauci’s “pre-pardon” mean for public trust? Why is the U.S. exiting the WHO, and how will these moves shape public health policy? This week, a distinguished panel of healthcare experts tackles these questions and more in the inaugural Independent Medical Alliance™ (IMA) webinar. Senior Fellow Dr. Ryan Cole leads the discussion with IMA co-founders Dr. Joseph Varon and Dr. Paul Marik, joined by Senior Fellow Dr. Kat Lindley and former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS, David Mansdoerfer.
Upon Further Review… C.I.A. Overturns Zoonotic ‘Proximal Origin’ Theory of COVID-19
The Central Intelligence Agency (finally) acknowledged that the most likely explanation of the ‘proximal origin’ of COVID-19 was a 'lab-leak' of Gain-of-Function research from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
John Ratcliffe, the new director of the C.I.A., has long favored the lab leak hypothesis. He has said it is a critical piece of intelligence that needs to be understood and that it has consequences for U.S.-Chinese relations.
The announcement of the shift came shortly after Mr. Ratcliffe told Breitbart News he no longer wanted the agency “on the sidelines” of the debate over the origins of the Covid pandemic. Mr. Ratcliffe has long said he believes that the virus most likely emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“That’s a day-one thing for me. I’ve been on record as you know in saying I think our intelligence, our science, and our common sense all really dictates that the origins of COVID was a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But the CIA has not made that assessment or at least not made that assessment publicly. So I’m going to focus on that and look at the intelligence and make sure that the public is aware that the agency is going to get off the sidelines.” — John Ratcliffe, Director Central Intelligence Agency
A Thousand Pardons
“The entire world is asking why Anthony Fauci needed a pardon if he’s supposedly done nothing wrong?” —Lynne Kristensen, Spokesperson for the Independent Medical Alliance
On Monday, January 20, 2025, in one of his final acts as leader of the free world, President Joseph Biden granted a ‘Full and Unconditional’ Pardon to Dr. Anthony Fauci, although the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAIID), had NOT actually been charged with, nor convicted of, any federal crime. The Executive Grant of Clemency (blanket pardon) is back-dated to 2014, which coincides with the National Institutes for Health announcement of a ‘funding pause for certain types of Gain-of-Function research.’

I’m not sure some of these “pre” pardons are going to work. It’s been done historically before and is covered in the Constitution but considering the grave danger Fauci and others posed to the public, and the morbidity and mortality incurred, I wonder how the Supreme Court will interpret this. The Congressional investigation began long before the pardon and a lot of information surfaced.
The statements from IMA regarding Fauci’s pardon and the withdrawal from the WHO, written by Lynne Kristensen, are excellent. Those statements speak for all of us who suffered through the horrible Covid crisis. Thank you.
