Appearing on Fox News, former White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx admitted that she knew vaccines were not going to protect Americans from becoming infected with the virus.

You can watch the clip below for yourself. Dr. Birx even says the CDC and federal government “overplayed the vaccines” when informing Americans about the efficacy of the drug.

YES 👍 or NO 👎

“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection,” Dr. Birx told Neil Cavuto of Fox News. “And I think we overplayed the vaccines.”

“It made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let’s be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older, vaccinated,” she continued.

“So that’s why I’m saying even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, if you’re unvaccinated right now, the key is testing and Paxlovid. It’s effective.” Here’s the clip:

“It’s a great antiviral. And really, that is what’s going to save your lives right now if you’re over 70, which if you look at the hospitalizations, hospitalizations are rising steadily with new admissions, particularly in those over 70.”

“And so if you live in the South – I know people keep talking about the fall – I’m worried about the South.”

Jim Jordan made a major announcement that has conservatives cheering.

Appearing on Fox News, he was asked whether Republicans are going to “investigate Anthony Fauci should you take the control in the majority of the House.”

“Yes. Yes, we definitely are,” Jordan responded.

The midterm elections are coming up in 2022, which could give Republicans control of Congress.

“If the American people put us back in charge, we are definitely going to do this because we now know without a doubt that Dr. Fauci knew on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 that this thing came from a lab,” Jordan claimed.

“The top scientists in the country were saying it came from a lab. One scientist says we got the notes now from the conference call on February 1st. One scientist says, ‘I don’t see how this can happen in nature, but it would be easy to do in a lab.’”

“And yet just in a matter of days, they changed their position, write the article that appears in Nature of Medicine Magazine, which then gets cited in the now famous letter in The Lancet, which became the gospel for the fact that Fauci can go out and tell people it didn’t come from a lab when in fact they knew it did,” Jordan continued.

“The interesting thing is. We point this out. We just learned this last week, the two doctors who were most adamant that this thing came from a lab early on: one is Dr. Kristian Anderson. On Jan. 31, 2020, he says this to Dr. Fauci in an email: ‘Virus looks engineered. Virus not consistent with evolutionary theory.’ So, he knew it came from a lab.”

As early as February 2, 2020, Fauci received an email from Sir Jeremy Farrar who said that “a likely explanation” was that Covid had rapidly evolved from a Sars-like virus inside human tissue in a low-security lab.

The Telegraph has confirmed, “The email, to Dr Anthony Fauci and Dr Francis Collins of the US National Institutes of Health, went on to say that such evolution may have ‘accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans.’”
