Former NIH Head Secretly Helped With Paper Dismissing Theory COVID-19 Came From Lab

Then-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins, around the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, acknowledged that he secretly assisted with a paper stating the virus that causes COVID-19 “is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” according to a newly released missive.

“This is work that Tony, Jeremy, Larry, and I helped with, but are appropriately not mentioned explicitly in the paper,” Collins said in the March 6, 2020, email to NIH officials, which was released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on June 11.

Tony refers to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime head of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases through late 2022. Jeremy refers to Jeremy Farrar, at the time the director of the Wellcome Trust. Larry refers to Dr. Lawrence Tabak, an NIH official.

Collins noted the conclusion that stated, “The analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered.” SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

The first COVID-19 cases appeared in Wuhan, China, in 2019, near a laboratory that was conducting enhanced experiments on coronaviruses funded by the NIH.

Collins was responding to an email from Kristian Andersen, one of the authors of the paper, which was titled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2.” Andersen and other scientists said in the paper, published on March 17, 2020, in Nature Medicine, that they analyzed data and concluded that it came from nature.

To date, no natural source has been identified for the virus. The Trump administration maintains the virus came from the Wuhan lab.

The paper did not mention any contributions from Collins, Fauci, Tabak, or Farrar, who made at least one critical change to the document, according to emails released by lawmakers in 2023. It thanked American virologist Michael Farzan “for discussions” and the Wellcome Trust “for support.” Nature did not return a request for comment by the time of publication. Collins did not respond to a request for comment.

Collins told lawmakers in 2024 that his role “was for information, not for me to edit,” that he never edited or suggested edits to the paper, and that, to his knowledge, neither did Fauci or Farrar. He also said he is not a virology expert.

Ontario Court grants TDF Amish client leave to appeal Quarantine Act convictions

The Democracy Fund (TDF) is pleased with the Ontario Court of Justice’s decision granting leave to appeal in a Quarantine Act ticket case.

The client, a member of the Amish community from southern Ontario, allegedly failed to complete the ArriveCan app or PCR testing when crossing the border. He received a $6,500 ticket but never received notice of a trial date or conviction. When the ticket went unpaid, the municipality sent it to collections, complicating his ability to get loans for the farming equipment he uses to farm his land and feed his family. TDF sought to have the ticket reopened, but the court refused – an outcome inconsistent with TDF’s other Amish ticket reopening cases.

TDF’s legal defence of the Amish challenges convictions totalling over $300,000 dollars issued under the Quarantine Act for alleged non-compliance with ArriveCAN app and PCR testing requirements during Canada’s COVID-19 border measures.

The Amish have a religious prohibition on any modern technology, including smartphones, computers, and software applications. This makes interacting with the modern world difficult. TDF’s Amish clients were convicted in absentia; they received no meaningful notice of the tickets or court dates.

TDF Director of Litigation Adam Blake-Gallipeau, who has represented multiple Amish families throughout these proceedings, stated:

“We are cautiously optimistic that once the Ontario Court of Justice reviews this decision, it will reverse the lower court’s ruling. Canadian courts should understand the Amish community’s traditional way of life within the broader context of religious freedom. The Amish live simply according to their Biblical principles, provide for their families through subsistence farming, and lack the means to pay the massive fines that threaten the existence of their communities. We intend to impress upon the Court the serious issues at stake, including inadequate notice and the inconsistent treatment of nearly identical reopening applications. We’re hopeful that these convictions will be overturned on appeal.”

Court-Martial: Military Records Board Fails Service Member Amid Ongoing COVID-19 Shot Mandate Fallout

The Board of Corrections for Military Records once again failed another service member. This systemic failure highlights a troubling trend of neglect and indifference toward those who have stood firm in their convictions and have been retaliated against for it.

Who will right the wrongs this time? War Secretary Pete Hegseth? Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata? Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink? Anyone?

The bigger question of the day: Why are service members still experiencing negative impacts on their careers due to the military’s now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate? This mandate was rescinded in January 2023 and was later declared “unlawful as implemented across all departments of the military in May 2025.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Davis Younts, legal counsel for Major Matt Murphy, who he feels was “railroaded” toward Administrative Separation as a result of his 2021 religious objections to the shot. The retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and former Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer said his client, a U.S. Space Force officer at the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in Virginia, had the integrity to do what was right, yet after all these years, it has cost his career.

On June 11, 2026, Murphy was mainly accused of “failing to attend a physical training (PT) session for which he had already faced administrative punishment, despite documented evidence indicating that his attendance was not necessary,” Younts shared. “Coincidentally, the individuals overseeing him were the same ones who attempted to remove him during the COVID pandemic.”

“They’ve made remarks regarding COVID and his religious beliefs, and I firmly believe he is being targeted for issues like missing a PT session, which no officer would typically receive a career-ending Letter of Reprimand for,” he added.

For Younts, this situation raises significant alarms about retaliation. It also brings into question whether the Department of War is genuinely committed to supporting service members who have been coerced, mistreated, and retaliated against regarding the shot.

Murphy admitted to The Gateway Pundit that this journey has been one of the toughest multi-front battles of his 15-year career. In 2020, he and his wife moved to New York to pursue a PhD at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) as part of an Air Force Institute of Technology-Civilian Institution program. In 2021, pregnant with their second child, the family was confronting the draconian measures enforced in the Empire State.

Murphy was barred from the RIT campus due to the institute’s shot mandate policies, which ultimately led to his disenrollment. All the while, he was also engaged in a separate struggle with the Department of the Air Force. With a second child on the way, it was almost too much to bear.

Amid the turmoil and stress, and after the birth of their third child, what mattered most to Murphy was finding “time for peace and quality time with my family during these precious years,” he confessed.

The Real Reason the FAA Authorized the COVID Shots Revealed in Court Documents

An experienced airline pilot claims he faced retaliation for opposing the COVID-19 shot, which he believes undermined personal liberties and aviation safety across the industry. He contends that these matters should be investigated as facts about the so-called vaccine and surrounding policies continue to emerge.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Captain Bahig Saliba, a pilot who dedicated over 27 years to American Airlines. He opposed the airline’s policies and practices that were implemented during the declared pandemic. That led him to initiate pro se legal action against the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) beginning in 2022, alleging retaliation and federal aviation law violations.

Saliba expressed concern regarding the infringement of personal liberties and aviation safety, noting that retaliation manifested in various forms, including a demand by American Airlines for a fitness for duty examination without any reason given, even when Saliba had an impeccable record.

Saliba emphasized that federal agencies must adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which outlines the processes for rulemaking. “However, under the sovereign immunity umbrella,” he said, “agencies possess a wide range of discretion in rule and decision making.” With this discretion, he remarked, “agencies may not violate the law, but they often do.”

He argued that the FAA’s Federal Air Surgeon, Dr. Susan Northrup, wields the most discretion of all within the agency. She has the authority to medically certify pilots and air traffic controllers as well as to issue FAA medical certificates, he explained, adding, “that authority includes the prohibition or authorization of medication for use by holders of such certificates.”

“While the FAA medical certification is a civilian branch of government,” Saliba pointed out that “the U.S. military also benefits from the FAA expertise and authority in the field of aviation medicine.”

“The medical certification is not a simple visit to an FAA Aeromedical Examiner (AME) for a physical checkup,” the former airline pilot disclosed. Rather, it is a legal process detailed by Northrup herself in the video below.

Senate Investigation Finds FDA Officials Covered-Up 25 COVID Shot Safety Signals

A new Majority Staff Interim Report from Sen. Ron Johnson’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was released today (April 29, 2026), titled Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.

In early 2021 — just weeks after the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out under EUA — FDA senior medical officer Dr. Ana Szarfman (a key developer of the agency’s own data mining system) teamed up with Dr. William DuMouchel (the statistician who literally invented FDA’s “gold standard” EB data mining algorithm) to run an upgraded analysis on VAERS data.

Their new method (Regression-Adjusted Gamma Poisson Shrinker — RGPS) fixed a known flaw called “masking” — where signals for one COVID vaccine get drowned out by the sheer volume of reports from the others.

What they found was explosive:

  • 49 examples of extreme masking
  • ~25 new statistically significant safety signals that FDA’s standard MGPS method completely missed
  • Signals included: sudden cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary infarction, Bell’s palsy, non-site specific embolism/thrombosis, dementia, and “Death and sudden death” — for Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J shots

Dr. Szarfman repeatedly shared these findings with senior CBER officials (the very people in charge of vaccine safety), including Dr. Peter Marks, in March, April, May, and July 2021.

Their response?

  • Told her to “hold off” on creating and sending any more data mining reports
  • Called her work a “major distraction”
  • Worried it would “create erroneous conflicts that feed into anti-vaccination rhetoric”
  • Eventually ordered her to “cease and desist”

Later, FDA quietly locked down distribution of its own weekly data mining reports to CDC — right around the time FOIA requests and Sen. Johnson’s letters started coming in. One CDC official even admitted they may have asked FDA to stop sending them “because of the FOIAs.”

Even after Dr. Szarfman and DuMouchel published their findings in Drug Safety (2022) showing masking was eight times more likely with COVID vaccines, and Dr. Robert Califf replied “Thanks. These are good,” no changes were made to the methodology.

This is documented, internal FDA communication showing deliberate suppression of safety signals at the exact moment millions of Americans were being told the shots were “safe and effective.”

The cover-up continues to unravel. Accountability is urgently warranted.

mRNA Vaccines Linked to Catastrophic Ovarian Damage

groundbreaking study reveals that mRNA vaccines trigger irreversible destruction of women’s primordial follicles — the finite ‘egg reserve’ that dictates fertility and menopause timing.

Karaman et al. (2024) found that rats injected with human-equivalent mRNA COVID-19 doses suffered:

  • more than 60% loss of primordial follicles (*p* < 0.001) — the non-renewable foundation of female fertility
  • plummeting Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) — a key marker of ovarian reserve
  • a surge in follicle apoptosis (cell death) via elevated TGF-β1, VEGF, and caspase-3.

If this translates to humans, the implications are dire. Think early menopause, infertility, and a generational fertility crash.

There are human data reflecting this trend: Alvergne et al. (2022) reported disrupted menstrual cycles in 42% of vaccinated women, with some experiencing prolonged irregularities. However, more research is needed.

The Shocking Damage Caused by Covid Policies

he Covid lockdowns may not have been remotely effective, but at least they harmed millions of people and created long-lasting negative impacts that we’re still dealing with today.

That’s the conclusion of a massive new body of research into the nonsensical policies promoted by the public health “expert” class, promoted by their media partners, and enacted by incompetent, cowardly politicians.

Mask mandates had been thoroughly discouraged by decades of pre-Covid pandemic planning. There was no body of research supporting the closing of certain businesses at different hours of the day, as many jurisdictions demanded.

No studies were conducted on the reduction of infection rates resulting from placing directional arrows on the floors of grocery stores to direct people through aisles in predetermined patterns.

There were no randomized controlled trials on closing skate parks and beaches, arresting people surfing alone in the ocean, restricting capacity to random percentages based on inaccurate assumptions of community spread.

We had no idea whether closing schools would be effective or “save lives,” but we did it anyway. We didn’t know if vaccine passports would actually have a meaningful impact on community spread, yet we were encouraged to push that too.

All these “interventions” started with little-to-no evidence. That’s bad enough. What makes it much worse? That we implemented them all with zero consideration of possible side effects resulting from those policies.

Lockdowns were an unprecedented incursion on freedom and liberty. What would that do to society, the economy, mental health, and so on? It appeared that no one involved gave those considerations a second thought, and now we’re paying the price.

The evidence for a planned covid pandemic starts in the UK in 1966

In 2023, Dr. David Martin presented evidence to UK Parliamentarians that the covid pandemic was a 56-year plan in development, starting in the UK in 1966 when the Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as a method of human manipulation.

In 1967, the US and UK agreed to modify and manipulate coronavirus, and by 2011, a document showed an anti-trust collusion between the Wellcome Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation and others to establish a universal vaccine by 2020.

The covid pandemic was not a public health emergency, but rather an orchestrated assault on liberties.  And the evidence points to a conspiracy to commit acts of terror, with key players including Peter Daszak and the World Health Organisation.

On 4 December 2023, Andrew Bridgen, then a Member of the UK Parliament (“MP”), hosted an event in the Wilson Room of Portcullis House, a building opposite the Houses of Parliament which provides offices for 210 MPs and their staff, supplementing the limited space in the Palace of Westminster and surrounding buildings.

16 MPs attended the event titled ‘For Democracy, Truth, and Freedom’ when Dr. David E. Martin said: “Covid was a 56-year plan in development that began in the UK when Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as the ‘preferred method of human manipulation’.”

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler Reveals $200 BILLION in Fraudulent PPP Loans Were Hidden by Biden Admin – “People Are Going to Jail”

Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler revealed during a White House cabinet meeting on Wednesday that her agency has uncovered staggering amounts of fraud, including $200 billion in fraudulent Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that the Biden regime kept hush-hush. 

“We found $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans that the Biden administration tried to hide and forgive and sweep under the rug,” she said.

Amid discussions about fraud and Vice President JD Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Loeffler made the stunning announcement.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump went off on the Somali fraudsters in Minnesota and Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar for pillaging the US Treasury. He further suggested that even more fraud has been discovered that will shatter the earth.

“In two months, we’ve exposed 10s of billions of dollars of defrauded taxpayer money, prosecuted numerous fraudsters,” he said.

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Trump added. “Wait till you see. I’m getting reports from Todd, from JD. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Inside The FDA’s “Cover-Up” Of Child Deaths Linked To Covid Vaccines

In September 2025, then-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that the agency was investigating reports of child deaths following Covid-19 vaccination.

We do know at the FDA…that there had been children who have died from the COVID vaccine,” Makary said during a CNN interview.

By that stage, however, a fierce internal dispute had already emerged inside the FDA over what investigators believed the evidence showed – and whether the public should ever see the full findings.

“It really did feel like there was some sort of cover-up going on about the Covid-19 vaccines,” said one individual familiar with the discussions.

MD Reports spoke with several current/former agency officials, advisers, and individuals briefed on the discussions, all of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss internal FDA deliberations.

At the centre of the controversy was an internal FDA review led by Dr Tracy Beth Høeg, a physician-scientist who was working as a senior scientist inside the FDA’s vaccine division at the time.

FDA officials examined roughly 96 paediatric death reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the government database used to detect potential vaccine-related adverse events.

The review included medical records, autopsy reports, pathology findings, and follow-up investigations conducted by agency staff.

About 25 deaths following Covid vaccination were ultimately considered serious enough for high-level internal discussion inside the agency.

The findings were expected to be presented at a September 2025 meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices (ACIP), the federal panel that shapes US vaccine recommendations.

But before that could happen, details of the review leaked to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Høeg quickly became the focus of intense media scrutiny and criticism from vaccine advocates and unnamed FDA officials who argued she was relying too heavily on VAERS reports and overstating preliminary findings.

People familiar with the fallout said some FDA staff strongly objected to Høeg’s methods and conclusions and allegedly sought to undermine her credibility by leaking details of the review.

The leak effectively ended plans for a public ACIP discussion and deepened divisions within the FDA over how the findings should be handled.

Some officials believed the findings warranted stronger warnings and greater transparency. Others feared public acknowledgement of vaccine-linked child deaths would damage confidence in the Covid vaccines.

“We know that there are these deaths that are due to the vaccine,” said one source, referring to myocarditis cases and published reports from countries including Korea and Israel.

The controversy intensified after then-FDA vaccine chief Dr Vinay Prasad ordered additional investigation into the deaths identified in Høeg’s review.

Months later, another leak brought the issue back into public view.

In November 2025, an internal memo circulated by Prasad became public. In it, Prasad acknowledged that “at least 10” children had died “after and because of receiving Covid-19 vaccination.”

He described the findings as “a profound revelation.”

“COVID-19 vaccines did result in the death of children,” Prasad wrote. “Dr. Hoeg was correct in her assessment.”

The memo triggered another round of backlash from media outlets and vaccine advocates, many of whom accused Prasad of overstating the evidence before the agency’s analysis had been finalised.

Inside Medicine reported on a Dec 5 memo about a subsequent FDA analysis using a World Health Organization causality framework, which classified zero deaths as “certain,” two as “probable/likely,” and five as “possible.”

But individuals involved in the discussions said pressure steadily mounted inside the agency to “downgrade” the findings with each successive review.

It seemed like there was a lot of pressure to keep decreasing the number of deaths,” said one source.
