To the Editor:

On 1-3-2025 The Journal ran an AP article that misleads the public. The article claims we don’t know where COVID came from. COVID had its beginnings in the SARS virus. Certain elements used gain of function research with nefarious intent on the SARS virus. Wise people in our Congress recognized the dangers, and made gain of function research illegal in the US. Anthony Fauci and others moved the research (and funded it) to China. Fauci later lied to congress about this and should be investigated and charged with his crimes. Instead, Fauci retired, and now draws his (tax-payer funded) pension.

The article spoke of 20 million deaths from COVID around the world. Truth is, nobody really knows. What we do know, is there were financial incentives to classify many deaths as COVID deaths. We also know that deaths from the flu were almost non existent during this time. Strange coincidence? No. Always follow the money.

Instead, we were told to follow the science. Observe 6′ “social distancing”. No research to confirm this tactic. Fauci first said masks were ineffective, then said they were, and even double them up. No scientific research done. Take (or forced to take) the miracle vaccine.

These were never “vaccines”, and they still are not. They are experimental gene therapy treatments. Treatments that resulted in countless vaccine adverse reactions, and death. Cancers and heart related issues have exploded since the vaccines. Take the vaccine, or lose your job. Sudden unexpected deaths in otherwise healthy, young people, including athletes. Coroners are now reporting never before seen “Calamari” (white string like clots) causing problems with embalming.

Coroners that are willing to speak up are shunned, or ignored. Don’t ask, don’t tell.

I chose not to take the jab, got COVID (it was nasty), and survived. I now have full natural immunity, and have never contracted it again. I know several people who took the jab (and boosters) who have repeatedly gotten COVID. So much for an effective “vaccine”. I have watched too many people who I begged not to take the vaccine, now suffer the of doing so. Stop with the continued lies about COVID. Just stop.
