If there was a single website that enforced The Narrative™ on COVID-19, it was COVID.gov. It was the source for Leftmedia reports and censorial “fact-checks.” And it was largely propaganda.
Now, when you visit that URL, you get to a new White House website on which Donald Trump’s administration tells the truth about the coronavirus.
Of course, you could have visited Mark Alexander’s comprehensive COVID page that he’s been updating and documenting since March 2020. Alexander didn’t toe Anthony Fauci’s deceitful line, so his now-book-length record didn’t get the notoriety it deserved. (In addition to Alexander’s work, we wrote more than 800 stories on the subject over the last five years.)
For Trump, it’s part of fulfilling his promise to upend the status quo in Washington. In addition to reposting the 557-page report from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Trump takes on the biggest lies of COVID by telling the truth — which you knew long ago if you’ve been reading The Patriot Post:
-
COVID began in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, not in nature or that wet market. Virtually every U.S. intelligence agency has come around to this viewpoint, though the Leftmedia is still heel-dragging.
-
COVID resulted from gain-of-function research funded in part by the United States. “A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely the origin of COVID-19,” the site says. “Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability.”
-
Health experts and scientists were wrong, if not outright lying, about measures like social distancing, mask mandates, and lockdowns, which were often “arbitrary and not based on science.”
-
Politicians lied and covered up their actions. For example, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo caused many deaths at nursing homes in his state and lied to Congress about it.
Just this week, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer asked the Justice Department to criminally prosecute Cuomo for his lies and deadly actions. Joe Biden’s DOJ ignored the initial criminal referral. “Let’s be clear: lying to Congress is a federal crime. Mr. Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Comer said. “The House Oversight Committee is prepared to fully cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation into Andrew Cuomo’s actions and ensure he’s held to account.”
Speaking of criminal, the new Trump website notes that Fauci was responsible for many of these lies, which is why he received “a Full and Unconditional Pardon for any offenses against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014.” It was one of many grossly political pardons Biden issued on his way out the door.
This week, the watchdog group OpenTheBooks revealed that Fauci’s net worth doubled to about $15 million between 2019 and 2024. As OpenTheBooks CEO John Hart said in a statement, “Dr. Fauci’s assets soared during the worst of the draconian Covid lockdowns while families and small businesses struggled through school closures and lost income.”
Fauci wasn’t the only one who profited. In addition to Biden defying the Supreme Court and robbing taxpayers to pay off student loans, millions of borrowers avoided repayment through a “pause” mandated first by Trump and then extended repeatedly by Biden. The Department of Education will resume collections on accounts that haven’t seen payments in years, it announced Monday. “American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement.
The fraud that resulted from COVID, costing taxpayers trillions of dollars and igniting inflation that cost trillions more, may never be fully known.
Arguably, Trump’s biggest mistake in his first term was delegating too much pandemic policymaking to Fauci and others. For many reasons, the pandemic cost him reelection. Now, notes Comer, “President Trump is rightfully providing the American people with the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic.” That’s absolutely necessary for the record, if not for a reckoning that will be hard to accomplish.
