NIH Director Begs Americans To Swallow Vaccine Skepticism As Bill Gates Eyes Unofficial Role

SUNDAY, DEC 13, 2020 - 16:00

The director of the National Institutes of Health begged Americans to "hit the reset button" on their concerns over whether the COVID-19 vaccine, which was developed faster than any vaccine in the history of Western medicine, will be safe.

"I would like to plead to people who are listening to this this morning to really hit the reset button on whatever they think they knew about this vaccine that might cause them to be so skeptical," Dr. Francis Collins told NBC News' "Meet the Press."

Collins also said that it's unknown whether someone who's had the vaccine could still acquire the virus and silently spread to others around them - saying that "it will take us a couple of months to figure that out," and that people still need to mask up and social distance.

Replying to @RiegerReport Director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins: “We don't know whether somebody who had the vaccine could still acquire the virus without any symptoms and potentially be contagious to others around them. … It will take us a couple of months to figure that out."

Let's not forget that earlier his month a former Pfizer executive expressed dire concerns over the rushed vaccines, joining a German pulmonologist in calling for the European Medicine Agency to halt Pfizer vaccine studies until a design study could be created which addresses a host of serious safety concerns ranging from potentially fatal reactions to 'infertility of indefinite duration.'
Meanwhile, billionaire Bill Gates is looking forward to his foundation taking an unofficial role in the Biden administration, telling CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that while he doesn't expect to take on a formal role, his foundation will liaise with the government on future infectious disease control, according to Bloomberg.
"I talked with the president-elect about that," said Gates, adding "I think our foundation will be part of that dialogue to make sure we don’t blow it again."
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Wednesday that it will pledge an additional $250 million to fight COVID-19, on top of $1.5 billion it's already committed.

On Thursday, Melinda Gates said she was "incredibly disappointed" that President Trump signed an executive order to put Americans at the front of the line for vaccines, with CNNhost Poppy Harlow calling it "vaccine nationalism."

Ron Paul: This Worries Me Much More Than COVID

...this accelerating grab by the government for expanded power and control as exactly what we DON’T need to effectively and sustainably tackle the truly massive tasks ahead of us...

Via PeakProsperity.com,

If you’re concerned about the overreach of government in juicing asset prices to dangerous levels, picking economic winner and losers, and constraining our personal freedoms - you have very good right to be.
So says lifelong champion of free markets, sound money and civil liberty, former US Congressman Dr Ron Paul:




Having spent decades in Washington serving as a member of the House of Representatives, Dr Paul is intimately familiar with both the institutions and the individuals currently running our country. And he has “zero” confidence that they will competently handle the major challenges facing America today.
2020 has given politicians a golden moment to capitalize off of the old DC strategy to “never let a crisis go to waste”. And they are making the most out of the current anxiety and uncertainty, using it to justify increased government intervention in nearly every aspect of our lives.
More monetary and fiscal stimulus has been injected this year than ever before in history, by a long shot. Same for Federal borrowing and deficit spending.
More limitations on how we’re allowed to conduct commerce, travel and gather with our families — even what information is permissible to voice publicly — have been imposed than at any time since WW2.
Dr Paul sees this accelerating grab by the government for expanded power and control as exactly what we DON’T need to effectively and sustainably tackle the truly massive tasks ahead of us, such as beating the coronavirus and addressing our nation’s truly massive debt overhang.
The solutions to those, and nearly every problem a society faces, are rooted in expanded freedoms, self-determination, and fair systems that allow the best ideas to prevail.

To understand why, play our recent interview with Dr Ron Paul...
