      People in gov’t and with influence still have great sway in what happens to the world, which in turn impacts the working class.

      If you do not see it that way, I would implore you to start or continue to talk with people that you do not agree with or those that do not think like you.

      I am not for the duopoly, but some individual humans that are a part of the system still share knowledge or views that can help us push our own bias and to question our world views.

      I do agree, we must always be highly critical of those with power and influence; and careful to not become an apologetic or celeb worshipper that does not question, only follows.

    Summary

    1. The testimony revealed a contradiction between Dr. Fauci and his deputy David Moren regarding the use of private emails and phones. This raises questions about who is telling the truth and the need for further investigation.
    2. The actions of David Moren, including the destruction of evidence and his role as a personal courier, may warrant prosecution and further scrutiny. This could potentially lead to a clearer picture of what transpired.
    3. The issue of gain-of-function research and its potential dangers is a significant concern. Rand Paul suggests treating it with the same level of seriousness as nuclear weapons, including negotiations and voluntary bans among countries.
    4. The lack of transparency from the NIH, as compared to the CIA, is alarming and should be addressed. The secretive nature of the NIH hinders accountability and public trust.
    5. Despite the partisan nature of the hearing, there is bipartisan support for investigating the origins of COVID-19 and holding those responsible accountable. This indicates a shared concern for public health and safety.
