What I Am Reading Part 3- Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up
Senator Rand Paul's book is a must read if you want to understand what our government did to us with COVID 19
Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up by Senator Rand Paul is an excellent critical examination of our U.S. government's response ( or lack there of and their monstrous cover-up) to the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing particularly on Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Paul, a physician and U.S. Senator, argues and shows us that the pandemic's origins and the subsequent public health measures were mishandled and obscured by federal agencies.His findings are well documented!
📘 Book Summary
In Deception, Paul contends that:
Lab-Origin Theory: COVID-19 originated from gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars through the NIH.
Cover-Up Allegations: Key officials, including Dr. Fauci, were well aware of the lab origin early on but publicly dismissed the theory, labeling it a conspiracy to protect their own personal interests.
Suppression of Dissent: Scientists , experts, physicians and the public who dared to challeng the official narrative faced professional ostracism ,censorship and loss of license and income all over the world, but especially in America., as you would find in any other country with a dictatorship or authoritarian leadership.
Policy Critique: Government-imposed lockdowns and mandates, influenced by obviously flawed and fabricated and false data and bureaucratic overreach, caused horrific societal and economic harm that will plaque us for a long time into the future.
Paul emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability to prevent future public health crises., though he shows how his afforts and those of a faithful few were thwarted by OUR government and the mainstream/ legacy media at every turn. Each eye-opening chapter is shocking, for example let me tell you about one just as an example…chapter 25-
📖 Chapter 25: “The DEFUSE Proposal and the Web of Deceit”
Chapter 25 delves into the "DEFUSE" proposal—a 2018 research plan submitted by EcoHealth Alliance to our government and military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The proposal aimed to insert a furin cleavage site into bat coronaviruses to study their potential to infect humans, a feature notably present in SARS-CoV-2.
Paul argues that:The Fund for American Studies
Foreknowledge: The research outlined in DEFUSE closely mirrors the characteristics of COVID-19, suggesting that scientists had the capability to create such a virus before the pandemic.
Government Awareness: At least 15 of our federal government’s agencies were aware of the DEFUSE proposal and its implications but continuously failed to disclose this information to the public or even to our elected officials.
Whistleblower Revelations: Marine Lt. Col. Joseph Murphy, a whistleblower, exposed internal communications indicating that officials were aware of the potential risks associated with the research but chose to suppress this knowledge.
This chapter underscores Paul's assertion that a concerted effort was made to conceal critical information about the virus's origins, thereby undermining public trust and hindering effective response strategies.
🧭 Conclusion
Senator Rand Paul's Deception presents a shocking and accurate perspective on the origins of COVID-19 and the government's mis-handling of the pandemic. Chapter 25, in particular, highlights alleged attempts by federal agencies to suppress information about risky research that contributed to the outbreak and death of over a million of our fellow citizens. Paul advocates for greater transparency and accountability to restore public trust and better prepare for future health emergencies.
