016 - Fauci Lied
Send us a text In this episode of the Healthy & Awake Podcast, we challenge the mainstream narrative on the origins of COVID-19. Using factual information and testimony from the recent Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing, we delve into the possibility of a lab leak in Wuhan and its potential role in the global pandemic. Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testified that evidence suggests a lab leak was the more likely origin of COVID-19. We also examine how Dr. Fauci's previous statements contradict the evidence presented in the hearing, and how this contradiction raises important questions about the trustworthiness of our public health officials. Join us for an eye-opening discussion on the truth behind the origins of COVID-19, as we uncover the facts that the mainstream media won't tell you in "Fauci Lied." - Covid Origins Hearing with Dr Redfield - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXXWRaM-sWQ - Twitter files- https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1636729166631432195 - https://twitter.com/warclandestine/status/1630043881172619266 - Substacks:- Malone - https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/information-wars-sars-cov-2-origin?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=583200&post_id=105815469&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email - Mercola - https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/bioengineered-pandemics- California medical censorship - https://maryannedemasi.substack.com/p/new-law-seeks-to-gag-doctors-contradicting- More evidence - https://karenkingston.substack.com/p/part-1-dismantling-the-the-deceptions
