This week, the Biden administration rolled out its federal vaccine mandate, affecting 100 million workers. Is it needed? Or have politicians been too quick to press the panic button over COVID-19? John Tamny thinks so. He’s the director of the Center for Economic Freedom at FreedomWorks and author of the book, “When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason.” And in America Q&A, we ask if you think D.C. is overspending or are bigger budgets needed to tackle big issues. Next, as it gets harder to refuse the vaccine, those who’ve suffered from it just want to be heard and cured. This week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) hosted an Expert Panel on Federal Vaccine Mandates and Vaccine Injuries to bring attention to the widely ignored issue. We hear two of the many stories shared that day, from people who’ve suffered life-altering damage after volunteering for a vaccine trial. They say not only are they being ignored by the agencies that promised to look after them, but if their data isn’t being captured, that affects all of us. Finally, in America Q&A we ask: do you know anyone who’s had a bad, lasting reaction to the vaccine?

With the woke mob culture and identity politics, it helps to find humor in the hypocrisy and extreme nature in the many narratives being used. To learn more about the role of humor and satire in political discourse, we sat down for an interview with Kyle Mann, editor-in-chief of The Babylon Bee, and co-author of “The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness.” We’re being heavily censored by Big Tech.

According to its newly published earnings report, Pfizer is proverbially swimming in cash. In fact, both its revenue, as well as its profits, have more than doubled in the third quarter of this year, when you compare it to a year ago. And most of that growth, as you can guess, is being driven by vaccine sales. That number might climb even higher in the near future—since at this very moment, the CDC is considering whether or not to allow 5- to 11-year-olds to get the shot as well. If that comes through, that would obviously be a lot of new customers for Pfizer. However, not everything is peaches and cream. That’s because, according to a new report that was just published in the British Medical Journal, a whistleblower from one of the subcontractors that ran several of Pfizer’s clinical trial sites is alleging that the trial was plagued with issues—including the falsification of data, unblinded patients, as well as very big delays in following up on adverse reactions. And the kicker is that after she reported this to the FDA, she was fired within several hours. Resources: 🔵 Sekur (promo code: Roman) https://ept.ms/3yW0Wul

“Since the Athenian plague in 430 B.C. … we have known about natural immunity. So it’s strange that suddenly people are questioning that,” says Dr. Martin Kulldorff. Nurses and caregivers who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection have “stronger, longer-lasting immunity” than vaccinated individuals who have not been infected before, Dr. Kulldorff says, making these nurses and caregivers actually the “least likely to infect the residents.” Instead of firing them if they refuse to take the vaccine, hospitals and nursing homes should do the exact opposite: They should actively hire people with natural immunity and assign these individuals to the wards with especially vulnerable patients, he argues. Dr. Kulldorff is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a biostatistician and epidemiologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He is also one of the co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration. We discuss the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines, the politicization of science, and the Biden administration’s recent push to mandate vaccines for children.

The remarkable similarities between a recently leaked 2018 proposal from EcoHealth Alliance head Peter Daszak and the defining characteristics of COVID-19 raise new questions regarding the origins of the pandemic. Daszak’s proposal details how he and his collaborators from the Wuhan Institute of Virology planned to genetically engineer a “human-specific” furin cleavage site into coronaviruses. A furin cleavage site is the defining feature of the coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan in 2019. The proposal also detailed the creation of entirely new consensus virus backbones, which would have no clear ancestor in nature. The lack of ancestral lineage is a notable feature of COVID-19. Daszak further proposed to create a novel nanoparticle coronavirus vaccine. At the same time, the Wuhan Institute of Virology had developed a remarkably similar vaccine utilizing what appears to be the same technology.

“It’s not as if you can replace these people overnight,” says Kash Patel. “What’s Joe Biden going to do? Eliminate the tip of the spear of the United States military?” In this episode, we discuss the growing challenges to vaccine mandates, from the Special Forces to law enforcement. “We’re talking about hundreds if not thousands of people across the country.”

A new COVID-19 pill that can purportedly cut the risk of both hospitalization as well as death from COVID-19—by as much as 50 percent—is now in the process of getting emergency use authorization. However, according to several researchers, the technology that this pill uses runs the risk of potentially causing cancer, although, according to one researcher we spoke with, we likely won’t know until many years later. Regardless though, according to a contract that Merck signed with the U.S. government in 2020, once they gain authorization, Merck is set to rake in massive profits because the markup on these pills is astronomical. Lastly, I had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Zach Voorhies, who was a senior software engineer at Google before he became a whistleblower, and he explained to me how a system that Google built, called machine learning fairness, works behind the scenes to censor what Americans, like you and me, can see, hear, and talk about.

After decades of continuous wars, the United States has a large veteran community, and with some needing care for PTSD or having trouble integrating after leaving the battlefield, various services exist to help veterans. But do these programs provide what’s needed, or do they sometimes only exacerbate the problems? To learn more about this, we sat down for an interview with Jeff Barnes, executive director of the Veterans Business Builder Program, who explained the need for challenges instead of coddling, and for a mission approach to advance forward.

“The result of the Cultural Revolution … is the total destruction of society.” In this episode, we sit down with Xi Van Fleet, a Virginia mom from China who made headlines after she compared the rise of critical race theory to China’s Cultural Revolution at a Loudoun County school board meeting. Just as people in China were designated class enemies at birth, now whites in America are born guilty under critical race theory ideology, she says. The old catch-all charge of being a “counterrevolutionary” has now been replaced with the new crime of being “racist.” Stripped of its original meaning, it now simply refers to anyone who strays from leftist orthodoxy, she argues.

We sat down with Scott Walker, former governor of Wisconsin, to discuss the strength of Wisconsin election laws and how the current administration subverts those laws by not following them.

The defining trait of all communist movements has been a belief in social struggle and movements against traditional religious belief. We unpack the Marxist idea of dialectical materialism, and explore how the deeper beliefs behind the communist movement have waged a war against religion, culture, and social harmony.

“To me, it’s unconscionable that a society uses its children as shields for adults. Children do not have a significant risk from this illness… Are we [as] a society, a civilization … going to inject our children with an experimental drug that they don’t have a significant benefit from, to shield ourselves?” —Dr. Scott Atlas

As students are starting to return to school in the wake of the pandemic, teacher unions have played a big part in the return to normalcy. But some teacher unions have politicized the return and used their positions to push for policies in support of issues like critical race theory, defunding the police, and Medicare for all—policies that fall more in line with advocacy than education. And these same teacher unions have been plagued with problems ranging from poor use of funds, lack of financial transparency in education budgets, and politicized curricula being implemented across the country. To learn more about this we sat down for an interview with Bob Bowden, director of “The Cartel” about public education in the US and the influence of teacher unions.

“We need to honor all those who perished on those flights and also honor those that responded and answered the call, not just on 9/11, but in the 20 years since.” In this episode, Kash Patel and Jan Jekielek look back at the harrowing events that led up to the worst terrorist attack in American history, the War on Terror that followed, and what the United States should do now. “We have to be more forward-looking and not just reactionary as terrorist acts occur,” Patel says.

“The biggest threat to liberty and prosperity in this country” is the “new marriage of big government and big business,” says Vivek Ramaswamy. “It is this new woke industrial complex… a new Leviathan.” Ramaswamy is the founder of several successful companies, including Roivant Sciences, and author of the new book “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam.” It’s crony capitalism 2.0, Ramaswamy argues. And the biggest beneficiary of all is the Chinese Communist Party, he says. Subscribe to the American Thought Leaders newsletter so you never miss an episode.

The Chinese government is developing biological weapons that can attack DNA strands specific to targeted racial groups. According to Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” these “ethnic-specific pathogens” could amount to “civilization killers,” and leave China as the world’s “only viable civilization.” This development is happening as China amasses the largest collection of American DNA profiles, even larger than what the United States has, through the purchase of DNA sequencing companies. We sat down with Gordon Chang to learn more about why these developments necessitate the immediate attention of the U.S. government, and of governments around the world.

The declassified version of President Joe Biden’s Intelligence Community assessment into the origins of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus has been released. And it tells us more about our intelligence agencies and the Biden administration than it does about the origin of the virus. The report seems determined to avoid the use of readily available information and instead chooses to reinforce what is unknown. The report also takes obvious pains not to upset the CCP with harsh conclusions. We examine each segment of the report and provide the answers that the Intelligence Community refuses to address.

China is ramping up its space exploration goals. This June, Beijing sent up a spaceship carrying three astronauts. Hours later, they arrived at the country’s new space station in Earth’s orbit. Officials declared that the docking “fully achieved China’s original goal.” Marking its next achievement, China’s Mars rover later landed on the red planet and sent photos back to earth. The mission made China one of the world’s first nations to land a rover on the dusty red surface, behind the United States. China’s lunar exploration program chief commander says China must progress its space program to safeguard the country’s space rights. He likens the moon and Mars to islands in the South China Sea, areas China seeks to lay claim to. Have other topics you want us to cover?

Public health experts are not inherently more logical or intelligent than the public, and the wide availability of source information means they should be held accountable for selectively choosing their facts to fit an agenda.

When Kabul fell, retired Army Lt. Colonel and Green Beret Scott Mann received a text from a friend, an Afghan commando named Nezam, about the situation. This commando was someone whom Mann had met during one of his tours in Afghanistan, and he had even been shot through the face while protecting U.S. special forces in combat. Mann wanted to get his friend, who was receiving threats of beheading from the Taliban, out to safety—and from this, Task Force Pineapple was born. This new “underground railroad” has been helping people looking to escape the Taliban and find freedom outside the country, and is being run mainly by American veterans, with the help of former contacts they have in Afghanistan and some active duty service members. To learn more about this initiative, we sat down for an interview with retired Lt. Colonel Scott Mann. Support Operation Recovery here: https://www.operationrecovery.org/ Watch Lt. Col.

In part one of this American Thought Leaders episode, mRNA vaccine inventor Dr. Robert Malone explained the latest research on COVID-19 vaccines, booster shots, and natural immunity. Now in part two, we take a closer look at repurposed drugs like ivermectin and how a universal vaccination policy could actually backfire—and bring about the emergence of vaccine-resistant escape mutants. At their core, vaccine mandates are not just unethical and divisive, but also “impractical and unnecessary,” says Dr. Malone. You can watch the first part of this episode here.

What does the most recent research say about the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines? In this two-part episode, we sit down again with Dr. Malone for a comprehensive look at the vaccines, booster shots, repurposed drugs like ivermectin, and the ethics of vaccine mandates.

For years, Western investors have almost forgotten something that they’re now being reminded of the hard way—that China is a communist country. Recent moves by Chinese authorities have sent Chinese stocks plummeting—washing away billions of dollars and causing many to question: is China still investment-worthy?
