The House COVID Committee has released its final report after a 2-year investigation.
MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. The possibility that COVID-19 emerged because of a laboratory or research related accident is not a conspiracy theory.
2. EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. and Dr. Peter Daszak should never again receive U.S. taxpayer dollars.
3. Scientific messaging must be clear and concise, backed by evidentiary support, and come from trusted messengers, such as front-line doctors treating patients.
4. Public health officials must work to regain Americans’ trust; Americans want to be educated, not indoctrinated.
5. Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo participated in medical malpractice and publicly covered up the total number of nursing home fatalities in New York.
6. The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
7. The Chinese government, agencies within the U.S. Government, and some members of the international scientific community sought to cover-up facts concerning the origins of the pandemic.
8. Operation Warp Speed was a tremendous success and a model to build upon in the future. The vaccines, which are now probably better characterized as therapeutics, undoubtedly saved millions of lives by diminishing likelihood of severe disease and death.
9. Rampant fraud, waste, and abuse plagued the COVID-19 pandemic response.
10. Pandemic-era school closures will have enduring impact on generations of America’s children and these closures were enabled by groups meant to serve those children.
11. The Constitution cannot be suspended in times of crisis and restrictions on freedoms sow distrust in public health.
12. The prescription cannot be worse than the disease, such as strict and overly broad lockdowns that led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences.

What are your thoughts? We have seen the data and reports on the vaccines. Was Operation Warp Speed really a “success?” Is there some information warfare occurring with this narrative?
How do you rate South Dakota’s response, in retrospect?
