Weeks later, that same group of concerned scientists would publish the Proximal Origin shutting down debate that COVID-19 could have come from a lab. In an internal email, NIH Director Francis Collins notes that he and Fauci helped with the paper “but are appropriately not mentioned."

EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Era Intelligence Assessments On Directed Energy Attacks or Havana Syndrome Rescinded @dnigabbard After Our 2025 Investigation Despite facing systemic resistance within the US intelligence community, an @ODNIgov official confirms Gabbard has rescinded two, Biden-era Intelligence Community Assessments (ICA) related to AHI's (Anomalous Health Incidents) or Havana Syndrome on Thursday in a memo sent to the entire Intelligence Community. The Biden-era assessments concluded it was very unlikely a foreign adversary or novel weapon was behind debilitating brain injuries among spies, diplomats, military operatives and civilians. @DNIGabbard committed to a new review after our 2025 independent investigation (posted again here) revealed progressive brain injuries and cases of brain cell death. - This fulfills Gabbard's promise to initiate a review of the assessments, make the findings public, and ensure the mistreatment and dismissal of those impacted by AHIs is never again tolerated. - In the memo, DNI Gabbard explains that "a substantive recall of these ICAs is necessary and appropriate due to concerns about analytic bias negatively impacting the objectivity and soundness of analytic judgments." - She goes on to detail several of the IC analytic “shortfalls” of the AHI ICAs, to include: — “Failure to use all available sources of intelligence information and selectively excluding intelligence and evidence which did not support the analytic conclusions” —“Mischaracterizing the contents and sources of the underlying information to support the analytic conclusions and suppress analysis of alternatives” —“Misrepresenting and omitting information necessary to understand the quality and reliability of underlying sources of intelligence” —“Inclusion and reliance on an ethically flawed medical study while omitting information critical of the study and its methodology” —“Limiting operations and intelligence collection to maintain an analytic line which relied on the absence of evidence.” -DNI Gabbard directed the Intelligence Community to take further action in the coming months to review this topic, ensure analytic integrity, and bring the truth to the American people. NOTE: In April 2025, we shared the story of Mike Beck and his wife Rita. Beck was a decorated counterintelligence officer who was hit by a directed energy weapon in 1996 while on assignment overseas. Diagnosed with a Parkinson's like syndrome, Beck passed away earlier this year. Because of Mike Beck's bravery, his wife Rita, and many whistleblowers who came forward, change is happening and accountability is possible.

This is huge news for the AHI victim community, analytic integrity, and for the American people. These flawed, fraudulent, and manufactured Intelligence Community Assessments (ICA) have caused significant harm to some of our nation’s bravest. ICAs carry a great deal of weight, particularly when declassified as part of a public messaging effort, as was done with the AHI ICA. The assessment was deliberately manufactured and used to discredit some of our nation’s bravest and impede their access to medical care. As was the case with other high-visibility intelligence assessments, it fell far short of analytic integrity standards. Today’s action by @DNIGabbard is a glimmer of hope for our nation’s intelligence officers, service members, and diplomats stationed around the world who have defended this country in austere locations and subsequently had the nation they served turn its back on them. Thank you to Director Gabbard for keeping her commitment to this Committee and me, and for her overall willingness to do the right thing. I am incredibly grateful.

BREAKING: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield Slams Biden-Era Military COVID Vaccine Mandate as Having “No Scientific Justification” This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield and Brianne Dressen — a vaccine injury advocate who was a clinical trial volunteer that developed lifelong neuropathy within one hour of taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Redfield exclusively reveals that he believes the Biden-era military mandates had “no scientific justification...and was an emotional decision," while noting institutional reluctance to acknowledge harms to young service members with strong immune systems. Dressen discusses the disproportionate toll the vaccine took on young service members, including @StancikKaroline who we previously interviewed. This wide ranging interview digs deep on the vaccine fallout for our nation's service members. @thelatmg @latimesstudios_ 01:04 Brianne Dressen: Her Advocacy for Covid Vaccine Injured is Personal @React19org 01:57 An “Inordinate Number” of Young Vaccine Injured Service Members 02:30 Former CDC Director Robert Redfield: Military COVID Vaccine Mandate “No Scientific Justification Whatsoever” 03:10 Most Severe Response In Young, With Robust Immune Systems 04:02 Soldier Karoline Stancik’s Heart Condition “Service Connected” To Covid Vaccine 05:01 Rare for Covid Vaccine Injuries to be Designated “In Line of Duty” 06:52 Drew’s Story: COVID Vaccine Injury And Whole Body Paralysis (Guillain-Barré Syndrome) 08:30 Service Members Spend Down Savings, Retirement, And Mortgage Homes For Treatments 09:30 Dressen: Vaccine Injury Compensation Has a “98.5 %” Rejection Rate 12:50 Dressen: Service Members Report VA Experience “Abysmal Failure,” Reluctance to Acknowledge COVID Vaccine Injury 15:22 Is Trump Administration Taking Different Approach to COVID Vaccine Injury: More Dialogue 16:55 Bressen: I Was A “True Blue” Democrat, After COVID Shot “My Life Changed Forever” 18:20 Karoline Stancik Update 19:04 Update @drewoutstanding In response to our questions, a VA spokesperson said “Between December 2020 and December 2025, 53 cases of myocarditis were identified among over 5.6 million VHA-enrolled Veterans who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Veterans are eligible for service connection if myocarditis develops during active duty…” A Department of War official said DoW “is making reinstatement available to all members of the military (active and reserve components) who were discharged solely for refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and who request to be reinstated. The Department has reached out to the 8,700 Service members who were unjustly separated to apologize, offer information on reinstatement, and encourage them to rejoin the military.” “As of May 2026, more than 200 former Service members who were discharged under the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccination mandate have been reinstated or re-accessed. The Services are actively tracking more than 800 additional former Service members who have expressed interest in rejoining the military.” Asked about the high rejection rate, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program did not respond.

In 2021 a DARPA whistleblower said that he had uncovered a grant proposal in an unmarked folder with plans to create viruses like COVID, and that names of Wuhan scientists on the grant proposal matched names in U.S. intelligence intercepts. Less than two weeks after the DARPA whistleblower’s report, the NSC “warmly” invited Fauci to be briefed again.
