For some reason this highly credentialled Doctor has not been cancelled .

Here is is with a thesis of his own . From Jeff Childers

……………..

Dr. Harvey Risch, MD, PhD, is a pandemic hero who courageously and selflessly lent his credentials to several lawsuits challenging mandates. He is a top epidemiologist, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers in the medical literature and has been cited over 50,000 times.

Dr. Risch is a scientific superstar with impeccable bona fides.

But like many of us, the pandemic has caused Dr. Risch’s view of basic reality and his place in the world appears to be shredded apart and massively transformed, and now he’s become a full-fledged conspiracy theorist. Last week, he was in an extraordinary Rumble interview that was remarkable in several ways.

First, he offered the best explanation I’ve heard for the public health establishment’s grotesque performance during the covid period: they were bullied into it by the deep state. Two, the quiet, understated professor simply summarized: “Much of the whole response to the pandemic has been a scam that has been foisted on the American public, if not the world.” Indeed.

During the interview, Dr. Risch began by noting that during the early pandemic, he was mystified that public health experts were doing and saying the exact opposite of what they had always known was right. For example, he said:

“They did the exact opposite of all established public health protocols for managing a respiratory virus pandemic.
Some of the people, like Tom Engleseby, who’s been involved in the pandemic now, wrote the exact opposite in a major paper 2006, talking about how to manage an influenza pandemic. He said that lockdowns should not be used, closing airports should not be used, masks are useless, social distancing is useless, and so on. You manage the severity of the illness, but not the fact of the illness. And that was all correct. That was all standard health technology of 2006.
Nothing changed in public health. What changed is, who was telling the public health infrastructure what to do, and terrorizing the public health infrastructure into carrying this all out.“
Risch — a real expert — didn’t mince words. Dr. Risch thinks the government used 5th-generation psychological warfare against us, including against the experts in the medical-scientific infrastructure themselves:

What we’ve lived through has been a fifth-generation (as they say) propaganda war from the U.S. security state that took command of the pandemic on day five after the emergency in 2020. It became a propaganda WAR. Not just against the American people and people around the world, it became a propaganda war against the public health establishment itself.
(So) you had people like (former CDC Director) Rochelle Walensky being told that, if she didn’t comply with the security state requirements of what she had to say, and what her policies were, that she would be responsible for killing millions of people. And unfortunately she believed that.
He continued specifically identifying the culprit as the treasonous deep state, although Dr. Risch uses the more formal “security state” moniker, narrowing the scope to the DoD and the intelligence agencies. Risch speculated about the security state’s goals in creating the draconian, anti-scientific response that resulted in an Earth-shattering blunder of historic magnitude. But Risch was unable to come up with any theories relating to any actual national security interest, pr communal self-protective function, but all he could think of were pitifully small-minded motives of self-aggrandizement and ass covering:

“This is the problem. All of the people put in place to manage our public health response to the pandemic, themselves were propagandized, and convinced — threatened, whatever — to make policies and take actions that were exactly scientifically contrary to everything that was known bout managing a pandemic.
This came from the security state of the United States. The National Security Council. And the individuals involved in that, who had motivation for doing that, that is still somewhat unclear.
The motivations were, I think, two- or three-fold. One is, that they were attempting to cover up OUR role — the United States’ role — in creating this virus in the first place. At the same time, they were shilling for their friends, the large pharma companies, the so-called ‘public-private partnership.’ Which is basically fascism.”
Was there a time in 2020 when you felt like you were losing your mind because what you were hearing from the government was so obviously wrong, so contradictory to common sense, that you thought you must be crazy? You may feel some remote comfort that, in Dr. Risch’s highly-informed view, the government’s pandemic response was in fact irrational. You weren’t crazy:

“There were so many irrational things that were fed to the American public that were irrational behaviors, that contradict easily and observable evidence to lay people – not just to scientists — but to lay people.
For example, we know in the first month of the pandemic, the risks to older people who had multiple chronic conditions, were WAY higher from mortality from infection than to normal children and young adults. A THOUSAND-FOLD higher.
So why did we demand to vaccinate anything that moved — every human that moved, basically — had to be vaccinated? There was NO rational reason for this.”
Referring to pandemic public health as a “malignant process” and citing its “massive lies,” Dr. Risch ultimately explained that, in his view, public health officials knew what was the right thing to do, but our unaccountable, invisible, security state apparatus grabbed the public health establishment in this country by the neck and weaponized it against the rest of us:

“One could see that the motives and dissembling of things were changes in policies that incrementally boiled the frog. Public health is used to believing in the ‘noble lie,’ which is that, we are supposed to be experts in how to help people survive major threats to health, and therefore we can be forgiven for propagandizing — to mild degrees — to motivate people to choose behaviors they would otherwise shrug off thinking it won’t affect them, when we know things well, eventually.
That became a malignant process through the pandemic. These massive lies about things got promulgated through the public health establishment because they were either threatened, or manipulated, or propagandized, to believe the lies that came from above them. So much of the response to the pandemic has been a scam.”
I am not ready to let public health “experts” off the hook just because they were steamrolled by the security state. (And, I don’t think that’s what Dr. Risch was suggesting either.) But I am willing to consider that public health scientists were yet more victims of the real Architects of Disaster: the shady, inscrutable spooks haunting un-named and unknowable sub-agencies, running black budgets, playing Spy-vs-Spy with other U.S. agencies, and fronting pathetic morons like Anthony “the Science” Fauci.

That malignant security state apparatus needs to be completely disassembled, before it kills us all.

Dr. Risch was already an ally, but now it appears he has come all the way over to the anti-establishment side, making him just the latest influential establishment fixture to switch.
