Those include the facts that the \u201cvirus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature\u201d and the fact that \u201cWuhan is home to China\u2019s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee highlighted a variety of findings in various sections of the report, and of course, there is a section devoted to the vaccine mandates, which many Americans were subjected to under President Biden. It was only thanks to the Supreme Court that millions of Americans were saved from losing their jobs as the Biden administration attempted to force the vaccine via the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The high court&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/health\/2022\/01\/13\/supreme-court-rejects-bidens-osha-vaccine-mandate-on-private-employers-upholds-cms-mandate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rejected<\/a>&nbsp;this mandate in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary of the 520-page report concludes that \u201ccontrary to what was promised, the COVID-19 vaccine did not stop the spread or transmission of the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, it notes that the FDA rushed approval of the vaccine in order to meet the Biden administration\u2019s \u201carbitrary mandate timeline.\u201d They did this despite warnings about the dangers of rushing the process and potential consequences, which include adverse effects of the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the committee found that the vaccine mandates were not supported by science whatsoever and \u201ccaused more harm than good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Administration coerced healthy Americans into compliance with COVID-19 vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions of Americans without sufficient evidence to support their policy decisions,\u201d the summary reads, noting that public health officials coordinated with each other to deliberately ignore the reality of natural immunity to the virus. In other words, they failed to craft policy with that reality in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps what is worse, the committee determined that there was mass government failure in the vaccine injury reporting system, which they said \u201ccreated confusion, failed to properly inform the American public about vaccine injuries, and deteriorated public trust in vaccine safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government was also \u201cfailing to efficiently, fairly, and transparently adjudicate claims for the COVID-19 vaccine injured,\u201d they wrote in the summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation also found that mask mandates were wholly ineffective, despite the ongoing demonization against those who refused to wear masks at the time. That demonization of unmasked and unvaccinated Americans was very much encouraged by Biden himself, even suggesting that they were unpatriotic.https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-4.html#1436302343419670535<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/12.04.2024-SSCP-FINAL-REPORT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report,<\/a>&nbsp;which detailed the mixed messaging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Ultimately, a systematic review carried out by Cochrane Collaboration\u2014one of the most highly regarded methodologies in evidence-based healthcare\u2014found that the pooled randomized control trials they analyzed \u201cdid not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical\/surgical masks\u201d and that \u201c[t]here were no clear differences between the use of medical\/surgical masks compared with N95\/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection.\u201d These results appear to directly contradict public health agencies\u2019 and local governments\u2019 support for broadly requiring masking throughout much of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite that, the Biden administration attempted to force masks. But the committee highlighted this finding: \u201cThe Biden Administration Exceeded its Authority by Mandating Masks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is apparent that the CDC and the Biden Administration cherry-picked observational data to fit their narrative that masks are fully effective,\u201d the report reads. \u201cYet, that is not the role of the CDC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe CDC is an agency meant to protect the American people, and part of that responsibility includes conducting, sponsoring, or at the very least examining clinical trials to actually have the best available research before formulating its guidance,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) said in a letter to Congress that the coronavirus pandemic \u201chighlighted a distrust in leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrust is earned. Accountability, transparency, honesty, and integrity will regain this trust. A future pandemic requires a whole of America response managed by those without personal benefit or bias,\u201d he added. \u201cWe can always do better, and for the sake of future generations of Americans, we must.
