Covid.gov, the US Government-run website dedicated for years to COVID-19 misinformation and outright lies, has just been altered to reflect numerous truths about the Covid regime. Finally, some semblance of accountability is present. However, let us never forget the sins of the past five years. The first casualty of COVID-19 was truth. Support our fight to preserve it. >>>In late 2019, Dr. Li Wenliang, a young physician in Wuhan, China, warned colleagues about a strange new virus spreading through hospitals. He was arrested by the CCP and forced to sign a false confession, amidst accusations of disturbing the social order. In February 2020, just months later, Dr. Wenliang died from COVID-19. Before his death, he shared a haunting statement that would become a cry for freedom. “I think there should be more than one voice in a healthy society, and I don’t approve of using public power for excessive interference.” It was a warning to the world. And instead of heeding it, the West embraced it. Science played second fiddle to politics. Dissenting physicians were deplatformed, demonized, and fired. Even now, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the most outspoken critics of the lockdown regime, has been vindicated and appointed to the NIH. This is a small but meaningful step toward restoring credibility to public health. Public health policy was dictated not through dialogue, but decree. The media became a state-adjacent apparatus of enforcement. The people, once free citizens, were treated like inmates in Plato’s cave, where flickering shadows cast by central planners replaced truth, and anyone who turned toward the light was branded a threat. Join us in defending individual freedom from global overreach >>> The 2025 peer-reviewed Narrative Review of the COVID-19 Infodemic and Censorship in Healthcare confirms what many of us lived through. Governments and corporations coordinated to censor dissent, distort public perception, and monopolize scientific discourse. Social platforms became digital enforcement for the state. As the Twitter Files later revealed, U.S. agencies collaborated with tech companies to create a censorship-industrial complex that crushed dissent beneath the guise of “disinformation control.” These tactics weren’t new. Only the scale was. When the Spanish Flu killed over 675,000 Americans, the government didn’t mandate lockdowns, masks, or national emergency powers. Communities made decisions. People were treated as adults. In contrast, COVID-19 became a crisis of convenience. It was used to centralize control, crush individual liberties, and reorganize society without consent. We were told to “trust the science,” while scientists were censored. We were told mandates would save lives, while lives were ruined. For a virus with a 99%+ survival rate for most, children were masked, silenced, and isolated. Schools were closed. Mental health deteriorated. Language development regressed. Children, who faced the lowest risk, bore the highest burden, not from the virus, but from our response to it. Pfizer, Moderna and others, shielded from liability, raked in billions. Their products were mandated under penalty of exclusion from work, travel, and public life. Yet, those who raised concerns, even respected doctors, were smeared as conspiracists. What wasn’t profitable was labeled misinformation. Help us resist the next “emergency” power grab >>> And still today, the architecture of emergency control remains. Powers granted under COVID were never fully rolled back. Bureaucrats discovered just how easy it is to take once-unthinkable actions and make them routine. We now live in a political environment where the next “emergency,” whether viral, digital, environmental, or financial, can and will be used to justify restrictions on every aspect of individual liberty. The World Health Organization, which early on echoed China’s false claims and helped suppress the lab-leak theory, now seeks binding international control over global health emergencies. The proposed WHO Pandemic Treaty would allow bureaucrats in Geneva to override local authority during pandemics, dictate national health policy, impose travel restrictions, and mandate medical interventions, all without the consent of the governed. The Libertarian Party was the only political party to formally oppose this dangerous treaty and call for the United States to withdraw from the WHO. Let us be clear: in 2020, the Libertarian Party failed to speak out as it should have. That silence was a black eye on our record, and we will not allow it to happen again. Our resolution to oppose the WHO treaty reflects what should be common sense. Pandemic response must be local, voluntary, and subject to constitutional limits, not outsourced to foreign technocrats and corporate profiteers. Governments never let a crisis go to waste. The next one is coming.Whether it’s a virus, a war, or a climate “emergency,” the formula remains the same. Fear. Obedience. Power consolidation. The question is not if this will happen again. It’s when. We must be ready. Not just to resist, but to reclaim what was taken. |
