Last week, Americans learned just how badly the scientific so-called “experts” mishandled the covid pandemic. Republican members of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released the transcript of an interview with Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the National Institutes of Health.

Collins admitted he knew of “no science or evidence” to support the six-foot social distancing guideline imposed during covid.

This is a scandal. The six-feet-of-separation rule had damaging real life consequences. It made it impossible for schools to reopen, because teachers’ unions insisted the guideline be observed. Businesses suffered untold costs trying to follow the guidelines.

Yet Francis Collins, Anthony Fauci and others who imposed this regime have escaped all accountability. That, too, is a massive scandal.

The countless Americans who suffered, personally and economically, deserve better. This abuse of scientific authority must never happen again.
