They keep telling us the country is divided because we disagree about politics, but the real division runs deeper: between Americans who demand truth and the ruling class that thinks it can manage us with comforting lies. For years hardworking people were told the shots would stop the spread, that masks and passports were about protecting neighbors, and that compliance was patriotism. That promise mattered — it was used to justify mandates, lost jobs, and social exile — and it turns out the promise was hollow.
A Pfizer executive bluntly acknowledged at a European Parliament hearing that the company did not know before the vaccine’s market release whether the jab prevented transmission, and her nod to speed and risk has been replayed millions of times. That admission was not a dramatic lie buried in a secret memo; it was said out loud under oath and then minimized by establishment fact-checkers who insisted the clip was being taken out of context.
Here’s the crucial technical point they hoped you’d forget: the original clinical trials were designed to show whether vaccinated people got sick or died less often, not to measure whether vaccinated people stopped passing the virus to others. The Food and Drug Administration itself acknowledged early on that data on transmission were not available when it issued emergency authorization, which means public officials were selling certainty where none existed.
Yet the public narrative was different. Politicians, press spokesmen, and many celebrities pushed the idea that vaccines would crush community spread, and those reassurances became the moral cudgel used to shame and coerce. Mainstream fact-checks later explained that transmission studies came later, but that does not erase the damage done by a policy regime that punished dissent while messaging certainty.
Worse still, internal emails and later reports show officials understood limits to the narrative far earlier than they admitted, and safety signals were flagged behind closed doors while the public-facing script stayed the same. Americans lost jobs, trust, and sometimes their health after being told to obey “for the common good” — and when whistleblowers or skeptics raised reasonable questions, institutions moved to censor and silence them instead of answering.
This isn’t about denying science; it’s about demanding honesty and accountability. If a private company or a powerful agency tells you something that shapes your freedoms, you have a right to full transparency, not staged apologies and weak fact-checks after the fact. Americans deserve leaders who tell the truth upfront, accept responsibility when they’re wrong, and stop treating policy like PR — and if they won’t provide that, citizens need to elect people who will.
