Novotney: ‘Release the Covid Files’

-

Yes, by all means, keep going – release every single one of those Epstein files. Let’s finally find out, and let’s prosecute the guilty, exonerate the innocent, and let’s allow the political BS finally to play itself out. 

The sooner, the better.

It would be cleansing for our country, would provide long-overdue justice for the victims, and it would end the speculation and innuendo so we can address the tragic government overreach that held us hostage, continues to adversely impact the American public, likely caused a plethora of unnecessary deaths, and robbed children of months of their in-person education.

So, yes, let’s now force the release of the Covid Files.

Let’s find out the truth behind the precautions that locked us and our kids away for nearly a year, caused us to argue and dislike each other when someone refused to wear a mask or stand 6 feet away, and closed “non-essential” companies and placed millions of Americans on inflated – and temporary – unemployment benefits.

What about those vaccines and the sudden heart issues, the irregular blood clotting, and all of the other health issues that suddenly surfaced without signs or symptoms? Or the alcoholism, the depression, the anxiety, or other issues with mental health?

Who pays those bills?

Was it all in the name of safety? OK, maybe so, but where did Covid 19 really begin? And, whether it was a lab leak, from some sort of animal-to-human interaction or consumption, or from another point of dastardly origin, why was our most formidable world enemy playing around with such dangerous and deadly coronaviruses?

And why does it seem like the Chinese are getting away with causing such global mayhem?

It hurt people. Some permanently. And Covid 19 and the pandemic broke up marriages, divided families, caused financial strife, crashed millions of retirement funds (again), killed our most vulnerable, and the damn thing changed human habits for good.

So, yes, let us unite to demand the release of the Covid files, and then let’s allow the fame and the blame to fall where it must.
