One more thing...We don't know what Musk was thinking when he offered a cryptic "Prosecute Fauci" statement. The only direct connection between Musk and Fauci is that Fauci was one of the government agents involved in suppressing COVID dissent at Twitter and other social media. Musk may be talking about prosecuting Fauci for First Amendment violations. There is already a pending civil lawsuit, I believe.

It is true that at the time I wrote this I was making assumptions about Musk's motivation. Since then, I have learned he's also tweeted "“As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people” It is still unclear if Musk is just calling for others to prosecute Fauci or if he intends to be involved in a lawsuit directed at Fauci himself. But, it does now appear that Musk's beef with Fauci goes deeper than first amendment (free speech) rights.

Good summary. Thanks for bringing all this together. A few comments. First, I'm not as sure as you that Huff is trustworthy; he may be a limited hangout. IMO, it is just as likely that COVID came from an American lab at Fort Detrick and was brought to Wuhan during the military games in October. Second, yes, it's not just Glen Beck -- NIAID has an IP interest in vaccines that are developed by its contractors, and there are individuals, including Dr F, who reap royalty payments from these arrangements.

A reference for correlation between vaccination rate and COVID deaths is Subramanian, S.V., Kumar, A. Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States. Eur J Epidemiol (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7

Finally, let's be careful about endorsing the movie Died Suddenly. It is a propaganda piece, and serves well to shock some people into realizing that the COVID vaccines can be deadly, but the documentation is sloppy, and a few factual errors open us to being dismissed out-of-hand by those who want to do this. https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/what-is-causing-the-died-suddenly

Thank you for the Subramanian reference. I hope you don't mind if I edit that into the article. I have updated my footnote on "Died Suddenly" to say I don't endorse the speculation in the film but do endorse the actual interviews with embalmers from 5:45 to 28:00. I'll check out Midwestern Doctor's review.

"Still others, such as Nobel prize winner Luc Montagnier, noted the existence of HIV gene sequences in COVID-19 which, because HIV is generally considered to only be found in humans, is extremely unlikely, if not impossible, to have been inside of a bat where it would have needed to be if it were somehow included in a coronavirus mutation of bat origins."

The problem being that there are not in fact any HIV gene sequences in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The assertions to this effect were complete nonsense.

And as for Luc Montagnier, he was almost certainly senile given his promotion of homeopathy and the bonkers concept of "DNA teleportation".
