About 18 months ago, there was some chatter in Washington about a COVID commission that would examine the wild response and evaluate its good and bad features and make recommendations for the future. From the looks of it at the time, it seemed pretty obvious where it was going. In effect, it was going to be a cover-up, just government and industry leaders and anointed “experts” touting their wise decision-making while offering some mild tweaks for the future.

The commission never formed. Why not? Pretty simple: absolutely no one would have believed it. There are too many people now wise as to the incredible screwups. We have all the receipts. The time for a whitewash really did pass them by. So the next step in this was just to forget about it. Pretend like it never happened. Never mind that we dwell amidst the astonishing carnage from inflation to labor displacement to youth demoralization to massive excess deaths and ill-health.

Still they wanted to move on. To be sure, other countries have formed commissions and produced reports. Most were weak but they were not entirely devoid of criticisms. It’s a good start. In the United States, we’ve seen some pathetic attempts within the CDC to say “whoops” more or less but only then recommend pathetic changes like more “communication” and “coordination.”

Mostly, the people who did this to us want it to go away.

That now becomes impossible. Some of the nations’ leading epidemiologists and scientists have just published a very robust document that presents the essential template for a serious COVID commission. The document lays it all out in a very organized way. They cover all the bases. After each section, they offer what amounts to perhaps a thousand questions that cry out for answers.

The document is “Questions for a COVID-19 Commission” authored by The Norfolk Group. You can see one author’s commentary. They have a website which allows you to download the entire PDF. You can also buy a coil-bound version and send to your representative while demanding answers.

The authors worked on this detailed 80-page document for perhaps 8 months, and the efforts show. It is comprehensive. If followed, we might finally get some answers concerning what happened to our rights and liberties and how it is that the bureaucracies at all levels came to rule our lives so completely and so incompetently, while the media played along and tech companies censored competing views.

The authors are:

Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D.; epidemiologist, health economist, and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine; founding fellow of the Academy of Science and Freedom.
Leslie Bienen, MFA, DVM; veterinarian, zoonotic disease researcher, and faculty member at Oregon Health & Science University-Portland State University School of Public Health (through Dec. 31st, 2022). She left in January 2023 to work in healthcare policy.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
