No one is ever fired. No one ever goes to jail.
Our Generals haven't been fired in decades.
The NIH can’t afford to clear the air. The truth is too icky.
Another fact: During the pandemic the leadership at NIH failed to act honorably in the public interest and violated the trust placed in them by the public.
Hell will freeze over before any of them ever admit any faults or mistakes made related to the pandemic.
Pure projection
It was unbelievable what they did to the world and the people!!! We were attacked..ostracized..physically and mentally abused.. shutdown businesses and fired if you didn’t get the stinkin’ VAXX!!!
Fauci & Crew should be in Leavenworth.
Or UNDER Leavenworth!
Learn the subject. It's not my job to educate y'all.
@@alexanderwhite298 Wow, 'y'all' sounds very "educated".
@@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd it's there for all y'all that would come next. You just proved my point.
@@alexanderwhite298 Point? Rather blunted, I think. Drunk posting?
I just wish people would listen to John Kennedy more 🙏
Kennedy is brilliant, a joy to listen to, not arrogant, neither is he afraid to attack a bad witness’s statement. The Country is blessed to have him in that seat. I would have loved to have seen HIM as President.
He and many others talk tuff and do nothing. He turns around and votes for funding and most everything democrats want. He had me fooled for a long time, but talk with hardly any action is cheap
Absolutely Brilliant Speech Senator John Kennedy!! Thank You Good Sir.
We don't want to hear anything from those criminals
NIH isn’t going to explain anything to the public.
NO THEY ARE NOT..I had not trusted the gov since I stopped during the Gulf War.
Defund NIAID & NIH
Defund MAGA. FDJT
And WHO and the UN
@@BobM.-to9ji the bots come out to play. Stay in your dark web lane.
@@MrMcgooOG - And who are you? I'm not a bot and I can tell you that dude got exactly what he deserved, should have just complied. They had to pull his gun out of his cold dead hands..... that is what your bumper stickers say right?
@@BobM.-to9ji Maga puts America and all Americans first...how is that a bad thing. Whenever they interview anyone ( black, white, hispanic and asian) after they've been to a Trump rally they all say the same thing. They all say that there was thousands of people (no fighting) and everyone enjoyed themselves no matter their skin color and the rally was full of love. Just watch what the people said who were at the Trump rally in the Bronx ..it's on youtube
Don't expect them to actually tell the truth.
We will not respect any international law system
Yes we do have you heard of international law.
I have bad news for you. International law and multilateral treates exist.
Kennedy a giant in the Senate
thank you
How bout just stop gain of function research, there is no benefit.
There is a 'benefit' and other countries do this type of research all the time. Granted, other countries do it under military research and call it something different, but since that is illegal in our country our government just started calling it gain of function research.
its been going on for a long long long time..don't kid yourself. Using that kind of a thing as a weapon is much cheaper than funding a military.

If it is too dangerous to do in the US, it is is even more dangerous to do it elsewhere.

I see some one wants to stay ignorant.
@@alexanderwhite298 Lol
@@DonnaVaren-xw7uk learn the subject matter before you decide to give your opinion on it.
Ditto dude😂
@@DonnaVaren-xw7uk I know it.
A perfect speech and an extremely reasonable request.
Hopefully the NIH will improve with Fauci gone.
Considering they're his handpicked successors, not likely
Fauci's wife is the Head of Ethics Dept at the NIH
Agreed,,
Well said Senator Kennedy 👏 🇮🇪
Senator Kennedy always does his homework on every hearing. I can’t say that about too many others that I know of. Sen Hawley, Jim Jordan, Sen, Cruz are also very good at their job and excellent debaters.
😊Thank you Senator Kennedy!
What did we get right during the pandemic; that would be an awfully short list
America is blessed to have this man
First time I ever heard 'gain of function' was during an apprenticeship in construction where the sars vaccine was mandatory if you wanted to graduate. We needed a card proving we passed the physical and had the shot. Boy did something in that line of work make me so horribly sick my legs stopped working and I had to learn to walk again. I guess it wasn't the workers who were gaining any functions infact it seemed to compromise some of us, whatever it was that made us so sick. Get yourself a lawyer and prepare to hear them deny, deny, deny... Ok. I hope this post was substantive coming from my lived experiences I just needed to vent out. I miss walking without pain. So yes lets 'clear all the hot air'.
You should go to the hospital and get tests done to see if you could have an adverse reaction to vaccines or other medications.
@@alexanderwhite298 I never had a problem with flu shots all the years before so I didn't expect that to be the cause of an immune disorder I ended up with. When you get sick and do not expect to live you spend time looking into the causes and not being mad about it. I am in the process of meeting new doctors who are willing to run more tests. Over six months waiting to meet different doctors and sometimes that's how it is.
@@alexanderwhite298
Hospitals are in on the grift.
Forbes Breaking News, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
What's truly disgusting is watching democRATS WORKING SO HARD TO PROTECT THOSE WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF NEARLY 250,000 AMERICANS!!!!!
Incorrect. That is a complete lie and you know it. Learn the subject.
Worldwide 7 million dead.
What is inaccurate?@@alexanderwhite298
What a brilliant mind and what a great presentation
He has a combination of brilliant intellect with a bumpkin accent, like the world has never seen. Love this man!
❤We love you Senator Kennedy ..KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN 🇺🇸 PEOPLE!!
You are a Greatest Senator of Louisiana thank you for the awesome and wonderful job ! Senator Kennedy! ❤
Thank you 🫡
Wow such common sense offered and like the weasel she is she accepted the advice with humility but no response that she would act on it.
I am disappointed Kennedy. You needed to hold her feet to the fire and get a commitment.
Learn the subject.
Good to you for your life and your work on our business and it is very important today 😊 Lawrence Curran
You will never remove the tarnish from NIH. There should be NO gain of function research!
Thank you, Senator Kennedy, for supporting Long Covid and MECFS. You officially have my vote!
She jus said "thank you" & did not acknowledge the merits of Senator Kennedy's proposal !
So long as "gain of function" is seen as a potential weapon of war, it will always be kept a secret.
Absolute transparency is required in domains such as this where large-scale loss of life is at stake.
My father dedicated his body to a study at the NIH in 1993 when he found out he had mesothelioma. He was one of 28 people in the country in the study. He wanted to help others. We went to Bethesda, Dad had surgery. They gave him experimental drugs. I was of the mindset that the NIH was a place of hope. Not hope that my Father’s life would be saved but hope that what might be learned through his sacrifice would help others by what the doctors learned. Now, I am appalled at what this great institution has become. It’s such a letdown and disappointment to see what evil does when it penetrates a fine institution which used to be about finding answers to help people. Now it’s just about funding the pockets of the criminals who run it. God help us. 🙏🏼 🇺🇸
Here is what we in the U.S. learned from Wuhan Kung Flue. NEVER AGAIN!
Then support research for vaccines.
Didn't fool me nary a bit.
I would never trust any alphabet jobs ever again.The NIH,CDC,FBI or DOJ
What’s with all these old Italians, Marrazzo, Bertagnolli, Fauci…Medical Mafia
The NIH needs to get expert information from outside their agency
You need to learn the subject, and also Learn what expert means.
I very much respect Senator Kennedy!
The scam continues…
What a statesman Mr. Kennedy is!
Kennedy gently (and respectfully) suggests that the NIH holds a press conference about gain of function and what was learned from the pandemic. Video title: Kennedy DEMANDS!!!!
kennedy is a fine actor, pointing out the obvious as usual. but nothing ever happens to the criminals.
Your agreements are going in the trash
I really like Senator Kennedy, but he is so slow at speaking and getting to the point.
It is an art, making one deeply consider what he says
He's not pretentious. He speaks clearly and gives the listener time to absorb what he's saying. He's always on point. I admire Senator Kennedy greatly.
JK pulls no Punches
As in he never swung once.
@@willernst2721
He swung with such agility & grace that you totally missed it altogether.
@@NickNicometi no, I am just past the point of all the word games being played. Kennedy has pull and can just call all of this exactly what it is if he so chose. Instead he lets her know he can do that while not actually doing it. He was playing a game with her, and since his job is to represent his constituents that means he is playing a game with them as well. Just call gain of function research what it is and stop playing games.
The trust is gone from a lot of people. Damage has been done.
We need more of something in science. Not vaccines but something more powerful.
Common sense.
@@CR-ze5pwno such thing as common sense exists.
Learn how science is done. It's not my job to educate you.
@@alexanderwhite298 You do not know what you are talking about. You know what science needs more than anything else? The truth.
@@CR-ze5pw Science needs more truth.
Why is this senator not a leading candidate for the R nomination?
This has nothing to do with the original Forbes Mag.!!!
Tell them how you won't delete your. E mails and circumvent accountability.
Accountability for what?
CROOKED JOE IS GOTTA GO 💯
Guilty people will NEVER admit to wrong doing. If you don't get a straight answer- that's the answer.
You need evidence to prove guilt, not feelings.
@@alexanderwhite298 I agree. Can they not answer questions? Why delete so many Emails. I heard enough to know something isn't right. Ask NIH about Ivermectin.
@@alexanderwhite298 Leaked DEFUSE proposal is enough evidence for me.
@@denysvlasenko1865 no such thing.
... and nothing will happen. But Kennedy is great as usual!!
I read a quote by Aristotle every morning 🌅
My favorite Senator!
God bless John Kennedy.🙏
He and Ted Cruz, two men that we need more like.
I wish the Louisiana voters lived near me
I do not respect this administration nor NIH. I didn't trust them then and I sure don't trust them now! I Thank God every day that I relied on him and did not get jabbed and will Never get jabbed. God blessed me with a good mind and common sense.
Well common sense doesn't exist, so stating that common sense exists suggests that you in fact do not have a good mind and in doing so makes you seem very ignorant on the subject.
Well sir/madam if you believe your own statement that common sense does not exist, ie.. "good sense and sound judgment in practical matters." then I'm afraid you are the one with issues. I on the other hand do not rely on a political party or any human being to tell me what I should believe or adhere to. I do not follow the norm just because someone tells me I should.
Good luck with that!
...then nothing happened...
Bertagnolli? Marazzo? Fauci? I’m no global languages expert but that’s an unusual number of Italian Americans at the top of one particular field. 🤨
Re name NIS, National Institute of SICKNESS
Tell them how much money they get from pharmaceutical companies. Tell them how much stock any and all members of the NIH have in these drug companies. Tell them why the United States is supporting any research company in ANY foreign country. Tell them what the GAIN is Gain in Function. ( if the Gain is so great, it’s surprising the President doesn’t go on national TV and give the country a big one hr speech, extolling the virtues of GAIN of Function RESEARCH, ). p.s …does the NIH read Aristotle?
John Kennedy for president
Kennedy running cover
Love the sooothest US senator's effort of diplomacy to snooker the criminals into divulging their crafty, devious plot.
Why is fauci not in jail?
Wtfomgnotlol 4:58
They took something GOOD and decent and ruined it.they have lost the public.s trust. if that means anything to these people. any more,
Heard no applause fake title
You didn't stay for the end.
NIH Sorcery
Kennedy should just get to the point instead of stroking their egos in the beginning of his talk
Does he really not know what really happened? Does he not know how the whole “health” mafia has devolved? What it really is?
You have conspiracy theories and superstition, and they are not facts. Learn the subject.
1:53 Oops! This is not a fact! The word starting with "pan" makes the statement false and incorrect because there was no such thing! What happened is not defined or represented by the word used prefixed with the word "the" because what happened is not an example of such an event that the word represents, not only prefixed with the word "a" but insultingly the word "the"
2:06 Yep! At 1:53 John Kennedy's progress of communications has been tarnished by incorrectly identifying the compartmentalized events (notably the 2nd attempt at redefining v word to qualify for emergency use authorization) to be misrepresented with misleading deceptive propagandized wording! Maybe go back and fix the mistake and try again?
2:19 lol I'm not watching anymore of this, lol John Kennedy is building mistakes on top of the first mistake that he introduced, so it's downhill mistake-based theatrical performance wording injections
With respect Mr. Kennedy, it will never happen. They’ll all want to keep their jobs.
Are gov't workers still talking about gov't worker Fauci's Chyna's bio-weapon virus?
It was all done on purpose
I just went to the NIH website and literally everything Kennedy said he wanted done is already easy to find. Right on the NIH website.
How is this getting a standing ovation?! What am I missing? Everything he has said in the last two days is like hearing someone who should be playing bridge someplace.
End career politicians.
Wait and see what happens on the next pandemic. We will not listen to you ever again. I will do what Americans do, what is best for myself and the people i love. But not from this government or you.
Too wordy just let us have an open civil symposium to get to the bottom of this, and we know where it goes. Rock comes from the inside out. This is the forerunner of military.
He’s laying out how millions of people died and your ADD is kicking in.
And while ur at it be honest wih all americans indivially by every gene code. Inflicted and natural..
Tough talk but no action or defunding of any corrupt agency or organization. Many people are starting to wake up to the do nothing elected representatives in Congress. You sir talk great but turn around and vote for the majority of whatever the democrats want.
damn
Kennedy loves to hear himself talk. He thinks the NIH would tell the truth.
Their's Billions to be made developing Bio Weapons that's what Gain of Function research is all about.
Then, everyone clapped.
TRUMP 2024 MAGA FJB
Bunch of boomers who do nothing but talk!
Trump 4 PRESIDENT 💯💯
Senator Kennedy is a master at wasting everyone's time.
Ready.....aim......🔥 justice carried out
THIS KENNEDY IS A HILLBILLY, NOTHING ELSE 😂😂
He's definitely Awesome.
lol you are showing your ignorance. Louisiana is totally flat not a hill to be found. Lots of bayous, that is water level.
@broncobrian2344 what's the landscape got to do with anything? Hahaha
It's a mistake to underestimate JK.
Someone forgot to take their hormone blockers today.
Never gonna happen. And FJB.
Nothing but contempt for rich liberals
Gain of function =bioweapon correct ????
