The House COVID Committee has released its final report, concluding a two-year investigation into the pandemic’s origins and response. The report suggests that COVID-19 likely originated from a lab accident in Wuhan, with EcoHealth Alliance implicated in gain-of-function research. It criticizes the NIH for oversight failures and highlights significant waste and fraud in COVID-19 relief funding. The report also questions the effectiveness of social distancing and mask mandates, citing a loss of public trust. It accuses public health officials of spreading misinformation and criticizes the Biden Administration for pressuring social media to censor content. The report underscores the pandemic’s severe impact on businesses, education, and mental health, particularly among children.
Geopolitics
In a session at the European Parliament, a Polish MEP delivered a critique of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, focusing on her leadership and the EU Green Deal. The MEP accused von der Leyen of negatively impacting Europe’s economy and agriculture, suggesting that her policies have turned Europe into an economic backwater. The criticism also extended to the EU’s migration pact, which the MEP claimed has compromised safety across European cities. This reflects broader discontent with the EU’s climate and migration strategies, highlighting tensions within the bloc.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Hamas regarding Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Trump has threatened consequences if the hostages are not released by January 20, 2025. Despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Trump remains firm about further action, with Israeli intelligence reporting that 63 hostages are still alive. This situation underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region.
In another development, Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on BRICS nations if they support a new currency to rival the US dollar. This threat stems from misconceptions about BRICS’ intentions, as no new currency is poised to replace the dollar. Russian President Vladimir Putin has clarified that Russia’s move away from the dollar was a response to US sanctions, not a voluntary choice. While de-dollarization trends have accelerated, they do not yet pose a significant challenge to the dollar’s dominance.
