So, having recently recovered from a bout of the winter flu bug going around (and a pos. covid test to boot), my employer decided 14 days later that it was required that they report it to the county (its a small college and the county set up some nonsensical reporting portal to “stop the spread” and “keep schools safe.”) So, I got an email from our “safety officer” demanding that I give a whole bunch of personal information (including the number of people in my residence) so that they can dutifully report to the county. Since I chair the research ethics board at the university I reported back that my rights are still to be respected and protected by university policy and my right to privacy first and foremost among them. So, no I would not be providing my employer information that they did not have a right to know without first knowing why they needed it and second deciding freely to give it or not once I was informed of the data collection purpose. The “safety officer” backed down (no doubt after the University President realized that they were well over their skis on this one and did not want me to threaten to shut down the whole covid data collection effort pending IRB review — we have this power in the policy, though it would be unlikely that the full committee would vote in favor of the action (covidians all). Still, it seems that my letter gave them pause.
And so it will go, I and others (buying into the “herd immunity” nonsense that viewed a respiratory coronavirus as something akin to measles) expected covid to burn out a year ago. Well, now that we know these viruses are excellent at eluding immune systems, we must accept that it will swim among humans for years to come, causing mild illness each and every season. So long as the testing regime remains, “covid” will always be with us. And so, we must act to defend basic human rights and the Western liberal system of governance or we are lost. I am optimistic that people are waking up to this reality (I certainly have) and there are a lot of interests, wealthy, productive interests like small to medium sized businesses that cannot operate with “safety officers” deputized by the county on their backs. Political change is coming, and the “progressive, liberal” fascists will be run out on rails over the course of the next 5-10 years.
100%. The propaganda machines have shifted to panic over testing, now, and the thing is, it is the testing that can seem "not so bad" (to some) compared to the jab, and thus an easier foot-in-the-door for social credit system implementation. REFUSE to test.
True, it's worse for government agencies than universities, which are more vulnerable to legal action when researchers cause harm to their research subjects. One bad case of research misconduct costs the university millions in legal costs and severely damages their reputation (check out the mess UCLA medical researchers have been in for years). Unis are highly motivated to avoid this as a result and so take the IRB seriously, as a bulwark against legal action if nothing else. While the government health agencies are now totally unhinged, the body count is rising and the scandals are brewing, particularly with regard to harms to children. These scandals WILL come and the politicos will be desperate to throw anyone and everyone under the bus to save their political bacon. I expect this will happen soon as the injection programs have failed so spectacularly that public disgust is going to destroy the democrats this year, and then the national press will follow.
Well, there is the case of the handsy gynecologist, but perhaps that's too salacious for the sensitive internet sleuth. See if you can dig up something on the case of the missing body parts (a bit older and less salacious I will admit) But then again, maybe I am making it all up. This is the internet after all.

You could have prevented that entire ordeal by not getting tested..we need to stop getting tested!
YES. That is the key to all this. Stop testing!!!!

No, is a very powerful word. Let us hope that its power does not take 5-10 years.

What mess ar UCLA medical misconduct? I missed this and not finding it?

goodness! There's a lot there.!
