A public health official at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was caught on hidden camera admitting that the COVID shots are not terribly effective and not worth the risk of heart damage in people under 30.
None of the assertions made by Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, would come as a surprise to Americans who distrusted the legacy media narratives during the COVID pandemic and turned to to alternative sources of news such as The Defender, Epoch Times, Alex Berenson’s Unreported News, Steve Kirsch’s Newsletter, Open VAERS, Vigilant News, and American Greatness, among many others. Still, it is striking to see a current NIH official corroborating our reporting on the faulty products even as the Biden regime continues to push them.
“I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to, Raja told an undercover journalist from O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) during an apparent dinner date before the 2024 election. “There’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything,” he added.
“For people that are 30 or under, it really increases your risk for heart conditions, he continued, corroborating a Dec. 2021 report that got American Greatness deplatformed from Facebook for months. “The data does show that, I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.”
“I’m close enough to 30 to where I don’t want to have a heart attack,” Cholan told his dinner date, adding “I probably shouldn’t be saying this out loud.”
Despite the products’ lack of efficacy and serious safety risks, Pfizer and Moderna made “a bunch of money,” because of the vaccine mandates, Cholan acknowledged.
Cholan pointed out that other vaccines had to go through a rigorous approval process, but the COVID shots were “accelerated through.” He predicted that “we’re all going to learn [about the harms] when it’s too late.”
When asked what he meant by “too late,” he replied, “it will already have been ten years down the road and then a bunch of people will have gotten like all ten boosters.”
Cholan explained his reason for not wanting to get any more boosters.
“If I’m going to get COVID anyway and I’m going to be all right, why increase my risk for the known myocarditis?” he said.
Independent journalist Alex Berenson was permanently suspended from Twitter in June 2021 for accurately tweeting that the COVID jabs didn’t prevent infection or transmission, and had a “terrible side effect profile.”
Cholan also referenced reports that showed the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under former Director Anthony Fauci “might have” funded the research at the Wuhan Lab in China to create COVID, as reported by American Greatness in March, 2021.
“Like they might have funded some labs to do some like, um, vaccine studies … to prepare for an outbreak. They might have funded Wuhan Lab in Wuhan, China, to like, make COVID,” Cholan said breezily, adding that he “believes in the science,” and the reports just seem like “too much of a big conspiracy.”
Cholan went on to insist that people in the government really do want to try to do the right thing.
“Maybe more so at NIH or Health and Human Services, people just want to help people,” he said.
Cholan said he didn’t believe in the conspiracy theory that health officials purposefully created a virus to spread around the world, but if they did, “they should go to jail.”
“If NIAID and Fauci were actually doing this, if the proof comes out that they were funding it … maybe they were just funding it just like to be prepared and shit went wrong,” he offered. “They were trying to study a virus so if and when it did break, we would be prepared for the response to it, but instead, they actually funded the thing that like caused it.”
Cholan seemed to want to give Fauci the benefit of doubt.
“I don’t know. But hopefully the intentions were good upfront,” he said.
Cholan cited the “six foot rule” as another example of a good intention during COVID that was not based on science.
“Again, they were just trying to do the right thing, but it was completely made up,” he asserted.
Cholan also referenced an NIH conspiracy, as reported by American Greatness last May, to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding COVID’s origins by purposefully misspelling words in emails.
“This article claims that they were like misspelling words on purpose so then if there was a FOIA request for whatever—coronavirus—they were instructed to misspell it on purpose so it wouldn’t return on the servers,” he said.
When asked what he thought would happen if Donald Trump was reelected, Cholan asserted that it would be worse for the NIH.
“I think it would be better for a Democrat to be in office, he said, explaining that Trump was more likely to make budget cuts.
“I think where I work at the NLM Library—we sometimes fly under the radar of the really scrutinized,” Cholan said. “I don’t think I have too much to worry about.”
When asked about the possibility of Trump bringing in an “anti-vaxxer” like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to implement reforms, Cholan appeared unconcerned.
Kennedy has vowed to end the corrupt relationships between the public health agencies and pharmaceutical companies.
“A lot of people might get fired, or they would retire,” leaving much of the agency understaffed, Cholan explained.
“And so anything that RFK would want to do probably would just, like, wouldn’t happen,” he said.
