Profiles in Courage: The COVID Era Whistleblowers
One of the hallmarks of a healthy democracy is its ability to self-correct when confronted with tyranny, corruption, and blatant injustices. An essential component in this process is the whistleblower, heroic individuals driven by a personal and moral obligation—men and women with gonads of steel, willing to step forward, point a finger, and lay their reputation, career, and personal well-being on the line regardless of consequences.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a worldwide “pandemic” attributed to a dubious virus of questionable origins. When the news broke, people busy living their lives were suddenly thrust into panic mode. With little reason to distrust the measured and reassuring voice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), they were unaware that he and many others were part of the development, planning, and execution of the SARS Covid-2 pandemic scam that had been years in the making.
Persuaded by an all-out pre-planned media blitz replete with 24/7 dire news bulletins, guilt shaming, celebrity influencers, and politicians deep in the pockets of big pharma, most people were elated and proud to roll up their sleeves and take the jab. (“Hey, I just got mine. Did you get yours?”) They did so without question or an ounce of consideration given to the ingredients, efficacy and irrevocable damages accompanying unapproved, untested, rush-to-market Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) vaccines.
The subsequent mask mandates, lockdowns, and social distancing conventions gave rise to a tidal wave of medical whistleblowers—highly credentialed and experienced physicians, nurses, virologists, cardiologists, and research professionals that the corporate media rushed to discredit, demonize, and label “anti-vax conspiracy theorists,” a convenient one-stop catchphrase adopted by people who have neither the will, desire, or critical thinking skills to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.
The following is a shortlist of whistleblowers who have stepped up to the plate and made a significant dent in the fraudulent pandemic narrative. Their contributions paved the way for serious and open debate regarding medical autonomy, informed consent, fake science, fraudulent marketing, and the dangers of profit-driven healthcare.
Dr. Michael Yeadon / Former Pfizer VP and Chief Science Officer
Dr. Michael Yeadon is a trained biochemist and pharmacologist who obtained his PhD from the University of Surrey (UK) in 1988. He has over twenty-three years in the pharmaceutical industry and served as former Pfizer vice president and chief scientist worldwide for respiratory pharmacology and toxicology. After parting ways with Pfizer in 2011, Dr. Yeadon continued his research and became a resolute critic of global elites, big pharma, and the efficacy of vaccines. In an interview with Children’s Health Defense he discussed the COVID deception, the economic agenda behind the staged pandemic, and the truth about surveillance, reproductive health, and toxicology.
It is my view that the entire global pandemic is a fraud that was planned for with great deliberation by a group of people ultimately representing what we call global capital. So, the whole thing has been manufactured using unreliable PCR testing and lies about the concept of asymptomatic transmission—the idea that people that are not ill have symptoms that can affect others.
In December 2024, Dr. Yeadon gave a sobering, twenty-two-minute fact-based presentation detailing the real diabolical intention behind the manufactured “pandemic.”
“. . . the materials masquerading as vaccines were designed intentionally to harm the people who received them.”
Dr. Kary Mullis / Inventor of PCR Technology and Nobel Prize Recipient
Dr. Kary Mullis was an American biochemist. In recognition of his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, Dr. Mullis was a recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and was awarded the Japan Prize in the same year. His invention became a central technique in biochemistry and molecular biology, described by the New York Times as "highly original and significant, virtually dividing biology into the two epochs of before PCR and after PCR."
Dr. Mullis was adamant about the use and misinterpretation of the PCR test as a tool for detecting viruses and uses other than its intended purpose of amplifying small segments of DNA to make them easier to analyze. Unsurprisingly, Dr. Mullis was a staunch critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci. In a 1996 interview, Dr. Mullis said the following:
. . . guys like Fauci get up there and start talking … he doesn’t know anything, really, about anything. And I’ll say that to his face; nothing. The man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if it’s got a virus in there, you’ll know it. Those guys have an agenda, which is not what we would like them to have, being that we pay for them to take care of our health in some way.
Dr. Kary Mullis died at home from heart and respiratory failure in August 2019.
His passing was just weeks before Event 201, the tabletop pandemic simulation exercise hosted by the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and a few months before the real-time March 2020 announcement of the Covid-19 “pandemic” and the subsequent introduction of the PCR test as the diagnostic gold standard for detecting what we are told is a life-threatening COVID-19 virus.
Dr. Mullis was 74. If he were alive today, one can only imagine what his response would be to the COVID narrative and the tens of thousands of PCR tests being administered daily to detect the presence of a virus.
Dr. Scott Jensen / Family Doctor and Former MN State Senator
A family physician for over forty years, Dr. Scott Jenson also served as a member of the Minnesota Senate from 2017 to 2021. In an April 2020 local television interview that gained national attention, Dr. Jenson revealed that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) had inexplicably changed its policy on completing death certificates and that a new nationwide guidance had been issued requiring doctors to attribute patient deaths to COVID-19 regardless of their actual cause of death. Dr. Jenson further disclosed that medical institutions were provided monetary incentives to “game” and “massage” data. In 2020, Medicare was giving hospitals $13,000 for each patient diagnosed with COVID-19 and a whopping $39,000 for each patient placed on a ventilator.
As a result of his public comments, Dr. Jenson was ostracized by a number of his colleagues and notified by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice that he was under investigation for “spreading misinformation and providing reckless advice.” He has since filed a lawsuit against the board and those who have unjustly tarnished his reputation.
Dr. Larry Palevsky / Practicing NYS Licensed Pediatrician
A brilliant and well-respected NYS licensed pediatrician with over thirty years’ experience in pediatric healthcare, Dr. Palevsky utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. One of the early pediatricians to sound the alarm on vaccination schedules for children, Dr. Palevsky gave a powerful and fact-filled testimony before the Connecticut Public Health Committee on proposed immunization legislation.
Unfortunately, his testimony and warning about the damaging effects of aluminum nanoparticles in vaccines were disregarded and promptly filed away in the Public Health Committee’s Thank you, but no thank you waste receptacle. Calls for the revocation of Dr. Palevsky’s license soon followed.
Note: If you are pregnant, have a child, or are considering having children, see attorney Arron Siri’s amazing Substack post: Injecting Babies: 1986 v Today.
In his testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee, in the hearing titled, “Follow the Science? Oversight of the Biden Covid-19 Administrative State Response,” Arron Siri said the following:
Vaccines are the only consumer product where the government defends industry against consumers, instead of vice versa. The same is true for COVID-19 vaccines—the injured are limited to request benefits from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell / Critical Care Specialist
A licensed physician trained in emergency medicine and critical care, Dr. Kyle-Sidell was a crucial whistleblower regarding respiratory ventilators. In April 2020, he was part of the Emergency Care Unit at Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn, New York where he witnessed his patients suffer and die as a result of the medical establishment's ventilator protocols for treating patients testing positive for COVID. Distraught by the disastrous outcomes, Dr. Kyle-Sidell went public and openly questioned the hospital’s unwarranted use of ventilators for patients in need of oxygen (oxygen failure) as opposed to their intended use for patients suffering from a collapsed lung(s) (respiratory failure). This was at a time when Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor and bureaucrat supreme, was vehemently calling for the purchase of 30,000 ventilators ostensibly for the survival of COVID patients.
The dire warnings asserted by Dr. Kyle-Sidell and doctors experiencing similar challenges were dismissed. Shortly after he left Maimonides, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)revealed that, in New York's largest health system, nearly 25 percent of coronavirus patients died from the misuse of ventilators.
Erin Marie Olszewsk / Registered Nurse
During the height of the “pandemic,” New York City was said to be ground zero for COVID-19, and Elmhurst Hospital in Queens was identified as the COVID “epicenter.” Erin Marie Olszewsk, an Iraqi war veteran, traveled to NYC from Tampa, Florida to volunteer her services. Within her first week at Elmhurst, she discovered something horrific and antithetical to everything she had learned in her training and years of experience: patients not testing positive for COVID were being listed as positive and placed on a ventilator, a sure pathway to their demise. Armed with a strong sense of ethics and a hidden body-worn camera, Nurse Erin risked life, limb, and career to film hospital proceedings and then posted her video from her hotel room in midtown Manhattan. Critics were quick to throw Erin under the bus, but her jaw-dropping film footage exposed the lies being spoon-fed to America and the world.
Karen Kingston / Biotech Analyst Med-Legal Expert
Karen Kingston has worked as a strategic consultant for the medical and pharmaceutical device industry. Some of Ms. Kingston’s clients have included Pfizer, Medtronic, Allergan, Johnson & Johnson, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and a number of smaller companies.
Motivated by strong ethical values and deep religious beliefs, Ms. Kingston broke from corporate ranks when she realized that the major pharmaceutical companies were ramping up production of a toxic, gene-altering vaccine prior to the announcement of the “pandemic” and were planning to include children—the least vulnerable population with the most pristine immune system—in their COVID mass vaccination rollout. After her warnings were unheeded by company officials, she sounded the alarm and contacted thirty-plus media outlets and provided them with crucial information about toxic vaccine ingredients along with inside information related to fabricated clinical trials and the FDA’s complicity in the obfuscation of outcome data. Since then, Ms. Kingston has been physically assaulted, deplatformed, and defamed.
Tammy Clark and Kristen Meghan / Former OSHA PPE Experts
With a combined forty-plus years of experience, government-trained Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) personal protective equipment (PPE) experts Tammy Clark and Kristen Megan were alarmed by the CDC’s mask recommendations and OSHA’s glaring reversal of policies regarding the use and potential hazards of face masks. When they confronted and registered complaints with OSHA officials, they were stonewalled and placed under investigation.
In late 2020, Tammy and Kristen ripped the sheets off of the mask-wearing narrative. These courageous women went viral (no pun intended) with a riveting video warning the public about the ineffectiveness and dangers of wearing a mask as a means of protection against what we were told was a deadly airborne virus. Paradoxically, their informed declarations supported Dr. Fauci’s initial no-mask guidance BEFORE he got the proverbial memo, and ran counter to his nonsensical and hypocritical thumbs-up for double-masking AFTER he received the proverbial memo.
Dr. Theresa Long MD / Army Medical Aviation Specialist
A board-certified U.S. Army aerospace medicine specialist with a master's in public health, Dr. Long served in the military for over thirty years. Remarkably brave and honest, Dr. Long stated the following in her astounding testimony before an expert panel on federal vaccine mandates:
I believe the COVID vaccine is a greater threat to soldier s’ health and military readiness than the virus itself.
She then went on to say the following:
Over 200,000 service members have rejected the vaccine, yet the military is pressing forward without regard to the damage to the morale and readiness to process these soldiers out. We have never lost 200,000 soldiers on the battlefield in a few months. Taking soldiers out of uniform has the same impact on readiness as losing them on the battlefield.
Dr. Long’s trepidations were not well-received by Army higher-ups. To her astonishment, her fears were ignored and met with arrogance coupled with vindictiveness and award-winning stupidity.
This is how she described her experience:
. . . I reported to my command my concerns that in one morning I had to ground three out of three pilots due to vaccine injuries. The next day my patients were canceled, my charts were pulled for review, and I was told I would not be seeing acute patients anymore, just healthy pilots there for their flight physical.
Dr. Denis Rancourt / Interdisciplinary Scientist and Physicist
Renowned in scientific communities the world over for his fact-based statistical research and analysis debunking the pandemic narrative, Dr. Rancourt is a co-founding director of Correlation, a Canada-based not-for-profit organization conducting independent scientific research on topics of public interest.
In a recent video presentation to the expert scientists at Doctors for COVID Ethics, Dr. Rancourt spoke about his most recent and compelling work, a comprehensive, detailed, and richly illustrated study based on data extrapolated from 125 different countries. The study covers the entire COVID period, before and after the vaccine rollout, and discusses the possible leading causes of excess mortality in different phases. His conclusions are summarized as follows:
If there had been no pandemic propaganda or coercion, and governments and the medical establishment had simply gone on with business as usual, then there would not have been any excess mortality.
There was no pandemic causing excess mortality.
Measures caused excess mortality. Pandemic interventions led to approximately 30.9 million deaths globally and vaccines didn’t prevent any deaths. This total is significantly higher than the seven million total number of COVID-19 deaths reported by the WHO through February 11, 2024.
COVID-19 vaccinations caused excess mortality. Seventeen million deaths and vaccine toxicity increased with age and number of doses.
Vaccine Safety from the Horse’s Mouth
After decades of aggressively promoting vaccines of all kinds, Dr. Stanley Plotkin, the world's leading vaccinologist, has finally admitted the fact that vaccine safety has never been robustly studied as he has long claimed.
A paper that Dr. Plotkin co-authored was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on July 6, 2024. It reveals that no vaccine has ever been properly studied either before or after its release.
This is tantamount to learning that the Ford Motor Company knowingly developed and sold tens of thousands of SUVs to the public, and then later admitting that the vehicle’s brakes were never adequately tested—a blatant policy failure resulting in thousands of collisions and deaths.
Lessons Not Learned
Presented with mountains of well-documented peer-reviewed studies and testimonies by leading experts, one would think that the WHO, the CDC, the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and government regulators would put an immediate end to COVID and other toxic, gene-altering vaccines. Not only are they not ending, they are moving forward full speed ahead.
On August 6, 2024, the WHO’s Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove told journalists in Geneva, “COVID-19 is still very much with us,” and “the virus is circulating in all countries.”
She also stressed the need for annual vaccine dosage:
As individuals it is important to take measures to reduce risk of infection and severe disease, including ensuring that you have had a COVID-19 vaccination dose in the last twelve months, especially, if you are in an at-risk group.
By sheer coincidence, Dr. Van Kerkhove’s announcement came just two weeks before the FDA announced the approval and authorization of updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to “better protect against currently circulating variants.” In the interest of full discloser, the FDA’s statement also included a precautionary heads-up for people who either experienced or missed out on the adverse reactions that accompanied previously approved EUA vaccines:
Individuals who receive an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may experience similar side effects as those reported by individuals who previously received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and as described in the respective prescribing information or fact sheets. The updated vaccines are expected to provide protection against COVID-19 caused by the currently circulating variants. Barring the emergence of a markedly more infectious variant of SARS-CoV-2, the FDA anticipates that the composition of COVID-19 vaccines will need to be assessed annually, as occurs for seasonal influenza vaccines.
Given the overwhelming number of deaths and adverse reactions attributed to the untested and unsafe vaccines, one might scratch their head and easily question which “at-risk group” Dr. Van Kerkhove might have been referring to—people at risk of contracting COVID-19 or people at risk of living a normal healthy life, free of debilitating vaccines.
Calls for Lethal Force
Back at home, calls for increased vaccinations have taken on a new and more terrifying dimension. In a recently surfaced interview, Dr. Peter Hotez, director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, called for the United Nations and NATO to deploy security forces against “anti-vaxxers” in the United States.
What I’ve said to the Biden administration is, the health sector can’t solve this on its own. We’re going to have to bring in Homeland Security, the Commerce Department, Justice Department to help us understand how to do this.
I’ve said the same with… I met with [WHO general director] Dr. Tedros last month … to say, I don’t know that the World Health Organization can solve this on our own. We need the other United Nations agencies—NATO. This is a security problem because it’s no longer a “construct” or some arcane academic exercise. Two-hundred-thousand Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression, anti-science aggression.
Dr. Hotez’s controversial views have not gone unrewarded by the generous global elites doling out the cookies. Among his list of numerous accolades, Dr. Hotez, along with his colleague Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022 for developing Corbevax, an open-patent COVID-19 vaccine that was administered to more than seventy-million children in India as of 2023. Before announcing Hotez’s nomination, I wonder if the Nobel committee was aware of the tens of thousands of injuries and related deaths caused by Corbevax and other vaccines foisted (without consent) on the unsuspecting poorer populations of India and Africa causing a combined 450,000 injuries and deaths. Fortunately for Dr. Hotez, all is not lost. Scientists worthy of a Nobel nomination rarely go away empty-handed. Earlier this year, Time Magazine named Hotez a “Science Warrior” and one of the one hundred most influential people in global health.
Future Prospects
I’ve long been considered an optimist. But given our present track record as a species, I fear that our future political, economic, and social prospects are dismal to say the least.
Collectively, we are stuck in a self-indulgent, narcissistic trance blinded by smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence—a soulless innovation that offers biased results at lightning-speeds, supplanting genuine imagination, creativity, and originality, along with the very real and ominous potential to supersede objective reality for current and future generations.
We have morphed into a compliant army of substance-addicted walking barcodes devoid of humanity, content to be heads-down participants in a technocratic totalitarian state on a collision course destined for never-ending wars and self-destruction.
I truly wish I had an answer, but at present my empty pockets are turned inside out. When I rack my brain for a morsel of hope and encouragement, only one word comes to mind.
