I'll admit — it surprised me. Six year old wounds that I thought had healed were opened up again unexpectedly. In case you missed it, this week Dr. Anthony Fauci sat in a Senate chamber and, for more than a hundred times when asked questions concerning COVID, refused to answer.
He invoked the Fifth Amendment - - - the constitutional right of a man who fears that his own words might be used to convict him. That is his legal right, for sure. But there is a difference between what a man is legally permitted to do and what the moment reveals. And what this moment revealed is a man who, for years, told the nation to trust him without question - - - only now he's sitting before the people's representatives and declining to say a single word in his own defense.
Praise God for small mercies. His silence itself is an answer.
What we were actually asked to fear
The great sickness of the COVID years was not a virus. It was fear. Manufactured, amplified, and administered like a drug - - - fear that overrode conscience, fear that overrode family, fear that overrode the plain reading of Scripture about how God made these bodies and what they are capable of.
We were taught to be afraid of each other. To see a neighbor as a biohazard. To watch a loved one die through a phone screen from a hospital parking lot because the doors were shut. To choose between a shot in the arm and a paycheck on the table. Children grew up behind masks, paused their whole lives, turning to absolute isolation - - - and we are only now beginning to count what that cost them.
And anyone - - - anyone - - - who stood up in the middle of that storm and said "wait, something here doesn't add up" was branded. Dangerous. Selfish. A conspiracy theorist. Tin-foil hat wearer! Shamed in the public square by people who were absolutely certain, right up unto the point where they weren't.
Our questions were not crazy
Here is what the same institutions that shamed those people have now quietly admitted.
In the summer of 2025, the FDA required Pfizer and Moderna to expand the warning labels on their mRNA vaccines - - - specifically about myocarditis and pericarditis, inflammation of the heart, with the risk running highest in teenage boys and young men. What made this so noteworthy is the fact that this is the government's own regulatory body putting the warning in writing, on the label, in black and white.
It's beyond obvious now that people were injured. Some seriously. And the only reason it was admitted was because the evidence became too strong. We should still be concerned about the stuff they're not willing to admit - - - and probably never will. Who else is an unexpected death waiting to happen? An experienced vaccine injury that changes their whole life? I digress because I want to focus on something just as important. What happened to the ordinary Americans who asked, early and honestly, "are we sure this is safe for my healthy 16-year-old son? Or my elderly 75 year old mother?" - - - These were the ones who were called a danger to society for asking! - - - While we were being publicly humiliated by the powers that be along with that so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel (don't get me started on that shameless hack), it turned out we were asking a question the FDA itself would eventually answer with a label change. No apologies provided, nor do we expect to ever receive them.
Look, I am not a doctor, and I am not going to stand here and tell you I can calculate the full toll of carnage this man-made virus and its poisonous 'cure' brought upon the human race. Nobody can, yet. But I can tell you this: a society that punishes the question and the questioner is a society that has already decided it would rather be comforted than hear the truth. And that is a spiritual condition much more than it is a medical one.
If I could be blunt, a society with that mantra — "Comfort over Truth" — is a society ripe for the arrival of a world leader who will comfort the masses just before he slaughters them.
Yes, I'm talking about the antichrist as mentioned throughout the scripture and explicitly 'unveiled' in the Book of Revelation.
I must confess, I'm angry
The first question I ask now that we know what we know about Fauci - - - why is this man still walking free?
How can one so obviously responsible for so many deaths still go on evening walks with his wife?
One reason is because of the gaslighting that took place during those 2+ years of "stopping the curve." Day in and day out, we were relentlessly barraged by the media, the complicit entertainment industry, and any other persuasive voice that could be bribed. We were constantly told that all these gut-feelings we were having about something being 'off' were just the coping mechanisms for our unfounded fears. Also, lest we forget, there are still millions of Americans who are drinking the kool-aid and supporting Fauci as if he's yet still some benevolent hero.
For this they are willingly ignorant of:
(1) It was Fauci's own research that was focused on gain of function - that is, working on viruses that only occur in the animal kingdom and manipulating them until they cross over into the human domain.
(2) It was Fauci's lies that yanked hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin (both extremely safe drugs, used for years, even resulting in a nobel prize for their efficacy) out of the hands of those whose lives they could have saved and pushed them into the "absolutely can't use" category! - - - This was accomplished so that those in the know could get emergency authorization to make their millions in profits from the creation and distribution of the vaccine.
(3) It was Fauci's lies that pushed the narrative that masks would work even when doctors who otherwise supported him openly admitted that they did absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of COVID when worn.
(4) It was Fauci's lies that started pushing yet another drug Remdesivir (likely for profit's sake) that was such an inefficient treatment that internally, doctors and nurses began calling it "Run-Death-Is-Near."
There were many more lies, and much more carnage caused by each and every one of them, but time will not allow me to dig into all that today.
What to do with this anger?
So what do we do with the anger? It's real, it's raw, and it's building up yet again.
How am I supposed to stay unbothered when I read about that pardon - - - signed by Biden on his way out the door, before Fauci was ever charged with anything, before a single count was filed - - - I understand exactly why people are furious. You do not hand a man armor before the battle unless you already know the arrows are coming. Or more poignantly — you do not pardon a man whom you believe is innocent.
But here is where I have to preach to myself as much as to you. There are two pictures of Christ I keep returning to. One is the Lord who looked down from the cross at the men who put Him there and said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." The other is the Lord who walked into the temple, saw what they had done to His Father's house, and flipped the tables over.
Both of those were love. Anger at those who lie in wait to harm the innocent — that is love with a spine. And grace toward those who were simply afraid — that is love with open arms.
To Fauci, the man who ran the machine - - - I am not your judge, and I am glad I am not, because I am angry enough to be an awful one. To the millions who are only now waking up, who believed what they were told and now feel foolish for it - - - hear me clearly: There is no "I told you so" here.
There is a chair with your name on it. You have always had a place here. Welcome.
The one court with no back door
The pardon Fauci carried into that senate chamber was official and powerful. It was signed, (supposedly) by a President's hand. It was sealed. And it may very well keep him out of an earthly jailhouse for the remainder of his days.
But there is a courtroom being prepared where no pardon was arranged in advance. No lawyer will remove the questioner. No Fifth Amendment will cover the silence.
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God" (Revelation 20:12).
Small and great. No matter how much fame, power, and cover the culprits of COVID may have had down here - - - they will one day stand before holy God, before the Judge of the world. On that day, pardons won't matter, and the One who keeps perfect records will announce the sentence without partiality: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" (Matthew 25:41)
Vengeance is His
With that being said, I will now do the hardest thing a man with a legitimate grievance but lacking the power to do anything about it can do. I will let the vengeance be my Lord's - - - because He has claimed it, and because He is the only one who can carry it without becoming corrupted by it.
Until then, we're just gonna keep fighting the good fight. We'll keep telling the truth when the truth is unpopular. We'll keep asking the tough questions - - - even when they seem much so obvious to us before we even ask. And… (important): We'll keep the doors open. There are still people coming to the light and finding their way home. For them, we will continue to be a caring and honest place to land.
Could a COVID-like event and the worldwide gaslighting that accompanied it ever happen again? Yes, it could. Especially when those who were wickedly at the helm of it are walking free even still today. Their lack of accountability emboldens the next wave of mischief to move in with impunity.
But here's the one thing I know, and we would all do well to remember: Though the judgment of the wicked may not be executed speedily, it is absolutely executed at the right time.
"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." (Ecclesiastes 8:11)
