Covid Collateral (2024)

-The human tragedies caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic will be counted for decades. Now, important questions are being asked about how much damage was caused by the public health measures implemented to suppress the virus, especially lockdowns. 'Covid Collateral' is an investigative documentary which reveals that the severe lockdowns imposed by western governments were not driven by scientific consensus or accurate data. Instead, important scientific debate which would have served the public good, was shut down. How was the powerful medical establishment, big tech and the government involved in the suppression of prominent scientists who were critical of lockdowns? How did an unquestioning mainstream media support the government narrative? The film begins when COVID met politics, as soon as the virus surfaced in Wuhan, China in late 2019. The Communist Party of China censored news about its spread and covered up evidence of its transmission. Dr. Anthony Fauci led a staunch campaign rejecting the "escaped from a lab in China" theory, publicly demonizing scientists/doctors who suspected the lab leak theory to be true. Now, through the Washington 2023-2004 hearings of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, this lab leak "conspiracy theory" has proven to be very credible. What happens when science is censored in a free society?
