The Covid pandemic introduced many new terms and concepts into everyday conversation, but one fundamental question remained obscured: who was in charge of the response? This piece explores how the military played a significant role in the U. S. Covid response, often usurping civilian government functions.
1. Emergence of New Terms: In 2020, phrases like “social distancing” and “PCR tests” gained notoriety. Amid this confusion, debates emerged regarding authority figures, particularly Dr. Anthony Fauci, while the true guiding forces remained unclear.
2. Military Influence: The response to Covid was largely a military operation. Various military and government bodies, including the National Security Council and Department of Homeland Security, mobilized resources and enforced lockdowns. The influence of the military was prominent, with contingency plans focusing on commands rather than public health oversight.
3. CIA Involvement: In early 2025, it was revealed that a CIA informant had been embedded at the Wuhan Institute of Virology before the outbreak. Actions taken by Fauci, including supposed secret meetings aimed at influencing the investigation into the virus’s origins, indicated a blending of public health efforts with intelligence activities.
4. Bioweapons and Accountability: Following previous bioweapon concerns post-9/11, there arose a connection between health policy and military biosecurity agendas. Even after the Anthrax attacks, U. S. responses leaned toward expanding bioweapons capabilities instead of reforming existing protocols.
5. Financial Manipulation: As early as February 2020, top lawmakers used privileged information to sell off stocks before the economic fallout of the pandemic, indicating a troubling intersection of politics, profits, and public health.
6. Military Overreach: Preliminary military responses, including preparations for potential martial law, occurred prior to any official public health framework. The military was positioned to control the Covid narrative and interventions, marginalizing typical health organizations like the Department of Health and Human Services.
7. Information Censorship: Agencies within the military and intelligence sectors engaged in actions to suppress dissent and censor information about the virus’s origins, including financial incentives to discourage inquiry into the lab leak theory.
8. Public Health Administration Changes: The military effectively replaced traditional health institutions as leaders in the pandemic response, making decisions that led to significant civil liberties violations while concealing their increased control from the general public.
9. Impact on Governance: This military approach to the pandemic marked the largest mobilization of governmental resources in history, resulting in the effective dismantling of civilian governance in favor of authoritarian-style oversight.
The U. S. response to Covid illustrates a significant and often secretive military takeover of public health protocols. The involvement of various military and intelligence agencies significantly shaped the direction and management of the response while sidelining traditional public health frameworks and undermining democratic processes. In hindsight, it is evident that a coordinated military operation was at play during a time of crisis.
