If I told you a government agency said that it could not publish the information because there is too much misinformation out there, what would you think?
As the original source, it would only stand to reason that they could clear this entire mess up, right?
So, why did the NIH hand over papers that had more black lines than white space during a recent FOIA request?
Redact It All
Empower Oversight has been employing all legal means to get COVID origination documentation released by the NIH, including Freedom of Information Act requests.
The documents handed over were a complete joke, with more redactions than actual information.
NIH FOIA officer Gorka Garcia-Malene tried to justify this, stating, “Exemption 6 mandates the withholding of information that if disclosed ‘would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.’ 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6). Exemption 6 was applied here due to the heightened public scrutiny with anything remotely related to COVID-19.”
He further stated that the redactions were needed “because of the amount of misinformation surrounding the pandemic and its origins.”
Huh? But wouldn’t this information clear all that up?
An independent journalist asked the same question…
Seriously, NIH is arguing in court that because there is so much misinformation about how the pandemic began, they can’t release facts that might clear up misinformation about how the pandemic began https://t.co/Nfk6bEedLA /6

The only way to possibly describe this is as a coverup.
We really have to start asking what they are hiding.
