the hospitalization data is not just a number but an enormous stress on the system. it is a stwres on the system, john, especially since they are having staff shortages because so many hospital personnel, doctors and nurses and others are out because they are sick with omicron. so in this senate hearing we re hearing the senators grilling about why are we still having test problems this far not pandemic? what s with all the confusion from the cdc about isolation? doctors fauci and walensky defending their choices and defending what the government did with the isolation guidance and also with the openings of school, but let s take a look at these hospitalizations that have now hit a record number. now i want to give an important piece of context here. many of the people in hospital with covid, they just happened to have code of. they are there because they have had a heart attack or need cancer surgery or for whatever reap. they are not sick enough with
trace? trace: a lot of concern that little has changed. thanks, benjamin. let s bring in mike gallagher from wisconsin. he sits on the armed services committee and calling to investigate doctors fauci and collins in an effort to sweep this under the rug. you hear benjamin s report there. there s concern that very little is being done. come on, the more we dig into this, the more we find that opposing voices were shut down. it is dangerous and it s still happening. it s looking more and more like a massive cover-up. precisely the opposite of what true scientific inquiry is supposed to be about. those scientists that we trusted with immense power to guide us during this pandemic appear to have lied to us. we now know thanks to bret baier s reporting, a lot of people like josh rogan, at the beginning scientists e-mailed dr. fauci flagging concerns with
the viruses genomes saying it wasn t natural. days later they changed their tune. so what happened? why the effort in various journals to label anyone who was demanning and investigation of the lab leak as a conspiracy theorist. why did our own u.s. intelligence community cooperate with it. there was no scientific consensus around the natural theory. instead, a narrative by dr. fauci to silence us. that s not acceptable. trace: not even the president was privy to this. this is mick mulvaney, the former chief of staff under president trump. the president should have known about these other opinions. he should have known about the possible financial connection between taxpayer dollars and the research that was being done. should have known about the connection with dr. fauci and
mr. collins about what was happening. none of that was disclosed to the president of the united states and that is unconscionable. trace: swept aside as misinformation like the hunter biden laptop. if you say anything about it, you re a denies. it s gone to different levels. it s stunning. the fact that scientists like fauci remember, in 2020, fauci was saying the chinese communist party was cooperative and transparent. the fact that they were buying what was coming out of beijing makes it more stunning where there was a massive cover up understood way. trace, we have to get to the bottom of this. trace: but how? that is my question? how do you get to the bottom when china won t cooperate? you want to get to the bottom of it. you have resistance in this country and china won t cooperate. what is the remedy for this? the biden administration did this 90-day intel review, which
