Dr. Scott Gottlieb was appointed FDA commissioner by President Trump at age 44, and served in that role from 2017 to 2019, after which he resigned to spend more time with his family. He is a contributor to the cable financial news network CNBC and a frequent guest on the CBS News program Face the Nation. He is also an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.
He is currently a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a special partner with the venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and serves on the boards of Pfizer, Illumina, Aetion, and Tempus. NEA is one of the world’s largest venture capital firms. Contrary to various rumors, Dr. Gottlieb is not related to the notorious CIA leader of MK ULTRA (‘Dr. Strangelove’) Dr. Sidney Gottlieb. Based on reports from confidential sources, I have previously reported that Dr. Gottlieb also serves the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as an adviser and was actively engaged with the CIA during the Covid crisis. Before first joining the FDA, and in between each of his three tours of Government service, Gottlieb was a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Fortune magazine identified Gottlieb as one of its 2018 ‘The World’s 50 Greatest Leaders’, ranking him number six. The magazine stated: “Gottlieb has gotten credit for being transparent about FDA steps — and, more important, for using his bully pulpit without being a bully.”
He received his bachelor’s degree in economics from Wesleyan University. After completing his undergraduate education, he worked as a healthcare analyst at the investment bank Alex Brown & Sons in Baltimore. Gottlieb attended medical school at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and completed his residency in internal medicine at the Mount Sinai Hospital.
His ascendancy from an otherwise undistinguished internal medicine resident with a background in economics to highly lauded FDA commissioner at age 44 is quite remarkable. Even more remarkable has been his successful strong advocacy and lobbying in corporate media for the CIA to assume a dominant role in public health during the Covid crisis – despite never having an official Government position involving the CIA, DIA or other elements of the intelligence community. The depth of his involvement with the agency is unknown, but his advocacy for the interests of the CIA, Pfizer and the vaccine industry during the time of Covid have been consistent throughout the ‘pandemic’.
Let’s recap some of Dr. Gottlieb’s most egregious behaviour since leaving the FDA to join the Pfizer board.
Gottlieb was crucial to convincing Trump to lock down. Kushner put him on the phone and Dr. Gottlieb pushed for the hardest lockdown possible. He was also a strong advocate for the use of masks. In many ways, Gottlieb’s role was at least as important as that played by Fauci and Birx, if not more so.
In August of 2021, Gottlieb saw a tweet disparaging the Covid jabs which was written by Dr. Brett Giroir. Dr. Giroir was formerly the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health (under President Trump), a four-star Admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and an acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner.
This tweet simply stated that natural immunity was superior over vaccine-conferred immunity. That natural immunity is superior to vaccines is something that has been known since… well since the time vaccines were invented. That is a ‘vaccine 101’ kind of fact. Pretty much self-evident.
So Gottlieb emailed a top employee and lobbyist working for Twitter complaining about the tweet.
Recapping, Dr. Gottlieb sits on the board of Pfizer and has many surreptitious links with the U.S. Government, including his membership in the National Academy of Medicine.
Dr. Gottlieb then suggested to this employee that the tweet should be flagged as misinformation, writing that the offending tweet could prove ‘corrosive’ to the nationwide Covid vaccination campaign.
Twitter then labelled the tweet with a ‘Misleading’ label – despite the tweet being true, and having come from a senior Trump official who outranked Dr. Gottlieb!
During this same period of time, Scott Gottlieb was very busy lobbying in a wide range of corporate media outlets on behalf of the intelligence community to form a new office for the CIA, one that would effectively position the CIA to control all information, intelligence, interpretation and public policy relating to infectious disease as well as chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear threat mitigation – the CBRN mission space. This proposed initiative would place the CIA in charge of a global intelligence and policy network and enable it to gain bureaucratic control of key aspects of missions previously managed by the Department of Defence (Defence Threat Reduction Agency), the Department of Homeland Security and the HHS Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Below are a few excerpts from the many interviews that Scott Gottlieb did between February and end of September 2021 on this topic (emphasis added).
In the U.S., there is a longstanding aversion to involving the tools of national security in public health. Health officials don’t want to cooperate with intelligence services for fear that it will impede their multilateral commitments or that intelligence groups will classify important sets of data. Many worry that every American working in a lab coat overseas will be perceived as a spy.
But without help from public-health officials, intelligence agencies are less equipped to spot relevant information. The intelligence community can’t protect sensitive public-health concerns unless public-health officials work with them and explain the issues. And without relationships in the public-health world, intelligence services may have a harder time sharing the information they do receive.
Covid proved that international conventions and cooperation can’t be the sole backstop in a crisis. We need more capability for gathering information when there are signs of outbreaks. This means we’ll have to rely on more-traditional national-security tools, including intelligence services…
The National Security Council recently re-established a position to focus on pandemic risks, and this is an opportunity for improvement. American adversaries already treat information on infectious diseases the way they handle other national security material: They engage their intelligence agencies in helping to monitor and mitigate these threats. The U.S. should do the same, which would also help bring threats to the attention of policy-makers. Senators aren’t reading academic papers, but they are reading the CIA’s World Intelligence Review and other estimates, which should include relevant information on public health.
This reporting would also better inform diplomats: Perhaps they’re monitoring a foreign lab with fragile controls. Feeding intelligence estimates to diplomats has been a hallmark of arms-control efforts and inspections and can also help improve biosecurity and surveillance. By now most Americans agree that pandemics are a threat to national security. It’s time to start treating them like one.
We need to start looking at public health through the lens of national security and involving our tools of national security in this mission.
If anything, COVID-19 has conditioned nations to be less likely to share information in the future. Most nations have learned is that if you’re a host to an outbreak of a novel or dangerous pathogen, the first thing that’s going to happen is other countries are going to erect trade and travel restrictions on you. The economic implications of being host to an outbreak have now grown more significant than they were in the past. This is going to make even friendly nations less likely to be forthcoming…
We’re going to need to have more ability to gather this, and that’s going to require us to lean on intelligence agencies.
Then Dr. Scott Gottlieb publishes his book on September 21st 2021 on this very same topic. The book cover on Amazon reads:
We must also get our intelligence services more engaged in the global public health mission, to gather information and uncover emerging risks before they hit our shores so we can head them off. For this role, our clandestine agencies have tools and capabilities that the CDC lacks.
Quotes by Scott Gottlieb on September 17th (NBC News):
Among those calling for the spies to do more about pandemics is Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, who said the impact of the coronavirus could have been mitigated early if the U.S. had had better intelligence on what the Chinese knew.
“I think going forward we’re not going to just be able to depend on countries’ voluntarily sharing information,” Gottlieb said on CNBC last week. “We’re going to have to go in and have the capacity to collect it and to monitor for these things, and that means getting our foreign intelligence services much more engaged in the public health mission globally.”
Writing in the Washington Post, Gottlieb said the U.S. cannot rely only on the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health agencies to gather information as a pandemic is emerging. (Sept 30th 2021).
All of Scott Gottlieb’s lobbying, writings, book and speeches from February to September of 2021 appear to be in support of a “new office for medical intelligence” so that the U.S. can gather “earlier pandemic warnings” from foreign agents.
As shown in the image above, this great big media campaign culminated in the House Intelligence Committee voting to create a new intelligence office, with new roles, responsibilities and a mandate relating to “disease outbreaks and pandemics” (and although not named, we can be sure these include ‘bioterrorism’ threats). In fact, the renamed intelligence office is in charge of not just biological threats, but a vast array of ‘terrorism’ threats.
Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Adam Schiff (D.-Calif.), inserted the provision into the annual intelligence authorisation bill and it was signed into law. This bill created a new intelligence office to counter foreign biological threats (and so much more – or so it seems).
The renamed office is now the National Counter-proliferation and Biosecurity Centre. Although it has been stated in the press that this was about biologics, this office is vast. We do not know exactly what the reorganisation consists of. It is organisationally under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that focuses on containing the spread of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
The bill included a classified annex, which includes several provisions to boost pandemic preparedness and global health security. What this office has been delegated to do is to combat “disease outbreaks and pandemics”. But how it is to do that is completely obscured from the public, as it has been classified. We do not know what Congress has authorised it to do as it has been shrouded using a non-transparent, classified mechanism. What it is actually doing is anyone’s guess – outside of the circle of those granted the necessary security clearances. What we do know is that the CIA and the Five Eyes intelligence alliance were deeply involved in almost every aspect of Western nations’ mismanagement of the Covid crisis, from the engineering of the virus to the ensuing global harmonised propaganda, psyops and censorship campaigns.
Just to be clear, the U.S. gain-of-function research at Wuhan Institute of Virology was also aimed at being able to detect early pandemics…
Returning back to Scott Gottlieb.
Writing and speaking about this dozens of times just prior to the Congress inserting language into a bill that allowed U.S. intelligence to step in (control?) areas that are traditionally the domain of public health – by redefining this as “global health security” – is not a coincidence. The fact is that the moment this bill was approved by Congress, Gottlieb stopped his lobbying. Just think about that. Overnight he had no more interest in writing or speaking about the need for intelligence to be overseeing ‘pandemic preparedness’. Mission accomplished.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb has been one of the most influential voices during the Covid crisis. His rapid career advancement and consequent role in the pandemic, including lobbying for this new intelligence office during a time when he was not working for the Government, but rather was working for Pfizer and one of the largest venture capital funds in the world – raises a key question. What is his actual role in the U.S. intelligence community?
Dr Robert W. Malone is an internationally recognised scientist and physician and the original inventor of mRNA and DNA vaccination as a technology, being the holder of numerous fundamental domestic and foreign patents. He has sat on or served as chairperson on U.S. health and defence committees and currently sits as a non-voting member on the NIH ACTIV committee, which is tasked with managing clinical research for a variety of drug and antibody treatments for COVID-19.

Slight distraction. What about the amazing announcement that we will no longer be free in the UK but will need to ask constant permission for access to society against the ever expanding and constantly changing requirements of our police state masters…?
That development, if it transpires, must be met with French Resistance level pushback. For our children’s sake, if not for our own. If they can establish that, atrocities will follow as sure as night follows day.
im ready to visit my local supermarket, load up a couple of trolleys and then walk out. How about you>?
National Socialist Salute needed when walking past covid blokleiters.
But the nearest British equivalent of Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie would be Little Britain’s Fat Pat. More seriously, Lambie had a strange Damascene conversion not long ago on the subject of gene therapy injections. One minute she was grilling Brendan Murphy on how crap the vax damage payout scheme was, and then the next she was screaming in the Senate about how every last person must be hunted down and vaxxed. Perhaps she had a visit from the trench coats.
Yes, somebody or something has got to the Independent federal Senator from Tasmania. The woman who had told a Senate Inquiry into Australia’s Covid vaxx roll-out that her Taswegian constituents (including herself and her friends) were hesitant to take the jab because of the side effects and the lack of compensation should anything go wrong, has gone full Vaxx Brownshirt.
She has spoken with unhinged fury against a motion moved by One Nation senator, Pauline Hanson, to outlaw No-Jab-No-Job vaccine mandates. She has supported the fruit canning and processing giant, SPC, and their introduction of a vaxx mandate for their employees, getting quite gung-ho with the veiled threats: “those anti-vaxxers out there, that 20 or 30 per cent, ah, the ones out there ah protesting on the streets and doing that sort of thing, I think you’re going to find the rest of us coming at you lock, stock and barrel, ah, and we’re going to be putting the pressure on you fairly hard because the rest of us that are trying to do the right thing by the country, and our kids, and get vaccinated and do the right thing, um, I think for you we’re going to start getting even more agitated and we’re going to start getting more hardcore and I think that’s what you’re going to see massive division out there, ah, and it’ll be us on the front foot, that’s what I think’s gonna happen, I think the tide is going to turn, on those anti-vaxxers out there and you are really gunna feel the heat.”
Now it’s Novack’s turn to earn the demented ire of the absolute charmer from the arse-end of Australia.
I don’t particularly like Djokovic’s on court persona but he is a fantastic tennis player and, we now learn, a very brave and principled man.
I suppose it’s a lot easier to be brave and principled when you are a multi-millionaire but I’m sure the pressure on him to give is immense.
Forget the money, he has the chance to move clear as the winner of the most men’s slams in history. To potentially give up the chance to win another (a slam he always wins), shows admirable courage in sticking to his principles.
Maybe he can see a future where he alone remains the ‘fittest’ tennis player…
And perhaps the only tennis player.
If only more of them followed his example.
No one has disclosed what is actually in the various Jabs, and as drug taking is a problem in the sports world he is looking pretty principled..
Djokovic is showing a lot more sense than people like Sergio Agūero, now invalided out of his chosen sport. Djoko’s on court persona is totally irrelevant here.
On the BBC today:
‘Universal mandatory Covid vaccinations are unethical and will not be introduced in England, the health secretary says.
Asked on BBC Breakfast if he envisages compulsory vaccinations, Sajid Javid says no, adding that they have only been introduced in high-risk settings such as for NHS and social care workers.
“I think it’s unethical and also I think that at a practical level having some kind of universal mandate for vaccination doesn’t work,” he says.
On Wednesday, the prime minister suggested there should be national debate on mandatory vaccination but Javid says there is no need for a debate and suggests Boris Johnson was referring to a conversation about “high-risk settings”.
Well, let’s hope so.
Quite, let’s hope so. If they try and force universal mandates, people will get nasty and things will go out of control. Anyway, Bojo, I thought you said 70% vaxxed would be enough for herd immunity. Or was that another lie?
Last year it was let’s just just get the elderly and the vulnerable vaxxed them we can go back to normal!
looking bac k the whole thing was a propaganda master class. I saw a repeat of the woman who was first to get a vaccine in the uk with all the nhs staff standing in a line down the hospital corridor clapping like morons. I actually felt a little bit of stomach acid come up . it was that bad!
It’s ALL lies!
“Believe nothing, trust nobody”
The jabs (not vaccines) ensure that herd immunity can never be reached and the looting can continue as long as the globalists require it to.
Last year we were told 15 million to end the cycle of lockdowns.
I’m sure they’ll be looking at the idea Greece has come up with.. To mandate the clotshots for all over 60s, it’ll solve the pension crisis, the drain on the NHS, the social care issue and free up property all in one move.
Since I’m over 60 I am resigned to the fact I will be shipped off to some camp for dissenting…… But they’ll have to fucking catch me first and I won’t go peacefully.
We’ve an attic you can hide in – at least until they come for us.
Thank you, may need to take youup on that sooner than any of us think.
Welcome. Might be quite crowded, but at least there won’t be any panickers….
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Don’t burn in the camps.
If (when) there was a ‘national debate’ on compulsory vaccinations, would it be an informed debate I wonder? Would everyone be allowed to participate, or would the filthy unjabbed be banned from entering any debating chamber? Rhetorical. I think we know the answer.
See the ITV poll.
High risk settings like going to the pub? Or working in the private sector?
Lambie is an unhinged nutcase. I would say mad as a box of frogs, but that would be unfair on the mental capacity of cartoned amphibia.
I hear the slow boiling of frogs can be quite fun.
Well, yes – for psychopathic sadists. For MPs? Yes, of course!
Who gives a fuck about tennis when they plan to kill us
In her resignation statement Shithead praises the Pig Dictator
She is so thick that it is oblivious to her that from start to end the Pig Dictator set her up
I suspect they recruit and retain a few thickos for these very purposes
Some people have commented that Plan B was a distraction from the party story
Au contraire, the manufactured party story allowed the introduction of the next stage of Stan’s genocide laws
I agree with most of your sentiments. I am maybe a bit biased because I follow tennis (or used to) but I think this story is important as long as Djokovic sticks to his guns, refuses to reveal his vaxx status and refuses to go to Aus. I don’t want him to have an exemption. A Number 1 sports person in a big money sport who stands up for freedom would be a useful ally.
I think an exemption would be good if he then refused and said all must be treated equally.
Yes
Indeed, but perhaps too much to hope for.
Yes, the fight against the genocidal Covid scam needs to be waged on a broad basis. Djokovic’s firm stand may help some waverers start the wake up process and for that alone it has merit.
Distraction from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, more likely. I reckon if those facts became known, everyone would forget about the lurgy altogether, as those who seek to control us are very likely to be heavily implicated.
I don’t want this to happen but if a player has a heart attack during the later stages of the Aussie Open how do they spin out of that? Well played Novak, his coaches and management team for being principled.
“The Tasmanian Senator on Thursday morning said the rules were simple and Djokovic shouldn’t receive any special treatment. “
No, you want him to have a not-fully trialled, experimental gene therapy treatment, for an illness that in his case, would have 99.9+% survival rate of he got it!!!!
Refusing him is SPECIAL TREATMENT you clot shot jabbing clots.
I’m sure that he will “cry all the way to the bank”
(Djokovic)
Double vaccinated is so three-months ago. Leading politicians worldwide agree that Immunity these days is only worthwhile after three jabs and the two jabbed are no better than the stinking unjabbed. Are these Australian politicians literally trying to kill people?
YES
Soz, but 3 jabs is already last week’s news. Reports from Israel say a 4th shot will be needed for all, within the near future. Even BG does not force updates of his carp software on us that often.
Any player worth their salt will boycott the australian open in protest against australias crimes against humanity.
Sadly I don’t suppose any will.
Tasmanian devil.
Or Honey Badger?
The Present Mrs Johnson has given birth, hope it wasn’t a forced medical intervention as a distraction
Has it got 666 on its forhead?
No, but it’ll have to be weaned off cake.
As Australia and New Zealand are no longer functioning democracies, they should be excluded from all sporting events.
Ditto the UK, USA, China, ………….
So if you can get a ‘medical exemption’ to jabbing then you don’t need to isolate?
In that case, isolation isn’t necessary for anyone.
I guess all those grandees and their lackeys who attended COP26 must have qualified for ‘medical exemptions’ in order not to need to quarantine?
You have, in fact, caused me to re-think my comment above, Mr Dee. If one can get a medical exemption to a jab, then the jab itself isn’t necessary, never mind being excused other ‘mitigations’. If people who are, say, ‘allergic’ to some component or other of the jabs can be ok without it, then so can anyone else.
And all those grandees and their lackeys you mention? Saline, my dear Mr Dee; they were jabbed with saline only. That dollop Merkel might have risked the actual jab, but she seems frit of her own shadow. Perhaps on account of being an elderly overweight old woman, with who knows what other comorbidities.
“Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie, who believes that Djokovic is trying to exploit a “loophole” to dodge the Grand Slam’s Covid restrictions“
Is there actually any evidence Djokovic is applying for this loophole exemption, beyond the fact that the organisers have apparently included him on the list of players – possibly just wishful thinking on their part?
Seems pointless if so. Why stand on principle over the “vaccine” coercion and then weasel your way in via an exemption?
If he does that then Djokovic is revealed as merely another sporting conformist and hypocrite. But until then, and so long as he sticks to his guns, he remains a fine, and rare, example of real integrity in pro sports. Genuinely courageous, in a genuinely important cause, unlike all those knee-taking conformist virtue signallers.
There should be no discrimination over the “vaccine”, and nobody, whether “vaccinated” or not, should participate in or attend any event that discriminates. By doing so, you condone the discrimination.
Well said, not that I’m sucking up because I need your attic
Oh I don’t know, I have claimed exemption from face coverings.
People should have the legal right to not share medical history, but…nations have the right to exclude any non-citizens from their nation. I despise this who mandate garbage but, it’s not my nation and the Aussies have allows tyrants to rule them, so bigger issues than tennis. But let him play!
Yes it is the Aussie’s choice and I hope he doesn’t play.
In the UK Coercion and Bullying is iIlegal Gov.UK, can they coerce the jab with the threat of restrictions in your life?
Oh the irony of it being called the Australian Open
Utter nonsense – he’s already had the virus and so has natural immunity!
Maybe the sports bods will boycott this event like the UK and USA will boycott the winter olympics.
Nope that is just too plain simple.
Ah, Tasmania, the home of the most effective genocide I’ve heard of against its native people.
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
