Pandemic Response Report: Biden's DOJ Refuses to Investigate Nursing Home Deaths and COVID Origins

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Biden's Justice Department has notified House Republican Whip and Select Subcommittee Ranking Member Steve Scalise that it won't investigate the deadly "must admit" orders issued by governors in New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan that sent COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes, resulting in the deaths of thousands of seniors. This move has been widely criticized by Republicans, who argue that the DOJ should prioritize holding those responsible accountable for the avoidable deaths.

Additionally, House Democrats have blocked consideration of the COVID-19 Origin Act, which would require the declassification of intelligence surrounding the origins of COVID-19 and hold Communist China accountable. This move is seen as a shield for China's Communist Party from accountability.

Meanwhile, the crisis at the border continues to worsen, with COVID-19 cases surging by 900% in the Rio Grande Valley Sector. Republicans have accused the Biden Administration of allowing unvaccinated illegal immigrants to pour into the country, often without being tested for COVID-19.

Key Takeaways:

  • Biden's Justice Department refuses to investigate the deadly "must admit" orders issued by governors in New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan that sent COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes.
  • House Democrats have blocked consideration of the COVID-19 Origin Act, which would require the declassification of intelligence surrounding the origins of COVID-19 and hold Communist China accountable.
  • COVID-19 cases have surged by 900% in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, with 135 detainees testing positive in the first two weeks of July alone.
  • The Biden Administration's strategy of relying on non-governmental organizations to conduct testing and provide quarantine space after release is inadequate, as migrants who test positive for COVID-19 can simply choose to leave for the interior of the country before the quarantine period is finished.
  • Democrats and the left-wing media have not openly criticized Texas Democrats for flying maskless and meeting with people all over D.C. after several of the state lawmakers tested positive for COVID-19.
  • The Select Subcommittee will hold a hearing on pandemic rental relief programs without the testimony of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, whose department administers the emergency rental assistance program.
  • Congress has appropriated more than $46 billion to assist renters who fell behind on payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but only $1.5 billion was provided to 350,000 households as of December 2020.

Statistics:

  • 135 detainees tested positive for COVID-19 in the first two weeks of July alone in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
  • 900% increase in COVID-19 cases among detainees in the Rio Grande Valley Sector compared to the previous 14 months.
  • 1,000 people per day are successfully crossing the border undetected and without COVID-19 testing.
  • $46 billion in congressional appropriations for pandemic rental relief programs.
  • $1.5 billion in emergency rental assistance provided to 350,000 households as of December 2020.
  • 52% of Americans believe the COVID-19 virus originated from a lab in China (according to a recent survey conducted by POLITICO and Harvard).
