On election night, Dr. McCullough and I engaged in watching the television coverage until late, reflecting on the outcomes and implications for governance. Dr. McCullough, a prominent figure in addressing COVID-19 vaccine injuries, was energized by recent discussions with high-ranking doctors at major hospitals, signaling a budding acknowledgment within the medical community about the pressing need to address vaccine-related health issues. This stands in stark contrast to recent actions taken in Canada, where a man suffering from a vaccine injury was euthanized, highlighting the differing approaches to healthcare and patient rights between the two countries. In the United States, there is a glimmer of hope as more medical professionals are beginning to join Dr. McCullough’s initiative to actively treat and support patients grappling with these injuries.
The following morning brought news of overwhelming support for Donald Trump, with many of my friends expressing joy over his apparent mandate, having convincingly won both the popular and electoral votes. This outcome not only reflects a shift in the political landscape but also reinstates the notion of governance as fundamentally for the people, by the people, per the U.S. Constitution. The discontent towards the current administration, often reflected in the absurdities surrounding figures like Kamala Harris, has galvanized many ordinary Americans who have felt neglected and insulted over the past few years. The mood in Dallas was bright and hopeful, indicating a collective yearning for a return to democratic principles and effective governance.
Amidst this renewed optimism, there remains a cautionary perspective regarding the President-elect’s transition period until the inauguration on January 20, 2025. It is essential for him to navigate this phase with careful deliberation to effectively counter the numerous challenges and potential pitfalls that lie ahead. The euphoria surrounding his victory could lead to complacency, increasing the risk of missteps at a time when political tensions remain high. Ensuring his personal security and guarding against potential threats should be of utmost priority, especially given the historical context of political violence and instability.
The political landscape is fraught with challenges, including the threat posed by a resurgent “Deep State” or entrenched bureaucratic interests that may feel threatened by the shift in power. These factions may seek to undermine the new administration through various means, potentially including a release of a synthetic infectious disease or other destabilizing tactics. The unresolved questions surrounding the origins of the COVID-19 virus, particularly the Wuhan lab leak, remain a significant concern. With no accountability for the events of 2020, the potential for similar occurrences in the future looms large, underscoring the necessity for vigilance and strategic decision-making in addressing public health and security matters.
Furthermore, the President-elect must heed the lessons learned from his initial term, particularly regarding appointments and the quality of counsel he surrounds himself with. The inclusion of individuals who do not align with his vision, such as John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, led to significant policy misalignments and public dissatisfaction. Future appointments should be chosen with care to avoid professional and ideological conflicts that could hinder the administration’s objectives and contribute to political instability. A reflection on these experiences can provide a roadmap for building a more coherent governing team committed to serving the interests of the American people.
As Dr. McCullough and I extend our congratulations to the President-elect, our optimism remains tempered by the need for vigilance and strategic planning as he steps into office. The momentum towards a more accountable and limited federal state could mark a turning point in American governance, but achieving this goal requires meticulous attention to detail, alignment of objectives, and a commitment to the foundational values of democracy. Our hopes are with Dr. McCullough as he continues his critical work in patient advocacy, and we look forward to witnessing how the new administration navigates the complex and challenging landscape that lies ahead.
