Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based private surveillance firm, insists its cameras are not tracking people. Yet its own systems, training materials, and expanding product line tell a different story -one of a rapidly growing, warrantless mass surveillance infrastructure that logs vehicle movements, follows pedestrians with AI, and feeds data-hungry police departments across the country.

UNREPORTED TRUTHS: BERENSON--PFIZER, COLLINS, AND MUCH MORE

National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins told his deputies he was "baffled" by Pfizer's involvement on the July 2021 call.

....the call came at a delicate moment.

Less than two months before, Dr. Anthony Fauci had promised the risk of a resurgence of Covid was “extraordinarily low.” If enough people took mRNA shots the United States might “essentially eliminate the presence” of the virus, he told the Washington Post.

But in early July, even with the media still blaring about a “hot vax summer,” Israeli hospitals began to report a surge in new Covid patients.

These were vaccinated new Covid patients, older people who had received the shot in the first wave of Israel’s highly publicized mRNA jab campaign, which used only Pfizer’s shots. The “vaccines” seemed to have suddenly lost their ability to prevent Covid infections — not in decades or years, but a few months. MORE AT Why was Pfizer's head global lobbyist on a crucial call about Covid boosters with federal scientists as Pfizer's mRNA jabs were failing?

The Biden Administration had taken power in January promising to accelerate mRNA distribution and soothe the deep fears that many Democrats had over Covid. For the White House, any risk the mRNA jabs might fall short of expectations represented a massive political and medical problem.
