The email below, which was obtained by FOIA, lists Francis Collins, Anthony Fauci, Cliff Lane and Lawrence Tabak as involved in administering the “take down.” and character assassination of the primary authors. They have sought to limit activist scientist and physicians by libeling and setting up main stream media in opposition. On the other side of this issue, The US Government Health and Human Services (HHS) through NIH and legacy media ( via the Trusted News Initiative) that have acted as the radical influencers to close the Overton window regarding universal vaccination, mandates and forced vaccination of children. “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk.
This declaration, now with almost one million signatures, reiterates sound, scientific principles regarding pandemic response policies that basically state the following: The Great Barrington Declaration is an example of an “outsider” group of scientists that have managed to expand the COVID-19 Overton window by use of a successful social media campaign. One can argue that NIH has become one such advocacy group working to benefit the USG pandemic response policies (and the bureaucrat/politician careers of key HHS leaders) -by both limiting and expanding the Overton window as needed. That it is these groups who act to convince voters and the public that policies outside the window should be included, or to limit what should be allowed to fit within the “approved” Overton window. Both Trump and his original campaign manager Steve Bannon are a masterful marketers and media manipulators, so their use of the Overton window as a tool in social media marketing campaigns was most likely intentional.Īs a general rule, it is believed that think tanks and social movements are the political actors who shift the Overton window one way or another. In fact, Trump’s expansion of the Overton window was key to his success.
An exception to this rule may be a populist, charismatic and radicalized leader, such as President Trump. So, according to Joseph Lehman, president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, politicians can only detect the Overton window but are not typically effective in directly influencing it. Lawmakers are actually in the business of detecting where the window is, and then moving to be in accordance with it.”
“The most common misconception is that lawmakers themselves are in the business of shifting the Overton window. There is now a deep understanding of the political science behind the Overton Window, and the idea is being used to market ideas to the public in ways never thought of before by governmental organizations and agencies.
They have also effectively used smear campaigns both against groups and individuals to limit the Overton Window and keep their policy positions from being questioned by the public and to expand governmental authority. Francis Collins and many others have acted to limit or close the Overton Window. Government officials are intentionally acting as those disruptive groups which limit the window by co-opting media outlets, social media and big tech through NGOs, The Trusted News Initiative and three letter agencies. To be explicitly clear, the Overton Window is a political concept which is being actively manipulated to constrain scientific discourse. In the case of COVID-19, the use of the noble lie has been used by government and world health officials as well as legacy media sycophants to restrict and even close the Overton window regarding issues such as mask use, vaccination strategies, and lockdowns. That politicians can only be effective by advocating policy that fits within the Overton window and that disruptive groups are the ones who can expand or contract the Overton window. The Overton window of political possibility is the concept that there are a limited range of ideas the public is willing to consider and accept.
