Protect the Public's Trust is calling for an investigation into Surgeon General Vivek Murthy for recommending 'physical distancing' to combat the coronavirus.
In a letter to Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm, obtained by the, PPT called for an investigation into Murthy for “apparent violations of scientific integrity standards” after Murthy recommended physical distancing that resulted in draconian mandates and school closures at the height of the pandemic.
In a separate records request, PPT obtained a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report titled “Operational Strategy for K-12 Schools through Phased Prevention,” which the organization said appears to be the “sole basis” for claiming distancing could work. The letter said the report has five sources, none of which reach that conclusion.
Several more sources cited in the report also did not support social distancing, and some did not even mention it as a preventive method, according to the letter.
