Yahoo News has obtained excerpts of a video published by Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Michael Caputo on his Facebook page earlier this week.
In it, he accuses Democrats, the media and scientists working for the U.S. government of sabotaging the country’s fight against the Covid19 pandemic for political gain.
“The partisan Democrats, the conjugal media, and the scientists – the deep-state scientists – want America sick through November. They cannot afford for us to have any good news before November – because they’re already losing,” Caputo said.
“Donald Trump, right now, if the election were held today, would win. Not by much…but he would win. And that’s why [Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate] Kamala Harris is out there talking like an anti-vaxxer.”
“I know some people on my feed are against vaccines and I encourage you not to get one if you don’t want one. I encourage you to follow freedom anywhere it leads. But I’m going to get a vaccine. In fact, as Assistant Secretary of Health I’ll be one of the first ones to get a vaccine. And I know it’s safe because I’m involved in its development.”
But he goes on to reiterate his warning that elements within the government are in essence practicing sedition by sabotaging the country’s response to the Covid19 pandemic.
“Let me tell you something, there’s tons of positive news out there about this pandemic. And the Democrats can’t have it, their conjugal media can’t have it, and there are scientists working for this government who do not want America to get better. Did you hear me? There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well. Not until after Joe Biden is president. It’s a fact. I know it because I’ve heard it.” Caputo says soberly.
Caputo discusses the mental stress he feels from living alone in Washington D.C.
It was announced this week that he would be taking a 60-day leave of absence from his post at HHS “to focus on his health and the well-being of his family.” In a statement, Caputo described the situation as a medical leave for “a lymphatic issue discovered last week.”
