Litigation Hobbyist Advances on Appeal Against Meta Platforms, Inc.
February 24, 2024
It had begun as a simple action, brought under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), but where it went from there has baffled even the scientists, the first and longest surviving litigation challenge against the COVID-19 countermeasures, as they had been appropriately described in the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Declaration, having been developed without the prerequisite knowledge of infectious dose, immunogenicity and correlates of protection, making the rollout of these products technically a large sample size, phase three clinical trial. Meta Platforms, Inc. had been added as a defendant under the provisions of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act protecting the entrances of places of worship, after, in retaliation for the initial suit, filed on July 7, 2021, Major Mike Webb, a former biological warfare planner's Facebook account had been permanently disabled by Meta Platforms, Inc., expressly for "security reasons". After the case had been dismissed against Meta Platforms, Inc., on February 1, 2024, Major Mike Webb filed a historic appeal, the first test of the provisions protecting the entrances of places of worship under the FACE Act,

In Webb v. Fauci, with Justice Sam Alito abstaining from argument, the official government position regarding SARS-CoV-2 had been refined, because the ultimate original classification authority had essentially elected a right to remain silent throughout the entire litigation: the government can neither confirm nor deny that it owns the novel virus, SARS-CoV-2, the biological causative agent for COVID-19. Under Executive Order 12,958, the infectious dose and/or the secondary attack rate for COVID-19 could not be classified information, unless the Goverment had owned or controlled the novel virus, and, accordingly, by operation of law, if the Government owned or controlled SARS-CoV-2, it would have to have been cultivated or manipulated in a laboratory.
