<p><em>Four people who spent the COVID years being silenced sat down to talk about accountability. All four described the same tactics — still running, under a different administration.</em></p><p>In this panel from the 2026 F4F National Security Beyond the Headlines Summit, co-founder<strong>Jim Erdman </strong>moderates journalist <strong>Steve Baker</strong>, constitutional attorney<strong>Ivan Raiklin</strong>, physician-scientist <strong>Dr. Robert Malone</strong>, and investigative reporter<strong>Emily Kopp</strong>.</p><p>Dr. Malone, who served as vice chair of the ACIP, describes what he saw inside HHS and why he concluded the problem is structural rather than partisan. Emily Kopp explains why the corporate press and the permanent bureaucracy protect each other. Steve Baker describes what happens to a reporter who won&#39;t drop a story.
