Not only were we lied to by people who knew better about the possibility of a lab leak, we were lied to for political and financial reasons. Our nation's most powerful and well compensated life-long bureaucrat lied to us. Over and over. That's fraud for financial gain.

Outfits like the Atlantic are too little too late on this story and countless others - all because they're still on tilt from a dumb egomaniac president who blinkered their ability to tell right from wrong merely by occasionally saying something close to the truth.

Why is the media so distrusted? Why are people seeking out independent journos on substack et al?

I wonder.

Can't wait for another foot-twisting aw shucks article on countless other stories. Ivermectin in ~6 months maybe?
