NEWS: It's now ok to speculate that the COVID pandemic leaked from a lab because the Wall Street Journal talked about it. Sadly that's the standard. Our dear thought leaders finally green lit it. wsj.com/articles/intel…
This is seriously what happened.

FAUCI:
-- May 2020: "strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature" archive.is/vkfkg
-- May 2021: Now Fauci is "not convinced" it evolved from nature. archive.is/8ivC0
^^ What you're looking at is our world's leaders screwing you over.

To that end it's worth seeing who blindly believed in this authority last year. Because "muh Orange Man bad" or something.

Surprisingly Tucker Carlson's initial beliefs aged well
CNN, April 2020: "Nearly 30% in the US believe a coronavirus theory that's almost certainly not true" cnn.com/2020/04/13/us/…
IF anything the Western media establishment and WHO were gullible talkingpointsmemo.com/news/china-all…
Regardless, places like TIME ran these denials as if scripture time.com/5824061/wuhan-…
This bring us back to Fauci.

HERE the World Health Organization SWEARS the origin was BATS. foxnews.com/science/who-co…

So Dr. Fauci committed a heinous crime of wrong think by expressing doubt about WHOs findings! cnn.com/videos/health/…

It's pretty wild, is all I'm saying. all of this.

We could expand the "MISINFO" angle further than it is, currently.

But there's only so many hours in a day. archive.is/nIljP archive.is/ZcCMB
Even this Washington Post guy is on board now
Indeed.
Another factor.

We wouldn't be having this thread about the lab leak theory if China's leadership was more forthcoming from the beginning, after all.
And yet here we are. Lab leak even makes it past Twitter's trends editorial team!
I'll leave this thread open for political ideologues who last year goaded online about how they KNEW that COVID didn't come from a lab.

But as it stands? The point has been made (once again) about how trust in the media establishment is PLUMMETING.
In conclusion (and in victory lap): EVERYONE JUMPED ON ONE NARRATIVE, and now they be DOUBTIN' said narrative. archive.is/fC6iP archive.is/lEb5K

The end.
