I'm still stunned that many people never considered that the Wuhan Virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was studying and modifying exactly those sorts of viruses.
But such is the power of TDS. Reality doesn't matter, common sense doesn't matter, a million deaths don't matter. All that matters to them is their hate for Trump and they would sell their own children for dog food if it would hurt Trump in some way, even now.

“ Now that the Narrative Wall has come down in a manner metaphorically quite similar to what happened to the civil infrastructure in Jericho, we can see just how devoid of merit is the American mainstream media.
For an entire year these people, aided by the totalitarians who run the Big Tech social media sites (and one way to let the market punish those guys is to click here and join us at The Speakeasy), have done everything they could to squelch any notion that COVID-19 is the product of irresponsible, if not downright evil, virology research gone wrong in Wuhan, China.
This despite the quite obvious factual basis of the lab-leak theory of how the Wuhan virus got out.
It was known a year ago that three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been hospitalized in the fall of 2019 with symptoms identical to COVID-19. It was also known a year ago that cell-phone traffic had gone dark for 17 days in the vicinity of that facility in October 2019 — a tell-tale sign that the place had been evacuated so it could be disinfected. It was well known that safety conditions at the Wuhan lab were poor at best, and it was a time bomb waiting to go off. It was also fairly well known, particularly among the public health bureaucrats working for the U.S. federal government, that research was being done at that facility on bat coronaviruses to produce something exactly like COVID-19. That was known because the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), the agency headed by one Dr. Anthony Fauci, was indirectly funding that research despite it having been banned in 2014. Fauci had created a “national security” workaround from the ban.
All of these things were known. Perhaps not by the public, but by people who were in a position to know.
Months ago, Dr. Robert Redfield, the former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), publicly endorsed the lab-leak theory. Redfield had enough information to state what was patently obvious; namely, that this virus didn’t come from bat soup cooked up at a Chinese wet market. It had to be engineered to do what it did.
Was Redfield given any credit for having recognized this? No. He was a former head of the CDC, and yet he was treated with yawns.
Why? Because the narrative was already set on the origins of COVID-19. And what was that narrative?
That the lab-leak theory was nuttery. It was a conspiracy theory. It was a racist lie.
And why? Because President Trump, who had access to more information on the subject than most people thanks to his job, correctly identified the lab-leak theory as the most likely explanation for COVID-19’s release into the public.“
