Notes From My Journal
Word of the Day: Remember
Remember – it was just 18 months ago – when Trump suggested that COVID-19 might have come from a lab in Wuhan?
Every major “news” outlet – including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and all 3 major broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, and NBC), not to mention CNN and MSNBC – “fact-checked” Trump’s charge and said it was baseless. A conspiracy theory!
And it wasn’t just the news media. Fauci and every other government health hack agreed.
Well, there’s been a fair amount of looking into it since then. And the new story from all of them – which they insist they’ve been saying all along – is that, yes, it is possible that the virus came from the lab. Some still believe it’s not likely. Some believe it’s highly likely. And some are in between.
The facts, at this stage are incomplete. The truth is not yet known. But what is certain is that the only conspiracy, if there was one, was the (perhaps unspoken) agreement among leftist media and politicians to attach the term “conspiracy” to what is now acknowledged to be a perfectly legitimate theory.
Russell Brand – a very smart and funny person – does a nice, energetic job of summing it all up here.
