One of the things the American public can never do is forget the constant gaslighting that’s taken place in the news cycle over the past few years.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was consistently saying — in a tone as smug as possible — that the “lab-leak theory was a theory with zero evidence,” as he looked down at the American public from atop his television throne.

News anchors suddenly became experts in “the science,” somehow privy to a knowledge that us plebeians born of the same educational system could never be.

Joy Reid was one of the worst offenders, repeating lines like, “Just weeks ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci rejected the conspiracy that coronavirus was man-made in a lab in Wuhan, China, and yet this week Donald Trump is still pushing the debunked bunkum [whatever that means] that the virus is not not not man-made.”

These news anchors worshiped Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Because apparently, only one man can know what the truth is. No one was allowed to listen to the scientists actively rejecting Fauci’s line that “everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [COVID] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”

But now it’s been confirmed by the U.S. Department of Energy (why it’s now their job to confirm this is a mystery to all of us) that he’s likely wrong.

And it turns out that — as many of us lesser than earthly beings already knew — he was a false prophet all along.
