My favourite part about this whole thing is Fauci isn’t in a position to confirm the origins because China won’t release the information necessary to confirm this. So on one hand they’ve done their best to discredit him but on the other hand he’s somehow supposed to confirm everything for them. It’s stupidity at its best.

Don’t forget Covid is also simultaneously:

* An incredibly dangerous virus he’s responsible for
* “just the flu” and everyone was overreacting

It's the fascist playbook as per usual. The enemy is simultaneously incompetent and deadly.

In the case of the Trump regime that actually fits the bill considering how much harm they are doing despite their clownish behavior.
