There was a time, not long ago, when if you said vaccinations do not stop people from getting COVID-19, that mask mandates were useless, that the U.S. funded coronavirus research in China, or that the disease came from from a Wuhan lab leak, you were branded a racist conspiracy theorist. One by one, these bullshit narratives have fallen and now even the federal government believes COVID-19 came from a Chinese lab.
From the beginning, China has lied about COVID-19 and the American liberal media has faithfully regurgitated their propaganda. According to the fake news, the virus came from the wet markets in Wuhan, China where people were eating infected bats. Much like all other CCP bullshit, this is now discredited and even the feds think so.
The NY Post reports:
The virus that causes COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese laboratory, according to a classified report based on new intelligence and recently sent to the White House and key members of Congress.
The stunning assertion by the US Energy Department comes more than a year after the FBI concluded a lab accident in China was the origin of the disease, which has killed more than 6.8 million people around the world, including 1.1 million in the US.
The FBI’s decision was made with “moderate confidence” and remains the bureau’s opinion, said The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the Energy Department’s own finding on Sunday.
By contrast, the Department of Energy made its determination with “low confidence,” sources who’ve read the classified report told the Journal.
But the judgment is considered important because the Energy Department — which oversees the American nuclear weapons program — runs a network of national labs and has a great deal of scientific expertise, the Journal said.
The only people shocked by this are the communist propaganda drones in the U.S. media who were paid to discredit the idea that China created and released this plague upon the world. There will be no apologies from the liberal media for being wrong, instead they will blame Trump, Republicans, and right-wing extremists for the lies they spread.
In fact, here’s CNN columnist Jill Filipovic doing just that:
The best explanation I can come up with is that Trump’s racist “China virus” bullshit, which resulted in lots of anti-Asian bigotry and attacks on Asian people, put liberals understandably on the defense against any theory that seemed to blame China for Covid.

And MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan:
The simple reason why so many people weren’t keen to discuss the ‘lab leak’ *theory* is because it was originally conflated by the right with ‘Chinese bio weapon’ conspiracies and continues to be conflated by the right with anti-Fauci conspiracies. Blame the conspiracy theorists. https://t.co/XnvbnCmBAA

You see, it’s not the liberal media’s fault for being wrong, but actually the people who were right all along forcing them into their lies. Trump was 100% correct in calling the press the “enemy of the people.” They do not serve the public’s interest, they are on the side of communists and fascists.
Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation until it wasn’t. January 6 was a deadly insurrection until it wasn’t. Lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccinations stopped the spread of COVID-19 until they didn’t. Now, COIVID-19 didn’t come from a lab leak until it did. I wonder when the shoe is going to drop on the results of the 2020 election.
