The U.S. Dept. Of Energy joined the FBI in concluding -- although with "low confidence" -- that COVID originated from an accidental lab leak in Wuhan, China. Gee, a lot of us said that when the pandemic broke out, but were accused of being far-right conspiracy theorists! We were cancelled, banned from social media, and called names. If you didn't 100% agree with mask mandates, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, etc., you were anti-science! Who has the last laugh now? And what should happen to those who forced mandates on us?
