It was May 5, 2020 and CNN’s Chris Cillizza was in an exuberant mood. Why? Because he was certain that Dr. Anthony Fauci had put President Donald Trump in his place for daring to suggest that the origin of COVID-19 could have been from a leak at the Wuhan lab. Cillizza’s triumphant attitude was reflected in the title of his story, “Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump’s theory on the origins of the coronavirus.”
For weeks now, President Donald Trump has been making the case that the coronavirus originated not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China. He said late last week that he had a “high degree of confidence” that was what happened (although he didn’t specify why he felt that way) and on Sunday night in a Fox town hall offered cryptically “something happened.”
Enter Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and perhaps the single most prominent doctor in the world at the moment. In an interview with National Geographic posted on Monday night, Fauci was definitive about the origins of the virus which has sickened more than a million Americans and killed more than 68,000:
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”
Now, before we play the game of “he said, he said” remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it’s not Donald Trump.
In short, Fauci’s view on the origins of the disease matters a whole lot more than Trump’s opinion about where it came from. Especially because, outside of Trump and his immediate inner circle, most people in a position to know are very, very skeptical of the Trump narrative that the virus came out of a lab — whether accidentally or on purpose.
This kind of appeal to authority — trust the Scientists, not the real estate mogul — was constant in 2020. Every suspicion of China was considered “unscientific.”
Flash forward a year to Monday, and how crestfallen was Cillizza that Fauci — who “crushed” Trump in 2021 — is now “hedging” in 2021. Uncertainty crept in: “Why is Anthony Fauci hedging on the origins of the coronavirus?”
Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted earlier this month that he is no longer convinced that the Covid-19 pandemic originated naturally.
And here is Cillizza’s conclusion which he wrote with no sense of irony:
Here’s the point: The origins of the virus remain not fully known. Tracing that is, at root, a medical and public health question — not a political one.
Not a political question like the way you, and much of the mainstream media, mocked the “debunked” Wuhan lab leak theory for political reasons because it was suggested by Trump?

80% of C-19 CASES are UNDER 65 years old.
80% of C-19 DEATHS are OVER 65 years old.
30% of C-19 deaths were over 85 years old, only 2% of the population.
30% of C-19 deaths were in nursing homes, hospice or residence.
During the 2020/2021 scam-demic there were 568,053 Covid-19 “involved” deaths.
There were 3,916,033 deaths from other causes!!!!!
C-19 was 12.7% of ALL the 4,484,086 deaths from all causes.
Rather sorry excuse for a wide-spread, highly contagious, lethal scam-demic
Per CDC data tables.
Mother Nature and her buddy Grim Reaper were simply using C-19 to cull the herd of the too many, too old, too sick, too crammed together in contagious badly run (BLUE) eldercare facilities.
The US, Brazil, India, Mexico and the UK are accountable for HALF of the global C-19 deaths.
Including the next five: Italy, Russia, France, Germany and Spain and these top ten are accountable for 65% of the global C-19 deaths.
That takes some kind of special talent – or crappy health care.
Japan has counted a mere 11,064 C-19 deaths. What do they know the rest of the world does not?
WHO data
The lying, fact free, fake news MSM left wing coup de’tat propaganda machine rebranded an otherwise ordinary flu into a pseudo-pandemic to stampede the sheeple into deposing Trump.
Seeing the results of this SCAM-demic think how easy it would be to line everyone up at cattle cars for one-way trips to xyklon showers.
The US press is the poster child for why despots toss shit-stirring “journalists” out of helicopters into the Atlantic.
