Well whaddya know. As you may recall from the 100 million times it happened over and over, people who suggested that covid leaked from a lab were, for the last several years, shunned, abused, mocked, got censored or banned on social media, and even lost their livelihoods.
Only problem? They were right.
OOPSIE!!
From the Wall Street Journal:
The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress.
The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office.
The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.
The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research.
I cannot WAIT for the gloating and recriminations to come. But you can bet there will be little to zilcho apologiy or mea culpa by the MSM. That, like truth, just ain’t what they do.
