Trump Proven Right AGAIN! Now The Media Is Scrambling Over COVID ‘Conspiracy Theory’
The media and “fact-checkers” are scrambling to get on the right side of history.
It was all indicative of the deep states attack on the Trump administration that we saw play out probably hundreds of times. President Trump would be briefed about an important issue, he’d make a statement, then an “anonymous source” would speak to the press and counter what Trump said. That tactic was used to discredit the president at every turn and even when the country was in the midst of a pandemic it didn’t stop progressives hell bent on destroying Trump.
When President Trump announced intelligence that the coronavirus may have been accidentally leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology he was mocked. Fact-checkers and journalists contacted their “sources” inside the government who countered the Trump administration to may him look like a fool. Anyone no matter what their qualifications were who even entertained the idea that COVID originated from the Wuhan lab was mocked, banned on social media, and run out of social circles.
There were a few, experts that didn’t care about partisan politics who spoke out however, most stayed quiet for fear of banishment from academic and social circles.
There was one mainstream media reporter, Josh Rogan who writes for the Washington Post (and other publications) that got it right. Rogan wrote an entire book about it, speaking with experts, Trump officials, Biden officials (once he took office), and foreign intelligence officials. Most experts in the virology field told him they weren’t comfortable speaking out until Trump was gone but there is little doubt in some of there minds COVID-19 came from a lab.
Even the Biden administration confirmed much of the intelligence Trump’s state department collected however, won’t take a position on it at this time.
As Republicans and virologist push for a serious investigation into the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis mainstream media journalists and fact checkers are scrambling to rewrite history.
But, even liberals like Josh Rogan are not letting them off the hook.
Below is statement from Politi-fact who claim to be the news fact checkers of the internet. In an article they used to counter Fox News Tucker Carlson in September 2020 they added an editors note on May 17th, that the Wuhan Lab theory is now a strong possibility.
I never want to hear about Politifact. Ever. Never. Ever. I’m going to use these two screencaps if anyone ever cites that source. pic.twitter.com/5EPgpxEgiW

Rogan, also isn’t letting his fellow journalists off the hook and calls them out for being duped by the deep state.
I think a lot of science writers are racing to think “How can i position myself” and “How can I seem reasonable while changing my position” and “Aren’t I great for eventually being objective after failing for a year.” It’s transparent and besides the point.

And then to say “oh well I guess we’ll never know” is an awful copout. If you are willing to admit the lab leak theory is plausible, you MUST call for a full investigation NOW, including our labs who have crucial information. In any sane world, that would already be underway.
