Gosh, it wasn’t a hoax? Color us SHOCKED.
Remember when Twitter was suspending people for DARING to even contemplate if COVID came from a Chinese lab? And people who actually did dare to were called xenophobic? Racists?
Good times.
Guess WE were right, all along.
Michael R. Gordon (@mgordonwsj) ~ The Energy Department now says Covid pandemic most likely arose from a Chinese lab leak, according to a classified intelligence report. With @wstrobel

SHOCKED. WE FEEL SHOCKED.
HA HA HA HA HA!
Comfortably Smug put together a fairly epic thread calling everyone OUT who shamed ANYONE who dared even imply COVID came from a Chinese lab.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ Time to once again shame everyone who lied and tried to shut this discussion down!
A thread:
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ WaPo: “Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked”
“Sen. Cotton (R-Ark.) repeated a fringe theory suggesting ongoing spread of a coronavirus is connected to research in the disease-ravaged epicenter of Wuhan”
http://washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/16/tom-cotton-coronavirus-conspiracy/
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ In a now-retracted fact-check, Politifact gave a Tucker Carlson guest a “Pants on Fire” for the “debunked conspiracy theory” that COVID came from a lab.
http://politifact.com/li-meng-yan-fact-check/
Good ol’ Politifact.
Rarely getting anything right.
That's because Politi"fact" is pure leftist propaganda.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ Media Matters: Influential podcast host Joe Rogan spread an unfounded claim that COVID-19 “comes out of a lab in Wuhan.”
Still no correction on this piece, of course!

Media DOESN’T Matter apparently.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ Facebook banned any mentions of the lab leak, following “consultations with leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization.”
http://theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/27/facebook-lifts-ban-on-posts-claiming-covid-19-was-man-made
Can’t wait for the #FauciFiles to finally drop.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ NYT reporter: The lab leak theory has “racist roots.”
This was AFTER the WSJ reported that Wuhan researchers were hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms in fall 2019.
http://nationalreview.com/news/new-york-times-covid-reporter-calls-discussion-of-lab-leak-theory-racist/
Racist roots.
Holy cow.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ After Trump and Pompeo floated the lab leak theory:
CNN’s Don Lemon: “How far off are the president's claims compared to what your sources are telling you?”
CNN senior reporter Alexander Marquardt: “Well, Don, they're pretty much the exact opposite.”
http://cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/2005/04/cnnt.01.html
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ MSNBC Nicolle Wallace: “Donald Trump [is] turning his intelligence community to now investigate a conspiracy theory about COVID coming from a lab in Wuhan.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiflpK01mJU&t=694s
We’d only be surprised if Nicole Wallace didn’t get something wrong.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ The editor-in-chief of Scientific American.
We remember her.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ Amazingly, this tweet from Vox is still up.
Amazingly.
Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) ~ Always remember how the media and social media companies conspired to cover up the truth about how China killed MILLIONS of people around the globe.
For no other reason than it was conservatives telling the truth.
For no other reason that it got in the way of them vilifying a Republican president and the people who supported him.
