The same people who claim that COVID is a lab-leaked bio-weapon are at the same time against vaccines, masks and other means of defending against it.

And simultaneously claim that COVID-19 is/was a hoax.
Yeah, that's the really fucking stupidest part of it all. The same gomers that said it was "just like the flu" and playing stupid games like saying people "died with Covid" not from Covid and being the most maximalist antiVA and antiMA Karens all while saying it was definitely a lab leak that Fauci masterminded.
I mean....what the actual fuck. These people have brain rot. Anything they thought put donvict's re-election at risk was something they fought against, so any reasonable response to Covid was something they hated, and still hate even now. I see this type still getting upset when they see a mask, still ranting about it online.
And seriouly, if donvict had probably done even the most basic and civil of things in response to Covid instead of his usual bullshit "art of the deal" shit he thinks is a great worldwide tactic....he would have been reelected most likely. But he couldn't even act like he had empathy even in the most obvious of scenarios to show empathy. It was all about donnie, donnie, donnie and "his" stock market and trying to play favorites between "blue" and "red" states when it came to life-saving equipment and so on.
I'm left leaning and was pro mask and vaccines, but I still believe covid started from a lab leak. Not with certainty, but I'd put the odds over 50/50.
Remember when over 1 million Americans died of COVID under Captain Horse Pastes' watch?
He's going to try to break that record this time around.
It was over 5 million by the end of 2020, actually
They might have meant excess deaths due to diaper donvict's constant bungling and conspiracy theory-mongering and his total bitchiness about people smarter than him, like Fauci.
Imagine fucking up an epidemic so badly that 5 years later you're still coming up with schemes to make it seem less disastrous
Say it was a lab leak, and that Fauci was responsible--who employed him? Who was funding the alleged "gain of function" research? Who was in charge at the time and how did they respond?
Did they take it seriously and try to stop the spread or did they lie about it constantly, pretending it didn't exist, wasn't a big deal?
I guess we'll never know.
I"m really tired of this xenophobic nonsense claim.
"Only the best people"
For FUCKS sake. These people are just every single worst person you ever had the displeasure of dealing with, summed up in one maladministration. The dumbest and most crass, mean, and hateful people, just out to troll all normal Americans.
