      Dr. Fauci admits he is not confident COVID 'developed naturally,' calls for investigation into China

      Dr. Anthony Fauci is now calling for more investigation into China to uncover the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, a dramatic reversal from his earlier position in which he dismissed theories that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
      In a recent interview that received little attention, Fauci was asked by PolitiFact editor Katie Sanders whether he is "still confident that [COVID-19] developed naturally?"
      Shockingly, Fauci said he doubts the natural emergence of COVID-19.
      "No, actually," Fauci said. "No, I'm not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened."
      "Certainly, the people who've investigated it say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could've been something else, and we need to find that out," he continued. "So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus."
      Fauci's admission came while rebuking Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), whom Fauci accused of "conflating" collaborative research with Chinese scientists on SARS viruses with the emergence of COVID-19.

      So why did it take this long for the liar to come forward with this? Complicity that's why!


      Paul grilled Fauci during a Senate hearing earlier this month on the National Institutes of Health funding some research at the Wuhan virology lab.


      The theory that COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either accidentally or intentionally, has been dismissed by the media and many health experts as a conspiracy theory untethered from reality.
      Fauci himself denounced the possibility in an interview with National Geographicconcluded in February after a rushed investigation that it was "extremely unlikely" COVID-19 came from the laboratory.
      However, the possibility that COVID-19 escaped from the lab is receiving renewed attention after 18 high-profile scientists published a letter calling for more investigation into the possibility.
      "Theories of accidental release from a lab and zoonotic spillover both remain viable," the scientists wrote.
      In fact, they highlighted the fact that the WHO, in concluding the pandemic did not originate from the Wuhan lab, did not give the theory "balanced consideration," explaining, "Only 4 of the 313 pages of the report and its annexes addressed the possibility of a laboratory accident."
      Meanwhile, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a report last week revealing there is "significant circumstantial evidence" suggesting COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab.
      Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky agreed last week the lab leak theory remains a "possibility" of the pandemic's origin.




      Phil you beat me to it. But here are a few supporting articles.

        50 million quarantined.
        2,835 infected so far.
        81 dead and counting.
        Even with the "quarantine", almost 5 million people decided to leave Wuhan.
        Can be contagious even before exhibiting symptoms.



        5 cases reported in the U.S.
        Infections have also been confirmed in; France, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan and Canada.
        WHO CARES?

Some even have to still go in to their school and clock in and out each school day, set up their own computer on their desk in their class room and conduct online teaching from there. Many having to purchase a laptop so that they can take it home each night to prevent theft. And if the school does not have internet available in the classrooms, they have to setup a mobile hotspot, USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering on their mobile device, and pay for any extra data usage.


            Is it the teachers or the unions that don't want teachers to go back to work?





            CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters in February that the vaccine was not a requirement for getting teachers back in the classroom.


            "There is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen and that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated," Walensky said during a news briefing. "Vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for the safe reopening of schools."


            BIDEN'S NEW TARGET FOR REOPENED SCHOOLS IS BEHIND WHERE US IS NOW, DATA SHOW








            She also defined "open" as hosting at least one day of in-person learning.

                  Since even the extra unemployment insurance is quite small, this is an indication that wages are too low. Maybe employers should look at increasing wages.

                        An additional $300.00 a week is not that small. For someone working a 40 hour work week that is $7.50 an hour or for a part-time worker, which most unskilled and unqualified workers are it would be equal to the new minimum wage of $15.00 an hour for 20 hours.

                        In addition if you take that amount over a 52 week year and divide it by 12 months it works out to being $1300.00 a month, which is about what a lot of senior citizens receive a month from Social Security.

                          Drug Overdoses Killed 2x More People in San Francisco than COVID-19





                          The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday:











                          Fentanyl, often manufactured in China, often enters the U.S. illegally through the southern border, where the Biden administration has relaxed law enforcement.


                          Nonetheless, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said earlier this month that the amount of fentanyl caught at the border had risen 800% in the past year.


                          In January, President Joe Biden rescinded an executive order signed by President Donald Trump to allow almost all doctors to prescribe buprenorphine, a treatment for opioid addiction.

                            ... America's opioid and drug problems never went away because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some progress was made forcing one of the worst oxycontin offenders, Purdue Pharma, out of business.

                            ... the last statement is misleading.

                            "In January, President Joe Biden rescinded an executive order signed by President Donald Trump to allow almost all doctors to prescribe buprenorphine, a treatment for opioid addiction."

                            The Biden administration will allow nearly all providers to prescribe buprenorphine



                            Biden administration will let nearly all providers to prescribe buprenorphine
