History Will Grind Out the Truth
Townhall.com ^ | November 13, 2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

"History will figure that out on its own." That is what Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) recently replied to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

In a heated congressional exchange, Fauci derided the idea that the COVID-19 pandemic was due to the leak of a dangerous virus, engineered in the Chinese Wuhan virology lab -- and in part funded by U.S. health agencies, on the prompt of Fauci himself.

Fauci offered arguments from authority by citing his own expertise, as well as that of "card-carrying" specialists.

But in truth, there is little evidence that any animal species has been found infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus or a close relative that causes COVID-19 or a similar illness.

Many federal health experts increasingly believe the virus was manmade. A number argue that it was likely a product of gain-of-function research that was funded in part by a U.S. government grant.

Others concede that Fauci and Dr. Peter Daszak--who was involved in gain-of-function research, often in cooperation with the Chinese--were not candid about the full extent of their ties to the Wuhan lab. But despite Chinese resistance to releasing pertinent data, history eventually will sort the truth out--as it does with most controversies of the moment.

Five years ago, the New York Times, the Washington Post, most of the mainstream media, and the majority of the bipartisan Washington, D.C., political and government establishments insisted that Donald Trump had colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election.

Unfortunately, the left likes to revise history. And, if they’re in charge, it will only get worse.

They have always been in charge, it is the way of this world. Evidence, look at all the leftists victories under Reagan and Trump. We get the breadcrumb victories that are not able to restore what we have willingly given up in confort and fear. Mass invasions from southern borders, bumpatock bans (worked, didn’t it), Covid lockdowns and vax or else.
You can’t say it is them. If we kneelbone time, we never rise again. It is done. Now we just survive, if possible.

Fauci is a bureaucrat. He has no particular ‘expertise’ to cite.

“ Or as the second-century A.D. skeptic philosopher Sextus Empricus noted, eventually the truth emerges and cosmic justice is rendered: “The millstones of the gods grind late, but they grind fine.”

Always too little too late for justice to be done.

I agree. They always seem to win. They never back down. They take more and more. Now it’s just at a faster pace. It’s all going to crash. Sadly, so many good men and women fought for this nation.
