After a year of Trust The Experts, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act we will all now get to watch The Fall of St. Fauci. Like most government officials who lied to the public and covered for their friends, I'm sure he will suffer grave consequences for his actions, like a quiet retirement to spend time with his family, followed by an absurdly large advance on a book deal (even though everyone knows that huge advance will never earn out).
I'm positive all the people who screamed about how the Science Deniers Want To Kill Grandma will be quick to admit their mistakes and apologize to all the people they browbeat and shamed on social media.
And all the I Fucking Love Science crowd will feel bad for yelling at people that the idea a virus that just happened to spring into existence in the same place that had a giant virus lab working on that specific type of virus, might have come from said laboratory, was an insane conspiracy theory.
Also, I'm certain that Facebook will feel super bad about all those fact checks they put on people who were actually correct all along, and in the future they'll do a better job not crushing everything that dissents from current left wing narrative, even when it later turns out that narrative was incorrect. Sort of like how they learned from their mistakes about Hunter's laptop.
But the important thing is that we continue to trust the experts, even when the experts have been consistently wrong about quite literally everything. Sure, we destroyed our economy, made people suffer for no reason, and prolonged the whole giant mess, but the important thing is that we still continue to trust the people who never suffer any consequences for getting it wrong.
