Just a follow-up on something in 2020/21 heavily and with rage discussed here: The origin of Covid. (Wuhan) Lab theory versus Zoonose (Wuhan animal market).

I recommend everyone remembering the enraged discussions in this forum to watch this video, the testimony of James Erdman III, Senior Operations Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency, before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs entitled “Whistleblower Testimony on the COVID Coverup.”.

YouTube: CIA whistleblower alleges federal cover-up of COVID-19 origins (C-SPAN)

It´s highly enlightening re commonly shared and distributed narratives and suppressed contrarian voices. Together with many more facts that came out the last years it's late justification for the ones then accused of spreading a conspiracy theory.

That happened to me here while arguing that a chain of facts point to the Lab theory: That in 2018 the EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology submitted to the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) a proposal to grant funding for "Gain-of-Function" research to insert a "Furin cleavage site" into bat coronaviruses --- which is exactly the anomaly of the Corona virus which makes it so dangerous, so highly infectious.

"Of course" that was dismissed here in those let´s say very "strong" discussions. Conspiracy theory nonsense, obviously, as it was contrary to what Fauci etc. were claiming to be "scientific consent". It was not. It was the consent of scientists carefully selected by Fauci, as James Erdman III is testifying.

Not everything that is mentally disturbing and is contrary to common narratives is a ridiculous "Conspiracy Theorie" of flat-eathers.

Even CrankyCharlie with all he wrote about Bill Gates which I laughed about seems to have had a point, far more than I did admit to myself, simply because it was uncomfortable to do so, shattering my black-and-white thinking (still thinking Gates was/is one of humankinds greatest benefactor, but ......).

There is no black-and-white.
