Adding on: The Gen X equivalent to "the world may never know" is "the truth is out there" from the X Files -- a show which presented 'truth' as knowable but ultimately elusive and fuzzy.

I understand that the truth - or full truth - about the COVID event may never be known in my lifetime or by the populace writ large.

But no one is hiding anything from God (Luke 8:17; Hebrews 4:13) and 'we'll never know' is a form of gaslighting that can discourage people from questioning government/establishment narratives.

nearly incomprehensible that no one, but a few, want answers to what has become so readily apparent. i think the problem

is the deep seeded defensive medical worldview deeply ingrained in us…i count maybe two people who would even be interested in being shown this. not even to humor me. most think “it”s over, “move on” “who cares?” okay, sure thing. carry on. in any event, thanks to your tenacity, i’m convinced of what happened, and it ani’t no “lab leak.”

I'm not super surprised the public has moved on - that's what the public does.

I continue to be very concerned about the manner in which people who ARE focused on the study of the COVID event, or advocacy related thereto, avoid or don't want to confront very basic questions and issues regarding what occurred.

As much of an improvement as Dr Bhattacharya will certainly be over his predecessors, I continue to find it puzzling and disappointing that he was not seriously questioned at all about this matter, nor has he shown any interest or willingness to meaningfully engaged on it. For someone who “encourages dissenting perspectives” and who at his confirmation hearing, “expressed strong support for funding researchers with unconventional ideas”; someone who unequivocally stated “I want to make sure that people with different points of view about scientific hypotheses have support.” I find his unwillingness to engage on this matter disappointingly hypocritical. I hold out hope he will do better. I could not have said the same about his predecessor. We’ll see.

I find it all very disappointing but there is always hope.

The questions I'm asking aren't even scientific, and I'm not sure anyone should be looking to (most) scientists and doctors regarding "what happened" in 2020.

Did the NYC and Bergamo death events happen as presented by official ACM data for daily deaths? No science needed! :)

Well put once again. They certainly work triple overtime to keep the op going from many directions. Thanks for parsing this carefully.

Sure thing. "The Op is still live," as some have said.
