Ryan Grim: "I guess people are over this but Fauci should still be prosecuted for this deception. In his diary in January 2020, he says that the wet market was a super spreader but not the origin — yet publicly he claimed exactly the opposite. 

Tens of millions died and world history was upended. And not a single lesson learned except some wrong ones."
