It's not on the Fox Homepage today.  It's still all about Biden bowing down to Dems in the SCOTUS nomination, crime, the border, criticism of VP Harris...the usual.  Even they've moved on from this huge revelation.

Yeah. 

It was such a huge revelation and scandal that it was even a waste of Beerman's own time to comment on his own thoughts and ideas on the topic he brought up. Why was that video the important piece and what was in the video that was so compelling for Beerman? 

Its almost like that content had no real value beyond what it accomplished....manipulation of the emotions of the targeted audience. 

On this day in 1945 Nazi camp at Auschwitz was liberated.  Hitler mesmerized the German people with lies and propaganda until they willingly sacrificed their democracy and humanity to satisfy his ego and ambition.  They learned that following the musings of a narcissistic psychopath generally doesn't start with death and destruction but death and destruction will surely follow in one form or another when fascists are elevated into power.

Today we can't even agree on what fascism means or describes, much less correctly identify the signs and symptoms of the ideology or take appropriate steps to shut it down.  Heck, a quarter of our population believes that those opposed to fascism (antifa) are the enemies of our republic.

In June of 2021 Fauci said "Fauci tells CNN he still believes “the most likely origin is from an animal species to a human but I keep an absolutely open mind that there may be other origins,” adding, “It could have been a lab leak.”

Maybe when the "theory", and Fox News is still reporting it as a theory was initially tossed about it might have been made public at that time.  But for whatever scientific reasons Fauci went with the idea that it was a virus like all other coronaviruses and had natural causes.  

I'm not necessarily seeing any huge relavations here but I suppose it worth continuing to look into.

Fauci was warned in Jan 2020 that the the virus may have leaked from lab.  Also told in January that NIH was funding coronavirus research in the Wuhan lab through a company called EcoHealth.

End of January, a expert tells him the virus looks engineered.  Fauci calls for a conference call that day of 12 top viralogists from across the world.

Also the same day, Fauci's deputy confirms that the study being done in Wuhan did not go through proper biosafety and oversight review.

In the conference call, several of the experts expressed it's more likely the virus came from the lab, not nature.  

Despite differing opinions, Fauci's boss, Dr Collins says he's "coming around" that the virus originated in nature.

There is a consensus that any papers written do not mention the possibility of a lab origin, as it would fuel conspiracy theories and "damage science".

It's also important to remember NIH funds research all over the world.

Within a week of that conference call, several of the experts send out preliminary findings to Fauci and Collins to review.  They do not mention the lab origination  theory.

An official report eventually goes out .  It's findings?  The virus originated in nature.

Two of the experts who originally said it was unlikely the virus came from nature and then changed their minds in a matter of days, later in 2020 received multi million dollar grants from NIH.  EcoHealth also received a 3.5 million dollars grant.

Nothing to see here, huh?

Seems like a lot if these things came out already in his emails last Summer.  In the meantime as new things come out it's up to congress to continue to investigate.   He has enough enemies in congress that he should not get away with wrong doings.   There us something to see.  but is this the smoking gun?

None of that represents a new or huge revelation, only a rehashing of the same information, from a different voice, inferring something that isn't proven.

One of the most uplifting and moving stories of the Holocaust, told by 96 yo Lily, a Covid survivor and her 18yo great grandson using Tik-Tok --which morphed into a book they co-wrote. So glad the View featured this story today.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the co-authors of "Lily's Promise" join "The View" to share why they decided to tell Ebert's journey from horror to hope on TikTok.

That was a good segment although sine of the questions were ...odd. I didn't really watch any television today and I wonder how other programs might have educated and informed their audiences today.  There is a surprising amount of ignorance about the Holocaust in this country.
