Dr. Double Mask: White House Exposes Fauci and the COVID Lab Leak Theory

Where do you go if all of your once considered conspiracy theories are now true? Honestly? We were made fun of, ostracized, and belittled by the corporate media for so much as questioning their eternal wisdom. The origin of COVID and the lab leak. Hunter Biden’s laptop. Russia collusion. President Biden’s health. All of it. They went after Trump with relentless lawfare to the point he had two assassination attempts on his life. By God’s grace we are all still standing, stronger than ever, with 47 exploding all of these lies.

The White House, on Friday, released a paper titled: "Lab Leak, The True Origins of Covid." They highlight important sections, one being “Proximal Origin,” stating: “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated in nature.” As my RedState colleague, Susie Moore pointed out, we were all surprised by this expose from the White House.

🚨 SEE IT! If you go to "https://t.co/Nixb022Hvy," it sends you to a page breaking down the WUHAN LAB LEAK origin of COVID-19.

All the documents, all the receipts. It even highlights how Biden pardoned Fauci, and debunks things like "6 feet social distancing" and mask-wearing. pic.twitter.com/3lGtlq6BKa

The site contains a bulleted list noting five key points:
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.

The administration covers a few other important topics related to COVID, including: Gain-of-Function, Ecohealth Alliance, NIH failures, HHS obstruction, and failures by then-New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo.

When it comes to COVID policy, no one was more detrimental to our society and way of life, in my opinion, than Anthony Fauci. Certainly, no one has been more hypocritical in their beliefs. During the Obama administration, Fauci was asked in an email by former HHS Secretary, Sylvia Burwell, if she should wear a face mask while traveling. His response:

“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you. I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location."

But wait a second, didn’t Fauci support double masking at one point during the COVID outbreak? Why would he tell Secretary Burwell years earlier that they’re essentially worthless? CNBC in 2021 had a story outlining the insane change in masking from Fauci:

“So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective, Fauci told TODAY. “That’s the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.”

What? Two masks are better than one? Again, if that were true, why didn’t he tell that to Burwell years prior? Did he purchase stock in a masking company before the change to double masking? Of course, now we know that face covers have little to no impact on the spreading of disease. Specifically, cloth masks and when you wear the same mask twice.

Despite His Best Efforts to Portray Himself as One, Fauci Is No Victim

The White House paper does take aim at masks and the mask mandates that followed:

“There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19. Public health officials flipped-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data — causing a massive uptick in public distrust.”

Fauci and many others, like Governor Cuomo, have never been held accountable for their lies and deceit. The good news? President Trump is on a mission. If you have been branded as a conspiracy theorist, redemption has come. We will not forget what they took from us. Moms were forced to fight sickness alone in hospitals while daughters stood on the other side of the glass, just to say hello—or in many cases, goodbye. The forced masking of our children in schools, which has had a major impact on speech development.

The White House taking this action and bringing accountability is exactly what we voted for. Today is a great day for conservatives regarding COVID origins, but I know this will not be the end when it comes to President Trump’s effort to get to the truth and I believe a reckoning is still to come for those responsible.
