I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I always found it it little odd that the guy who became the de facto pandemic era “leader” in the U.S. was also the same guy that personally approved funding for the lab in Wuhan.

You think it’s weird that one of the top virologists in the world was responsible for finding virus research and for planning virus outbreak response?

How is "top" virologist measured? If it's simply by years of power, this is accurate I suppose. However I think "most powerful" is a better term than "top".

The state religion reveres experts, who are by definition the people with conflicts of interest. It's normal.
