Fauci, China and Obama had a two year plan to bring down the economy.

Oh ... someone said something about something vague that could happen in the future that everyone knows will happen You found yourself a real Nostradamus there didn’t you? Clowns.

Lol... ok.

Wow I’m telling you there will be an outbreak in three years wanna bet I’m right stop the bullshit

Ohh, please.

Submarine_Guy Since you’re going to play fact checker, now do Trump & all of his lies.....

Yes I believe many people have warn everyone of an outbreak since back in the 90s

So do hunches count now!

Such warnings have been ongoing for generations.

Scientists generally have been warning about viruses because they see what people are doing. Animal to Human is a huge issue that will only get worse.

Stop that, 'doctors' working with alien DNA are better suited to tell the truth to American citizen about pandemics and health.

The intelligence community warns on that every year, for many years.

This is fucking stupid. George W. Bush warned about a pandemic such as this. Why did Fauci say at the beginning he didn’t think COVID was a big deal? Get the fuck off your knees and have some integrity in your reporting.

Fauci stayed in the EJM that Cv19 was no worse than a cold.

Hahaha Okay thanks..
