Ya think it's easy?

“Nothing rewarding ever happens in a veterinary clinic. That’s where I’d go looking for super-villains. No one with a rectal thermometer should be trusted in polite society.”

We now know that Dr. Anthony Fauci is every bit the Marvel Comics super-villain he has seemed to be all along. He deliberately engineered the virus – his behest and funding, not his actual effort – and it remains to be disclosed if last year’s events were actually biowarfare-by-proxy. Just to get Trump? Something even worse?

I have so many questions.

Given one super-villain, previously thought to be purely fictional, that means there can’t possibly be any others, right?

And Fauci’s cheery sociopathy definitely means that all other “conspiracy theories” are false, right?

I, for one, have never found it hard to believe that the Ruling Class is a mutually-blackmailing sex-crimes cult, so I find it reassuring to know that an evil until yesterday thought impossible can have only one locus: Dr. Anthony Fauci and absolutely, positively no one else.

Yes, he can smile and smile and yet be a villain. But that’s just because he is definitely and for sure the only person like that in America. Surely you can trust the science on that…
