Still not a light bulb moment

August 7, 2026

Once again it’s full credit to Pearls and Irritations for publishing a controversial take on a contentious subject. After a full Presidential pardon, Tony Fauci still felt it prudent to shelter behind the fifth amendment when questioned about the origins of Covid19. Why? What was/is gain-of-function and how does it relate to Covid19? What went on, and for all we know is still going on, at the bio-labs we keep hearing about, those located in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and elsewhere? What about Wuhan, and why is it that it’s always the Chinese bats that seem to have so many ways to kill us all?

For me, there are three unanswered questions that punctuate my adult life. Was there a second shooter in Dallas? Why did Building 7 collapse into its own footprint? Where did Covid19 come from? And I have to admit that I hold out very little hope of ever being given a light bulb answer to any of the three.
