Subject: COVID truth dribbling out, finally
Dr. Francis Collins, who headed a lot of the nation's responses, has been talking to Congress. Here are some excerpts:

The nation’s top public health official during the Covid-19 pandemic admitted that the origins of the coronavirus remain up for debate, the lab-leak theory is not a conspiracy, and there was no scientific evidence to support the government’s social-distancing guidance.
Collins used to head the NIH. Some of what he said:
“Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-foot distance?” a staffer asked Collins about the Centers for Disease Control’s social distancing guidance during the pandemic.
“I do not,” Collins said.
“Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet?” the staffer replied.
“I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point,” Collins said, according to the transcript, adding that he has not seen evidence since then to support the CDC’s six-feet guidance.
In other words, a lot of the guidance was seat-of-the-pants flying.
