During his weekly press conference, Senator Bill Cassidy addressed comments from the FBI and federal Energy Department saying COVID-19 most likely got out of a viral research lab in Wuhan, China. Cassidy reminds us that former President Trump and others were scorned and ridiculed for suggesting as much during the pandemic…
“…and it raises a larger point: why this theory was dismissed, and – if you will – laughed at as a conspiracy theory for so long.”

Cassidy says health and government officials told us many things about COVID that have since proven to be inaccurate, or even untrue…
“We now know that mask mandates did not work. We know that someone who has been previously infected has some level of natural immunity. If you will, a natural immunity.”
Cassidy says a great deal of misinformation about the coronavirus has come from official sources, who may been trying to deceive or were simply wrong…
“It’s time for the government to be up front with Americans about what is known, as opposed to being so loyal to a tribe that they will attempt to silence any new information. The American people can see through that. Let’s share with the American people everything we know.”
