I, and many other critical thinkers on AN who were openly disparaged, were saying in the face of the Covid hysteria, that given time the facts would eventually come to light and the Covid narrative of Fauci et.al. would collapse and be proven to be fabricated.  Now we are here even though some publications still promulgate the 2020 "killer Covid" narrative and will still paint eminent scientists such as Dr Bhattacharya as everything under the sun except a scientist. True science took a major blow between 2020 and 2024 as pseudoscience bordering on religious fanaticism replaced the scientific method of open discussion and debate of opposing views among peers: any view other than the proper Covid Narrative was quite literally censored and banned during that time. 
I expect with the ascension of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to the position of the head of the NIH, that within two years the majority of the facts regarding the so-called Covid pandemic will be on the table and in the purview of main-stream science and main-stream media, as will the actual safety and efficacy of the mRNA and adenoviral vector shots.  It's probably a good thing that Fauci received his preemptive pardon from Joe Biden because he and others are about to be slid under a microscope and dissected to ascertain their roles in creating the "one and only one excepted narrative regarding Covid" during the pandemic years.  

The COVID-Era Smearing – and Resurrection – of Trump NIH Appointee Dr. Jay Bhattacharya
"Jay Bhattacharya was in pretty terrible shape five years ago. He was losing sleep and weight, not because of the COVID-19 virus but in response to the efforts of his colleagues at Stanford University and the larger medical community to shut down his research, which questioned much of the government’s response to the pandemic. 

Some of his Stanford colleagues leaked false and damaging information to reporters. The university’s head of medicine ordered him to stop speaking to the press. Top leaders at the National Institutes of Health, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, dialed up the attacks, dismissing him and his colleagues as what Collins termed “fringe epidemiologists” while their acolytes threw mud from a slew of publications, including the Washington Post, The Nation, and the prestigious medical journal BMJ.

In the years since, many of Bhattacharya’s scientific concerns about the efficacy of lockdowns and mask mandates have been corroborated. Fauci, meanwhile, accepted a pardon from President Biden, protecting him from COVID-related offenses dating back to 2014, the year he started funding research at a Wuhan, China, lab that U.S. intelligence agencies now believe probably started the pandemic. And this week, Bhattacharya looks set to achieve surprising vindication as the Senate holds a hearing on his nomination to head the NIH, in a Department of Health and Human Services run by science nonconformist Robert F. Kennedy Jr."
