Rand Paul was vindicated this week regarding COVID. Will Democrats and Big Tech ever apologize?

At the peak of the pandemic, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was censored by Big Tech. He was insulted, ridiculed, mocked, and scorned for many of his claims regarding COVID-19. Whether it was the efficacy of masks or the virus’s origins, the Left’s Big Tech henchmen did everything possible to suppress Paul’s voice because they disagreed with his assertions.
They were wrong, as we now know, and they owe Paul an apology.
The U.S. Energy Department and the FBI now agree that a lab leak is probably to blame for the spread of the COVID-19 virus, according to reports. The disclosure was made in “low confidence” earlier this week after the department received new intelligence on the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Energy Department oversees 17 national labs and research centers and was investigating the pandemic’s origins. Meanwhile, the Energy Department’s admission was just the latest in a recent string of evidence vindicating Paul. A new study released this month revealed that immunity from a natural COVID infection was “at least as high, if not higher” than receiving the vaccine. Paul said this last year but was dismissed by many on the Left as spreading misinformation.
“The science is against you on this. The science is clear,” Paul said at the time, citing an Israeli study that supported his claim. “Naturally acquired immunity is as good as a vaccine.”
Paul was heavily criticized by those on the Left for saying the same thing the Energy Department just now concluded. He was censored by Big Tech and vilified by Democratic politicians who claimed Paul’s now-vindicated assertions were detrimental to the country. But it was Big Tech and the Democrats who were harming the country, not the Kentucky Republican.
“Trust the science” evolved into “trust the tyrants,” and the Left sought total compliance to its authoritarianism during the pandemic. Anyone objecting, such as Paul, was vilified as an ignorant conspiracy theorist and, in some cases, accomplice to murder. What happened to Paul should serve as a warning of left-wing, Democratic totalitarianism and why they can never be trusted to regulate speech or information. Liberals, Democrats, the Left, and Big Tech all owe Rand Paul an apology. Will they ever do so?
