My country did the same thing to me. :-/
Are you talking about Trump and conservatives here?

Imagine you have most expensive disease in human history by economy standpoint and after 6 years we have just claims of where it came from. Isn't that suspicious enough?

There was no worldwide lockdowns because of HIV or Spanish Flu.
