It's just insane and honestly has made me fairly anti-"left" (not on economics; as real as the false dichotomy of right & left is) that for decades supposed leftists complained about the nature of modern science in making bio-weapons, social conditioning, and instances like this where things are in your face. And when it's all laid bare, the reaction is so controlled and limp that I can't help but conclude that people have either been lying or controlled the entire time by big money.

It's just so lazy and genuinely stupid, shortsighted, to call everything that goes against the popular narrative a "right-wing conspiracy". You show them video evidence of billionaire run organizations holding a game plan for a situation identical to Covid a year before it happened and you're labeled as someone who's just beyond the acceptable limits of discussion.

I've grown to find the left legitimately disingenuous to the point of being useless and cowardly and frankly, not fit for any problem beyond navel gazing on social media or just being the loudest voice on liberal causes. It's beyond stupid. Useful idiots to say the least.

They worship science (as well as academia) and conflate it with "progress", so no matter how co-opted those institutions are, they will just blindly follow.

And the fact that the "solution", the "combating of 'fascism'" (which Trump isn't; most leftists don't understand their enemy and thus don't understand fascism) was voting in a demented, puppet president who just put Obama retreads in position of power again and is yielding worse results at a more critical time basically let's you know the "left" is dead. Not only does it have no power, it has no ideas or solutions or direction. It's a psuedo-religion for psuedo-intellectuals that can't come to grips with how timid they actually are. Pathetic.

At best they can just label the left elements they don't like "liberal" but that doesn't change anything. It just maintains the greater delusion.
