4chan figured this out as early as March 2020: google "site:4plebs.org shi zhengli"

Nearly made the same comment myself. It feels vindicating to watch all this unfold. How many times now has 4chan been right about the virus, and the media wrong?

- 4chan saw the pandemic coming in January 2020, and predicted it would be big

- 4chan knew it wasn't 'just another flu' in March 2020, when the media was downplaying it

- 4chan figured out the virus is transmitted via areosol, not just particulate

- 4chan worked out that Vitamin D can help (even Fauci admitted he takes it)

- Wuhan Lab hypothesis

That's just off the top of my head. Sure, 4chan got a lot wrong: but better to get all the (possible) facts, and sift through them. That's science. What are you going to do otherwise? Trust Fauci?

The media showed enormous deference to the Trump administration that insisted it was not going to be big, that is was just another flu, that it wasn't transmitted via aerosol, and that it would be gone soon.

4chan isn't know for enormous deference to anyone, so the fact that "they" (collectivizing 4chan always irriates me, but whatever) got things right given the head-in-sand public attitude (*) of the administration isn't really surprising.

(*) Trump of course privately told Woodward that it was really bad.
