Either I didn't understand this statement or others on this board didn't. I take this to mean that you are at least acknowledging that we are going to uncover how politicians and Big Pharma leveraged this "crisis" to gain more power and money. Kind of like this:

That is what I meant. There are huge legitimate and altruistic efforts to contain and understand this virus with science and well-intentioned policy, and it's not my aim to dismiss it. Medical and pharmaceutical research along with accelerated manufacturing efforts have proven to be hugely beneficial to the American public and the world. But any time the government pours its resources into an abrupt and mammoth effort, there are always those who are looking to benefit. Historians will most certainly ascertain politicians, bureaucrats, and industry were working hand in hand to push some questionable policies and influence research for maximum payout. This should be of no surprise. The military industrial complex has been doing it for decades. 

I can't help but believe that some of the senseless policy we see today, much of it driven by Howdy Doody Fauci, is not arrived at purely for the public good. A multi trillion-dollar tsunami washed over the earth in the last 36 months, it is an absolute given that corruption is a featured component.
