The MAGA/QANON crowd are convinced that Fauci conspired along with Joe Biden & the Chinese to spread the COVID virus. They believe that they were each paid billions of dollars to help China. I’m not making this up, people I know that went MAGA told me it’s a truth I don’t know because I’m ignorant.
