Let's start with fact checking the latest idiocy being pushed by unhinged Covid-deniers.
Widow of scientist who invented PCR test hits out at Covid denier conspiracists who claim he was murdered by Fauci

THE widow of the genius Nobel Prize-winning scientist who invented the PCR test has hit back at the “Covid loony resistance” for spreading wild conspiracy theories about him online.
Biochemist Kary Mullis came up with the polymerase chain reaction in 1983 but died from pneumonia in August 2019, months before it was rolled out across the world during the pandemic to diagnose Covid.
Since then several old video interviews have gone viral online where Mullis can be seen saying that the PCR “doesn’t tell you if you’re sick” and slamming Dr Anthony Fauci for his role in the AIDS crisis.
Conspiracy theorists have used the videos to claim the maverick man of science was murdered because he would supposedly have revealed that PCR tests produce fake Covid cases.
Some have gone to the extreme of suggesting that Fauci, 80, may have somehow orchestrated his scientific rival’s death to keep him quiet.
The Sun reached out to his grieving widow Nancy Mullis, who blasted the allegations as “annoying and egregious”.
Addressing the conspiracy theories for the first time, the former teacher, 74, said: “These Covid loonies have come out of the woodwork to tell me that Kary was probably killed to keep him from talking about Covid and that Fauci might be behind it.
“This is so ludicrous. I had to make my Facebook page private because of these kinds of people.
“What Kary said about Fauci and PCR being used to diagnose AIDS was 25 to 30 years ago.
“What people have done now is cobble together snippets of various videos but conveniently left out the AIDS part to make it seem that he’s talking about Covid.
“It’s terribly annoying since Kary died in August 2019 before Covid was even in the news.
“It’s completely egregious to me.
