Original Note:
This is a joke about Anthony Fauci contracting Covid. Shouldn’t need a note, but here we are. The joke references a theory that gain of function research causes the outbreak, and the contested belief that Fauci, among other world scientists propagated this research. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/10/29/repeated-claim-that-fauci-lied-congress-about-gain-of-function-research/
