I've also linked to an article that dismisses the study in question, and links to it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidnikel/2020/06/07/controversial-coronavirus-lab-origin-claims-dismissed-by-experts/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidnikel/2020/06/07/controver... But why would it be deleted? I guess because it has already been on here? Maybe multiple times? But wouldn't people just link to previous discussion(s)?

Posted 3 hours ago) & yours (21 points, 14 comments, Flagged) I don't have a stance on the topic (that I want to discuss or is relevant here) but I nearly skipped it since it seemed a bit Off Topic in regards to the submission guidelines and possibly a bit 'hot button-ish' but was intrigued enough to take a look and comment after seeing a 21 point submission being Flagged. Hope that helps [Edit to add - I didn't downvote or flag any of these but up till now had not read any of the links nor comments]

  Thanks, I hadn't seen those. I did a search, but I guess flagged submissions don't show up. It might be handy to have a link to see the flagged ones. If that was the case, I wouldn't have re-submitted. Edit: Just did the search again, for "laboratory", and this flagged submission showed up. Not sure why the original one didn't show up for me.

    I picked them up from a search using https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=minervanett.no https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=minervanett.no as a query. Usually HN detects a duplicate submission URL (or certainly it did - which has saved me from posting a dupe or two in the past)
