> This is akin to Fauci saying he didn't think we should be wearing masks, and changing his mind as more data came in. Those aren't similar situations at all. Fauci's comments are based on the data that's available at a particular time, about an ongoing, evolving situation, so it makes sense that his advice will change as the situation evolves. On the other hand, this news story was was about a series of events that already happened and were no longer on going. All of the facts were out there but the journalists just didn't do their research. So it's great that they're retracting the story, but they never should have published it in the first place.
