Early in 2020 alternative media discussions that COVID may have leaked from a lab were ruthlessly "fack-checked" and censored from social media for misinformation. Now that we know more these claims have become accepted as a very real possibility.
- edoceo 5y agoWere they censored? IIRC they were only labeled as "not fact checked" - which at the time was true. It seems lots of emerging stories should carry that label.

As politi-facts put it: "There is no evidence that the coronavirus was made in a lab. The overwhelming consensus among public health experts is that the virus evolved naturally."
