The leak of of the "China" virus from the Wuhan lab was an outright lie just one year ago. Today it is a viable theory investigated under orders of the sitting president.
Characterstically, Facebook and other media companies didn't suffer any consequences for suppressing public discussion on this matter.
(I don't hold any view about this theory. Comment is about absurdity of the idea of claiming that something is an outright lie, and also about hypocrisy of a so-called "fact-checkers")
- edanm 5y ago> The leak of of the "China" virus from the Wuhan lab was an outright lie just one year ago. Was it? I remember hearing plenty about the theory for a while. Sure, a lot of it (if not most) was saying that the theory is wrong - but not that it was a lie or anything, just giving evidence against. (And to be clear, saying a year ago that it is for sure a leak was probably really a lie - just as saying it now, cause afaik there is no conclusive evidence either way).
- Akronymus 5y agoYou (in the plura) saying that it may have come from the lab about a year ago would likely have led to being silenced or banned for it because of "misinformation". I personally suspect that was at least in part motivated by the then president being a proponent of the theory.
