As it turns out, I apparently don't interact with media employing fact checkers all that much. Apparently, I get stuff from the horse's mouth. "I don't recall fact checkers ever saying the lab theory was "preposterous", only that it was unsupported by evidence at the time." As I recall, officials and experts were saying that the lab-leak theory was unsupported by evidence, while people were boycotting Chinese restaurants and attacking vaguely Asian looking people because they held "China" responsible for the pandemic. "I don't recall fact checkers ever saying the vaccine "stops" the virus spread, only that it dramatically reduces transmission. There was always concerns about variant escape from like, April 2020." As I recall, experts have always been saying that the vaccines were very effective at preventing death and hospitalization, but did not eliminate the possibility of infection and if you were infected, it might still be possible to transmit the virus. And yes, the effectiveness of the vaccines against variants of the virus has always been a question. https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/fully-vaccinated-people.html https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru... https://web.archive.org/web/20210326123341/https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/fully-vaccinated-people.html https://web.archive.org/web/20210326123341/https://www.cdc.g... Could someone provide a link to anyone saying anything else? (I've previously posted articles about the history of the evolving mask issue.)
