There is a certain legitimate distrust at this point over the lab leak issue. That's because of those two papers published in I believe Nature and the Lancet claiming that the evidence strongly supported a natural origin theory; those papers have now been discredited and some of the authors have deleted their Twitter accounts after exposure of their own emails that questioned natural origin theories due to anomalies in the viral sequence. That's very suspicious behavior for 'peer-reviewed research'.

- Notanothertoo 5y agoThe lab leak is still not known or accepted by the wider public. Even after vanity fairs write up.
- photochemsyn 5y ago1) The papers shouldn't have made it through any kind of honest peer-review process. 2) The papers to my knowledge have not been formally retracted, which is what normally happens after a peer-reviewed report is discredited. So, not working very well.
