I don’t know if you’re talking about this: https://theintercept.com/2022/01/12/covid-origins-fauci-redacted-emails/ https://theintercept.com/2022/01/12/covid-origins-fauci-reda... … but if so your statement is a thorough mischaracterization. 1. These weren’t just “some scientists”, they were Fauci, Collins, and an inner circle 2. They didn’t say it’s probably natural origin. One puts the probability at 70-30 or 60-40 in favor of a lab leak, and another says “I really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus or one very similar to it to nCoV where you insert exactly 4 amino acids 12 nucleotide that all have to be added at the exact same time to gain this function – that and you don’t change any other amino acid in S2? I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.” 3. From the house oversight letter: “ Only three days later, on February 4, 2020, four participants of the conference call authored a paper entitled “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” and sent a draft to Drs. Fauci and Collins.8 Prior to final publication in Nature Medicine, the paper was sent to Dr. Fauci for editing and approval.9 It is unclear what, if any, new evidence was presented or if the underlying science changed in that short period of time, but after speaking with Drs. Fauci and Collins, the authors abandoned their belief COVID-19 was the result of a laboratory leak. It is also unclear if Drs. Fauci or Collins edited the paper prior to publication.”. There have been repeated queries about what new evidence arose to so firmly convince all parties that the origin was natural and that anyone suggesting a lab leak was an irresponsible and dangerous conspiracy theorist. These queries were never answered. Therefore, it seems like quite a rational conclusion to draw that the lab leak hypothesis was being suppressed, contrary to your slanted language about “certain news sources screaming”.
