Vox Stealth Edits Article ‘Debunking’ COVID Lab Leak Origin Theory.
National Pulse ^ | 05/25/2021 | Natalie Winters

Posted on 05/25/2021 7:07:24 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Highlighted by computer scientist Paul Graham on Twitter, the changes appear in a Vox article originally published on March 4th, 2020. The article – “The Conspiracy Theories About the Origins of the Coronavirus, Debunked” – was revised on March 12th, 2021 in an effort to backtrack the piece’s adamant opposition to the possibility of COVID-19 leaking from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"The largest section of the Records Department, far larger than the one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents which had been superseded and were due for destruction. A number of the Times which might, because of changes in political alignment, or mistaken prophecies uttered by Big Brother, have been rewritten a dozen times still stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed to contradict it. Books, also, were recalled and rewritten again and again, and were invariably reissued without any admission that any alteration had been made. Even the written instructions which Winston received, and which he invariably got rid of as soon as he had dealt with them, never stated or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always the reference was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary to put right in the interests of accuracy."

Left-wing media outlet Vox is secretly revising articles related to the origins of COVID-19’s, reversing its original stance that the “lab leak” theory wasn’t plausible.

in late 2019, as Covid19 was taking off, Chinese citizens themselves, who obviously were closest to the situation, were discussing on social media the strong potential of a lab release/leak.

Of course, that was all shut-down and scrubbed by the CCP.

I never thought I would say this, but the censorship of the CCP does not stop inside of China. They appear to control our media as well.

This is a prime example of why it’s hard for me to take anything written on the Interweb seriously. Social Media is fine for send pics to grandma but virtually useless for any serious information. Too easy to modify or scrub.

Just look at the simp John Cena - he called Taiwan a nation or country and the CCP screamed to Hollywood and he begged China for forgiveness.

Thanks for the ping!

Why would the liberals from the outhouse to their mediots, be “secretly revising articles related to the origins of COVID-19’s, reversing its original stance that the “lab leak” theory wasn’t plausible.”

Even Falsi appears to be reversing his original theories of where this virus came from.

Thanks for posting this Orwell reality:

“The largest section of the Records Department, far larger than the one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents which had been superseded and were due for destruction. A number of the Times which might, because of changes in political alignment, or mistaken prophecies uttered by Big Brother, have been rewritten a dozen times still stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed to contradict it. Books, also, were recalled and rewritten again and again, and were invariably reissued without any admission that any alteration had been made. Even the written instructions which Winston received, and which he invariably got rid of as soon as he had dealt with them, never stated or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always the reference was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary to put right in the interests of accuracy.”

THAT BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Effort praised by CCP scientist doing so

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3960570/posts

Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

WHEN THE CCP SCIENTISTS WERE WORKING ON COVID THIS WAS GOING ON IN CHINA
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership, wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so.

All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump. In totalitarian political circles this strategy has been reported to be frequently considered Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay

I can't help think of Luc Montagnier. Montagnier is a world-class virologist and is the man who discovered HIV. Early in 2020, he published a paper exploring the very peculiar presence of genetic elements of both HIV and Malaria in the COVID genome. Those, apparently, should not be there and on the subject, Montagnier said...

"presence of elements of HIV and germ of malaria in the genome of coronavirus is highly suspect and the characteristics of the virus could not have arisen naturally.

Naturally, the 'scientific community,' tried to run him out of town on a rail. Now, a year later, Montagnier seems to be a lot closer to the truth than they are.

Tony Fauci - the man ultimately responsible for funding gain of function research at the Wuhan lab, always saw himself as the HIV savior. He wanted to cure that disease more than anything. Is it a coincidence the coronavirus research he funded quite likely produced a variant that including genetic markers of HIV? Probably not, IMO.

“secretly revising articles related to the origins of COVID-19’s ...

Falsi reversing his original theories is fine... lots of people change their minds with new evidence... But like you, my concern is the 'secretly revising articles related' to covid... If it's not the usual weak ego of creepy liberal writers it could be something more serious...

Thanks for your reply!

I don’t think that Falsi would be changing his stance re where did the virus come from unless he had to due to some really hard data that he/they have access to. Data that may become public!

Also, many of us are wondering, “Why now are so many mediots and their media sites/bosses changing their positions re where and when did this Covid come from?”
