The possibility of a leak from a virus lab in Wuhan being responsible for the coronavirus pandemic was a mainstream theory on the virus’s origins when it was first advanced. The media was quoting their sources in U.S. intelligence that were looking into that angle. But after the tainted WHO origins team finished their “investigation” and announced that not only was there no sign the disease leaked from a Wuhan lab but that the team would no longer continue to investigate the lab-leak theory, the media began a campaign to silence those who wanted to write or talk about it.
Then, this past week, two stories appeared that changed the momentum of reporting on the lab-leak theory. A group of 18 prominent scientists said it was too early to dismiss the lab-leak theory and that the WHO investigation had been tainted by Chinese government interference. The scientists called for another independent investigation.
This past weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. intelligence believes that several workers at the Wuhan lab became ill in the fall of 2019, leading to hospitalizations.
Suddenly, it’s all the rage in the mainstream media to talk about the possibility of a lab -eak that caused the pandemic. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci has succumbed and now says he’s “not sure” the coronavirus occurred naturally.
But many prominent scientists have been calling for another investigation — including the lab-leak hypothesis — since the WHO team got back from China in March. And U.S. intelligence agencies have claimed all along that the lab-leak theory could not be dismissed.
They will never admit it, but the media and the left turned a reasonable hypothesis into a conspiracy theory almost overnight. In truth, there were some on the right advancing hysterical theories of a “bio-weapon,”

Many mainstream journalists, though not all, dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis out of hand as a conspiracy theory. In part, they were deceived by some especially voluble public-health experts. In part, they simply took Donald Trump’s bait, answering the former president’s dissembling with false certainty of their own.
It is not too early to grapple with the failures of the media, which reflect the wider struggles of trying to fairly convey the truth in an atmosphere deformed by misinformation. Rather than meet lies with truth, the media often met it with other lies.
Good people were defamed for advancing the lab-leak hypothesis. Tom Cotton was pilloried in the media for trying to make the argument that the lab-leak hypothesis should be investigated.
The best thing I can say about the scum media is that they are idiots and they were duped by Fraudxi and the ChiComs. The worst thing I can say is that they knew it all along and were in on the cover-up.
I’m inclined to go with the latter.
This is all the Media has ever done.
It’s now official. It’s the Fauci Virus.
The left in general oppresses opposing viewpoints with all the true believer fervor of the good little Goebbels acolytes they are.
Just this morning I was notified by Instagram that my account had been locked due to someone attempting to hack it. Apparently some good little brown-shirt out in Mountain View CA decided a comment I made yesterday didn't show the proper enthusiasm for the party's policies. Some little {excrement} hiding in his or her's mommy's basement - part of the acceptance, tolerance, and diversity crowd no-doubt - decided they didn't like what I had to say, a little too much diversity. They showed their true colors by making a clumsy attempt to hack into my account. Of course they lack any real skill outside bullying and Instagram was able to detect and shut this effort down.
This is the third time in the last eight months or so this has happened. The pattern is always the same. I don't post political content. I do follow some political accounts and occasionally comment on them. Apparently every once in a while I hit just a little too close to home. Three times now it has been insightful comment (well, I thought so), followed by an attempt to hack into my account (badly), followed by me changing my password.
Tench_Coxe: 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.”
—George Orwell, 1984

Why is this happening now?
This past weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. intelligence believes that several workers at the Wuhan lab became ill in the fall of 2019, leading to hospitalizations.

“Good people were defamed for advancing the lab-leak hypothesis.”
Not just defamed, but essentially “unpersoned” on social media, across multiple platforms in coordinated attacks.
I don’t think they’ve ever approve the COVID-19 actually even ever existed and they just re-packaged influenza a and B that’s what I’m looking at
Probably. It won't surprise anyone, if we find out the MSM was in on the cover up.
Why don’t they water board Peter Dasack?
You’ll get the answer immediately since he’s eyeball deep in muddy water on this issue. He KNOWS it was a Wuhan lab leak and he paid for it through Eco-alliance.
An interesting twist of history, it was journalists that coined the term “Useful Idiot”. Most of them have become that Useful Idiot.
I prefer “Falschi” virus
Media: That never happened. Maybe you are crazy
We’ve known about the Wuhan bio-lab connection for a year or more. Media has covered it up to the best of their ability.
“Media Pretending They Never Tried to Censor Those Writing About the Wuhan Lab-Leak Theory”
We’ve ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia ...
>>To the leftist media today censorship comes as naturally as breathing. We’ve seen it time and time again - their denials are an insult.
Stalinists lie. Always
The recent outbreak in India, where the virus never really got a foothold, is a good possibility.
At some point the few remaining responsible adults in the Biden Admin were forced to say enough is enough.
