“In addition, the [Intelligence Committee] was able to reach broad agreement on several other key issues. We judge the virus was not developed as a biological weapon…” dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc…
“Most agencies also assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered; however, two agencies believe there was not sufficient evidence to make an assessment either way.” dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc…
Remember when a major magazine entertained the ideas that SARS2 was a bioweapon or genetically engineered despite scientific evidence to the contrary? Good thing that didn’t happen because it would be pretty embarrassing right now…
And while we're talking lab leak...
If there is a story, NYT will find a way to play both sides of it.
Ex: @Ayjchan / her cadre have harassed scientists who support natural origins, including ones forced off this social platform...and covered by NYT
nytimes.com/2021/06/14/sci…
And she is co-authoring a book with a noted climate change denier who defames journalists on the regular.
Yet some of those key details seem to be missing from the NYT profile of Chan. Quelle surprise.

NYT: "Matt Ridley, a best-selling but controversial science writer who has been criticized for downplaying the seriousness of climate change."
Me: Fam, he supports fracking and said this about global warming. It's a little more than "downplaying"... carbonbrief.org/scientists-res…
