This aged poorly. Will Vice retract?

Is Fortune going to retract this nonsense?

Will MSNBC/MaddowBlog retract this?

Will Scientific American retract this "fact check"?

Speaking of more things that aged poorly, here's the Seattle Times publishing Chinese state propaganda.

Don't worry folks, FactCheck dot org is on the case and they said there's no way it came from a lab.

Forbes strongly declared: the Wuhan lab leak theory (which they refer to as a hypothesis) a "conspiracy theory," not science. Will they retract?

Did USA Today have a crystal ball to determine that COVD-19 was neither "manmade or engineered"?

Full Fact seems a little half-baked in its claim that there was "no evidence that the 2019 coronavirus originated in a Chinese government laboratory."

The New York Times called it a "fringe theory." To their credit, they did a bunch of follow-up articles later on questioning the validity of the claim that it's just nonsense.

Democracy does indeed "die in darkness," Washington Post.

The list goes on. I could keep going and delve into how social media platforms actively censored any conversations on the COVID-19 lab leak theory but that's a thread for another day and has already been covered to some extent by the #TwitterFiles.
