In February of 2020, the @washingtonpost reported that I was “fanning the embers of a conspiracy theory...debunked by experts” for “suggesting that the ongoing spread of a coronavirus is connected to research in....Wuhan, China.”

The article was part of an avalanche of criticism against me for daring to say that we should follow the science instead of trusting the CCP’s version of events.
Other publications like the New York Times wrote similar stories:

I pushed back against the Post’s smear, saying “none of these are ‘theories’ and certainly not ‘conspiracy theories.’ They are hypotheses that ought to be studied in light of the evidence, if the Chinese Communist Party would provide it.” 
Now, WaPo is “fanning the embers” of what it once considered a conspiracy theory.
On February 5, 2021, the Post’s own editorial board asks the same question I’ve asked for a year: “What is China trying to hide about the origins of the pandemic—and why?”

The @washingtonpost continues, writing that “the possibility of a laboratory accident or leak” “must be investigated,” especially considering the many laboratories in the area, like the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
I'm glad the Washington Post and others have come around and recognized that China needs to answer some questions and how its deception caused this pandemic.
