It's important to remember that a single individual can get some things right and other things really wrong.
For example, some scientists & journalists are fantastic at precisely explaining new variants and vaccine efficacy, but somehow terrible on the topic of #OriginOfCovid

It's tempting to assume the rest of their research or reporting might be similarly poor, but I know that these scientists and journalists are generally doing an incredible job in other areas. I just wish that they would apply similar standards of rigor to #OriginOfCovid
I'm really sure that, most of the time, these scientists and journalists are aware that you need to have complete data before making confident assertions.
I have not seen any of them rush to conclusions on new Covid variants or vaccine efficacy based on inaccessible or still accumulating data. Or say that it would be a "distraction" to investigate adverse effects of therapeutics or vaccines.
Please avoid judging their research and reporting on other important issues based on their #OriginOfCovid work.
