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.

German police find themselves stuck in the mud while protecting a coal mine that’s being besieged by climate protesters who want to shut it down amid one of the country’s worst energy shortages.
If these were anti-lockdown protesters they’d be allowed to beat them up and arrest them.
The climate protesters serve the same cause as the establishment. These actions are fully sanctioned. The police are just pawns, deployed for security theater, to keep the public ignorant of their goals.
Anyone else remember the panic over toilet paper? Let's never do this again.
It was a sophisticated nudging operation to prime the public for resource shortages, mess up the supply chain and transport, and instill a sense of terror and panic in a populace that wasn’t yet at the time ready to embrace lockdowns, mandates and the repeal of personal freedoms.
