> During the height of the pandemic, the mere idea that the SARS-COV-2 virus originated in a Wuhan lab was taboo, but now many scientists believe it’s worth investigating. (Five years on, it’s still unclear how COVID originated.)

Interesting way to turn a post ostensibly about misinformation into part of a disinformation campaign.

As with the “9/11 was an inside job” folk, the only scientists who believe that a lab leak caused the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are those with no subject matter expertise in virology or epidemiology.


Except it's widely proven today, so you might want to reexamine your propaganda echo chamber


Neither of those two points is even narrowly proven… you might want to tap on your own tinfoil walls before speaking of others.
