One thing that bothers me the most about all this is the arrogance of the media. They do a 180 without any discussion of why they didn't more enthusiastically explore this possibility from the beginning. It also sends the message that, OK, now it's permissible, all you little peons, to openly question whether the virus escaped from a lab.

Whereas a month ago any individual who raised this question was labeled a conspiracy theorist nut, now they can be considered well informed; that's OK. It's condescending bullshit.
