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.

Exactly. On one hand i'm glad at least the truth, which was painfully obvious from the beginning, is coming out.

On the other hand it's infuriating to see the media's slimy manoeuvring - having vilified anyone who suggested it previously, they now act like they've uncovered the story - with no credit for those who did the work - or acknowledgement of their own efforts to cover it up.

All to be expected of course.

Then we've got all these highly paid experts - some of who were just stupid - some of whom knowingly lied. None of whom will be held to account by the media.
