Intelligence report exposes media promotion of Wuhan Lab lie (www.wsws.org)

On Friday evening, the Biden administration published a previously classified intelligence report acknowledging that three years of investigations have produced no evidence that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was created in a laboratory by scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China.

This admission demolishes years of false claims, uncritically promoted by the entire spectrum of the US media and political establishment, that China deliberately created the virus that has infected the world and killed more than 20 million people.

The report reveals that three leading US newspapers the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal lied when they claimed that the United States had evidence that researchers at the institute were hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms before the start of the pandemic, and were thus the proverbial “patient zero.”

Funny that after the report was released, all my lib friends seem more convinced than ever that there really was a lab leak. The media really doesn't care at all about the facts on this one

I just respond with "Of course covid leaked from a lab, the lab was Fort Deitrick."

A lot of homeless people I know are convinced of it just because it sounds cool. Since its not for political reasons, I just go along with it and tell them I agree.
