> SARS-CoV-2 lab origin

How come the folks who keep bringing this up don't also mention that the original "censored" claims were that the virus was both engineered and intentionally leaked?

View on HN

This is the first major article about covid lab release dating to Jan of 2020. It was also the first article to be censored. Doesn't mention either of those.

> the real reason behind the viral spread is because a weaponized version of the coronavirus was released by Wuhan's Institute of Virology (accidentally or not)

Literally claims it's a manmade weapon released intentionally in the first paragraph.

Edit: it seems pretty obvious that article was banned because it's an unsubstantiated witch-hunt. It even gives the guy's number and urges the reader to harass him. Fwiw "they were just asking questions!" is not a valid argument.

Do you know what the word "accidentally" means?

The term "or not" is them suggesting it may not have been an accidental leak.

Edit: ah you're the troll I unfortunately encountered yesterday. Won't be engaging further, have a good evening!

Yes. Do you know what a disjunction is?
