Did the New York Times stifle lab leak debate?

Absolutely, just about every liberal media source, scientific establishment, and politician did with no proof or data. That's exactly what they always do.

They pretend to be open, they pretend to believe in science, but they just lie and push an agenda and that's all they do.

I'm very pro vaccine, so pro vaccine I've gotten vaccines most people have never heard of, but the reality is, EVERY medical professional that claims the vaccine is safe is a liar and the doctors are violating their Hippocratic oath. We don't know the long term side effects, so they should instead say "From the data we have, short term side effects are minimal, BUT we have no idea what the long term side effects are." That would be the honest answer. They should still recommend it for most people, but they should be honest. They like many people are brainwashed by the drug companies and act like they are on their payroll.

This will go down as WMD 2.0

Winner take all for print media has been a disaster.
