People who brought up the lab-leak as the most self-explanatory and obvious cause of Covid, given all the data including the gain-of-function research being sponsored in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, were down-voted thousands of times into oblivion here on HN. Most such comments were even flagged for removal.

This happened even as recently as last month after the CIA grudgingly admitted Covid was considered a likely cause. Hell, Trump was crucified and lambasted in the media for even bringing up this point in the past.

Now, it seems that the dominos are slowly falling as every intelligence agency admits that they knew that lab-leak was the cause of Covid. Mostly disgusted at HN since it has proven itself to be a lemming echo-chamber with little independent thought.

Yep, Biden got first reports way before Trump it was Lab leak, yet, hacker news still buries it.

This and that "event in Cuba with US diplomates" that we will not talk about.
