Zero Hedge: WaPo Head 'Fact Checker' Glenn Kessler Heckled Over Lab-Leak Flip-Flop
With the COVID-19 'lab leak' theory finally gaining mainstream legitimacy following recent reports from the Wall Street Journal, and an admission by Anthony Fauci that he's now open to the possibility, formerly smug establishment 'fact checkers' are now scrambling to salvage their reputations after categorically dismissing a lab leak as a 'debunked conspiracy theory.'

Update #2: China is continuing to deny, deny, deny ..... China rejects report of sick staff at Wuhan lab prior to Covid outbreak (The Guardian).The answer seems clear.

Absent that, Vox would have hoped nobody noticed & just kept these edits stealth.https://t.co/YnmuitbjPh
