Yup. I was pissed off from the start by people who were absolutely sure it was/wasn't a lab leak.

And that you were a racist xenophobic bigot for even considering the possibility of a lab leak.

> On 2 April 1979, spores of Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax) were accidentally released from a Soviet military research facility in the city of Sverdlovsk, Russia (now Yekaterinburg). The ensuing outbreak of the disease resulted in the deaths of at least 66 people, although the exact number of victims remains unknown. The cause of the outbreak was denied for years by the Soviet authorities, which blamed the deaths on consumption of tainted meat from the area, and subcutaneous exposure due to butchers handling the tainted meat. All medical records of the victims were removed to hide serious violations of the Biological Weapons Convention that had come in effect in 1975. The accident is sometimes referred to as "biological Chernobyl".

#8Will there be fallout for social media fact checkers, who moderated out users' observation and hypothesis which matched the new consensus?
Also, 'there had been a "premature push"' is very passive language. Who pushed? I wish the AP published on the web so that they were able to hyperlink to original source material or their transcript.
Edit: I guess the old consensus must be buried.
