I actually agree with @HeerJeet that "lab leak theory censorship" claims are overstated. But Jeet overplays the other side. Yes, Cotton toyed w/biowarfare innuendo. But media narratives also rejected far more modest lab-leak claims as "debunked."https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/contra-the-covid-contrarians …

I agree, but Cotton never made the extraordinary claim that you try to attribute to him in your piece. There’s a very big difference between claiming COVID probably was a bioweapon and claiming that we don’t have enough evidence to rule out that possibility.

And considering how the former SOS has stated publicly that the PLA was conducting research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, I don’t think we’re at a stage right now where we can confidently throw out the possibility that COVID was created by the PLA as a weapon.
