    Tom Nichols Retweeted Jay Caruso

    Or, here's another idea: Maybe Tom Cotton will take the lesson that sounding like an conspiracy crank undermines a valid possibility and a reasonable point that he could have made by sounding more like a senator and less like a caller to the Alex Jones show.https://twitter.com/JayCaruso/status/1246073030398353409 …

        “Scientists don’t rule out” is a far cry from vindication.

        No the latest is that the bat this originated from wasn’t at the market but was at the lab. Not that it matters anyway. They need to shut down the wet markets and beef up inspections at or close non-compliant infectious disease labs

        This article eviscerates the straw man "made by scientists" but doesn't disprove "escaped from lab"

        Tom Cotton learning a lesson sounds even less likely than anyone apologizing to him.

        Yet another idea: it doesn't matter right now. Focus on the problem. There will be plenty of time to allocate blame later.
