    If it turns out that the coronavirus did escape from a lab in Wuhan, Twitter is going to owe ZeroHedge an apology for automatically flagging every link to their site. In fact they probably already do.pic.twitter.com/BIfpOl3RPP

        I'm not talking about the possibility that the virus was created in a lab, but that a naturally occurring virus escaped from the sort of studies mentioned in this article:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/ …

        Also @twitter should apologize for bowing to #CCP propaganda control and censorship of people speaking truth. There’s already documentary from @EpochTimes talking about the origin it came out last week.

        and closing down their twitter account with tens of thousands of followers too. But it's a bit more complicated then that. They did because ZH doxxed a particular researcher from the Wuhan lab.

        It’s also a bit more complicated than a ban for doxxing. The dox was publicly posted contact information that was quickly removed from the lab website.

        I don’t think they owe an apology given the content on Zero Hedge is often prone to conspiracy and written for conspiracy theorists. It’s one thing if human error led to community contamination, but it’s a far cry from that to bioweapon tales.

        The problem with this take is Zero Hedge was years early on reporting Cosby/Epstein and called the Trump 2016 with solid analysis when most media missed it. Also TSA wiretapping. No one comes back to apologize for calling “consipiracys” that which later become “common knowledge”

        And if it’s not true, you are going to owe Twitter an apology.

        No. I'm not claiming either origin story is true. Just that the lab origin is a real possibility, and shouldn't be written off. And that is hardly a controversial position.
