    Seems Dr. Peter Palese of Mount Sinai, who'd signed the Lancet letter calling theories on non-natural origin "conspiracy theories" has changed his mind. Not linking because Daily Mail. CAN WE NOT HAVE SUCH STUFF REPORTED ONLY by Daily Mail? Regular journalists can maybe clarify?pic.twitter.com/EhaPbL1hqH

        I think better journalistic reporting of important stuff which doesn't appear in, ahem,the most sensationalistic and terrible outlets (that little part *is* news but it is surrounded by garbage, innuendo and crap) might help?

        I am really curious why the narrative shifted in last two weeks. Wondering if someone leaked something critical.

        The daily mail and NY post have been the only ones willing to cover this for a while now. Sometimes it helps to not have a reputation to defend. Ask @Ayjchan about the editorials she almost published in the WSJ and another publication a few months back, and how they got spiked.

        along with zerohedge and gatewaypundit... appearing in those outlets automatically leads to the conspiracy theorist label to me at least

        Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow when you realize the Daily Mail and NYP have several times proven more trustworthy than the "prestigious" paper you work for. Bright side is, many of us see you as way above the garbage paper you work for.

        The lack of any actual evidence other than people using this sort of CYA language is annoying.
