The problem is this is also not true. There was a lot of aggressive dismissing of available evidence by Western establishments. It wasn't straightforward at all, prior work here vs. prior work there. It's actually an astonishing story tbh. I'm sensitive to it because I know it.

Replying to @zeynep @mattyglesias
I wrote a part of it for the NYT, and in all honesty, I wrote the least inflammatory version of the story I could bring myself to write, highlighting history and context rather than incompetence, ideological blinders and, yeah, corruption. It's not a benign "prior work" story.
