In early 2020, anyone suggesting COVID-19 might have originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology was censored on social media, called a racist conspiracy theorist, and blacklisted from platforms. Facebook banned the claim outright. NPR called it 'debunked.' Vanity Fair called it a 'right-wing conspiracy.' In 2023, FBI Director Wray said the lab leak was 'most likely' the origin. The Department of Energy reached the same conclusion. WHO chief Tedros admitted the theory had been 'prematurely discarded.'
The COVID lab leak theory was censored as 'misinformation' then admitted as plausible by the FBI and DOE
βCOVID-19 likely originated from a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is being censored and anyone who says it is being called a conspiracy theorist.β
