    'Disgraced journalist' obviously could also be applied to Don McNeil as well - his "origins" piece only somewhat lessegregious. Also loved the Murdock media insight! Will the real science journalists start to re-insert their spines?

    What are the odds that all of the viruses in the WIV that they have worked on over the years it's the one that's thereno record of that is subject to a catastrophic lab leak? Improbable that this virus exists on current data x improbablethat any virus leaks out = highly improbable.

    If they have shoddy lab procedures then surely it's the virus they use most often that has the greatest chance ofleaking out?
