I think I can see where her article is going - "the lab leak debate was silenced by labeling those believing in it asconspiracy theorists". There'll be others like it.It's disgusting.

Yup, she's gone. I'd love to have her explain exactly what version of the lab leak isn't a conspiracy theory - Icertainly can't think of any.

@Kristian Andersen - thanks for posting the Metzl piece. I will give him credit for becoming more forthwith - at least he's upfront now with clearly laying out that it's a cover-up and conspiracy. I'm more ok with that than the Relmandoubletalk. I'm moving this over here to the executive group off record. I just this morning did a long interview for ABC Nightline - they mentioned that Metzl (maybe Relman likely Carrol and Koopsman all) on it. I'm guessing that what Metzl put up there is the same script he gave Nightline. Was I successful in rebutting - we'll see - always at themercy of what may drop on the cutting room floor. post-interview I got the impression they liked what they heard. Got this from the producer as well. [shared file(s): image.png]

Just saw the other post from Metzl - he's also a liar and thug.

Yup - but unfortunately not enough to sue.

Plus you're a public figure. Bar higher. You thereby have to prove actual malice (not just that what was said was false) - in this case perhaps not so difficult.
