Left-wing website website Vox has been caught stealth editing an old
article from March 2020 “debunking” the lab origin of COVID following
numerous prominent officials now saying the lab origin is a distinct
possibility.

Writer and investor Paul Graham documented the edits, tweeting, “Some
of the stealth edits that Vox made to its article debunking
“conspiracy theories” that Covid-19 originated in a lab leak between
its original publication in March 2020 and now.”

The edits include removing the words that the virus definitively did
“not come from the Wuhan lab” and saying that the fact the virus
emerged in the same city in which the lab is located “appears to be
pure coincidence” rather than the previously more definitive “is pure
coincidence.”

“Vox is editing it articles “debunking” the coronavirus lab leak
theory. These edits aren’t being disclosed to readers,” tweeted Mike
Cernovich. “Vox is a disinformation website.”

As we highlighted earlier, new information based on a US intelligence
report reveals that three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of
Virology became so sick in November 2019 that they required hospital
treatment.

This followed Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledging for the first time that
the origin of COVID-19 “could have been something else, and we need to
find that out.”

Last week, Biden’s CDC Director said she remained open to the
possibility that the virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab and
scientific groups have also asserted that the lab leak is the most
likely source.

Following the bolstering of the possibility that the virus was leaked
from the lab, Politifact was also forced to pull a ‘fact check’ that
claimed it had “debunked” the lab leak origin theory of COVID-19.

For over a year, social media networks have characterized the lab leak
theory as “misinformation” and removed it under the umbrella of “fake
news.”

Now that more and more evidence continues to drop that such
“conspiracy theories” were actually not only plausible but quite
possibly true, the backpedaling continues apace.
