Honestly this deserves its own thread now.
In case you all missed it: the media, Democrats, "experts", etc, all stated it was a fact that the Wuhan virus originated in nature and said it was nothing but a conspiracy theory and yes even racism to suggest it might have escaped from a lab. Well now those same "experts" are saying it's entirely possible it did in fact escape from a lab.
China has possibly gotten away with murder on a global scale because you all hated Trump too much to even want to look for the truth that China might be to blame for all of this misery.
Let's go to Politi"fact"!

Original "fact" check:
There is now an editor's note at the top of this page:During an interview on Fox News, Yan said the coronavirus "is a man-made virus created in the lab."
The genetic structure of the novel coronavirus, which has been shared by thousands of scientists worldwide, rules out the possibility that it was manipulated in a lab. Public health authorities have repeatedly said the virus was not created in a lab. Scientists believe the coronavirus originated in bats before jumping to humans. Experts have publicly rebuked Yan’s paper, and it’s unclear whether it was peer reviewed.
The claim is inaccurate and ridiculous. We rate it Pants on Fire!
You gotta fucking love it! "We have gone through all of the facts and have rated this claim inaccurate, ridiculous, and 'pants on fire' lying! The facts have spoken!" Months later: "Oh wait, the facts have changed. OUR BAD!"Editor’s note, May 17, 2021: When this fact-check was first published in September 2020, PolitiFact’s sources included researchers who asserted the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not have been manipulated. That assertion is now more widely disputed. For that reason, we are removing this fact-check from our database pending a more thorough review. Currently, we consider the claim to be unsupported by evidence and in dispute. The original fact-check in its entirety is preserved below for transparency and archival purposes.
