I don't ever remember seeing a 'science is wrong' headline before COVID, only breathless headlines about the benefits of whatever the article is about. For reference see the latest breathless headlines about the solar panels that can produce energy at night, despite it being 50 milliwats even in the original papers title.

They certainly made a meal out of the "superluminal" OPERA neutrinos, and that was 10 years ago. Anything that can be phrased as "Einstein wrong?!" is particularly gleefully seized upon, despite Betteridge's cautions.
