Yes, scientific consensus can change, which lends support to the idea that platforms shouldn’t be banning ideas that aren’t the current scientific consensus.

I don't see how that follows. The people saying it was airborne early on were not saying it with scientific backing, they might as well have been saying it was waterborne. Basically, they guessed and got lucky.

Just because there wasn't scientific consensus doesn't mean there was no scientific backing. How about just not censoring?
