No, I am not presenting the full arguments here so don't go after what I just put here. Similar comments were upvoted later this year.

Reminds me of the pandemic 180 degree turns we made with respect to origins. At first, it was unacceptable to discuss lab leak theory. After Lancet post, it was then suddently acceptable. But, now it is uncool again.

The mob is absolutely ruthless and disgraceful.

I've followed HN through the pandemic and I found it pretty balanced on the lab leak theory. I've personally always been open to the idea and I've not noticed a huge wave of "mob" behaviour either way.
