....It wasn't even, "Hey, look at this," where you might have provided a link. It was just "I saw something that said this and that. Period." You can object to being called a doofus, but given the lack of elaboration in your original post it's sort of hard for you to ask anyone to expound on your topic.

The NYP is not "below the line" in the Ad Montes measurement (see the first pinned post at the top of this board), but it's in the gray area and not consistently considered reliable.

can be glitchy. I am now on my computer with keyboard and mouse. Your response is fine and correct. It would have been better to wait until I could post the the link.

They keep recycling old rumors that cropped up early in the pandemic that have been disproved.

If you're curious here's a good layman's explanation of what we know on pandemic origin and why the virology community leans heavily towards natural origins.

Ebright is a POS by the way. He spends his days trolling other scientists on Twitter and calling them morons/stooges/expletives. He's really unhinged. The article is classic NY Post.
Unhinged.

"Feel free to lecture me about professionalism here & get blocked w/ a quickness. I gave a talk on Twitter disinfo & had an entire slide cataloguing every time he called someone (inc me) a stooge in the prior 2 weeks. He’s an abusive bigot & I don’t owe him professional courtesy." He being Ebright.

He's also not a virologist so great sourcing by the post.

"Ebright is a professor of chemistry who studies bacterial transcription. He is not an expert on viruses in any way, despite Sachs’ insistence that he is “very senior”."
