Are people finally allowed to say this without fear of the cancel mob coming after them?

Watching Dr John Campbell in the UK receive repeated YouTube warnings for simply unpacking publicly available COVID research papers and public health statistics has been really depressing.

Will there be any apologizing for the years of gaslighting about this?

Unfortunately due to how bad the media is now, truth is is always on a time-delay release.

I think in alot of cases if your understanding of a topic is based purely on what you've heard in the media, then you are less informed than someone who has never heard of that topic.

if your understanding of a topic is based purely on what you've heard in the media, then you are less informed than someone who has never heard of that topic.

That's not even possible. Even if you are misinformed or misunderstand something about an issue, simply having awareness of an issue makes you more informed on that subject than someone unaware that it exists.

I believe the poster is trying to say if you provide an objective assessment of the situation, a person who hasn't been tainted by the media would have the more accurate take.

Large chunks of the media assured us that it was not only impossible that the virus came from a lab but also racist and xenophobic to even suggest it. If you told the average person who didn't watch the news that a lab that studies corona viruses is in a city where a corona virus started many would just assume it came from the lab.

Completely disagree. Having an awareness that is completely wrong due to media disinformation, puts you behind someone who at least knows they are ignorant on the subject.

"Most Likely" and "Low Confidence" don't really mesh in my mind very well.

Some officials briefed on the intelligence said that it was relatively weak and that the Energy Department’s conclusion was made with “low confidence,” suggesting its level of certainty was not high. While the department shared the information with other agencies, none of them changed their conclusions, officials said. (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/26/us/politics/china-lab-lea...)

I wish they would share whatever this new evidence is with the public. There's not agreement about what it means among the agencies who have seen it, so maybe having more eyes on the problem can clarify the situation.
