"In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps," a Facebook spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

fact check reversal! lab leak theory rebunked! now that the powers that be have determined it's acceptable, you may talk amongst yourselves about a hypothesis that had just as much weight months ago as it does today!

@deutrino well, it's coming to mainstream just because scientists weren't able to find sufficient traces of the virus in nature.
It's not that there is enough evidence for lab leak theory - it's more about lack of direct evidence of the natural origin.
