I expected to see last Friday's Vanity Fair article on the lab leak theory in this week's covid post.

I considered posting it in the comments last week, but figured it was high profile enough that you would see it anyway, and my post would be noise.

The analysis of Chinese bureaucratic messaging is... not well supported, but that's by design according to the hypothesis. My main takeaway is that a feature-length Vanity Fair indicates the lab leak explanation's progress in gaining more mainstream acceptance.
