That user on the Talk:COVID-19 page has a bizarre editing history. Mostly dormant from 2014-2023, recently began picking up editing in spaces concerning the supposed "lab leak origin theory" of COVID. What do you think? I don't think COVID-19 is the right article for them to be discussing this issue, but that aside their combative attitude is not serving them any benefits as of now. Let me know what you think. I don't really want to haul this person to some noticeboard (mostly because I dislike bureaucracy) but push comes to shove I s'pose we ought to do something about it. X750. Spin a yarn?

@X750: what happened is a congressional panel here in the United States released a statement that endorses the lab leak theory, based on... an op-ed. While ignoring actual research that says it's nonsense. So of course, the conspiracists latched onto it and are hitting our articles demanding we believe them. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/12/congressional-republicans-conclude-sars-cov-2-originated-in-a-lab-leak/ — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 11:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250101113200","author":"HandThatFeeds","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-HandThatFeeds-20250101113200-X750-20241231205900","replies":["c-X750-20250102000500-HandThatFeeds-20250101113200"],"displayName":"The Hand That Feeds You"}}-->
I understand. Thank you for the insight & explanation; it is hard as a foreigner (despite my residence within the U.S.) to process all that goes on within the American news sphere. So, a total nothingburger in the grand scheme of things. X750. Spin a yarn?
