Exclusive: How amateur sleuths broke the Wuhan Lab story and embarrassed the media
The people responsible for bringing the Wuhan lab-leak story to light are not journalists or spies or scientists. They are a group of amateur sleuths, with few resources except curiosity and a willingness to spend days combing the internet for clues.
Hasnain says:
This was very engaging. I don’t think we will ever have a definitive answer to what happened here; but this shows the power of internet sleuthing and how narratives change over time. And it goes into some COVID history.
“But it's now clear that the question of whether a biolab could have caused this pandemic—and could cause the next—is going to be explored in a way that might never have happened if a radical and decentralized group of outsiders hadn't challenged the status quo.
That's a lesson The Seeker won't soon forget. "I no longer see science as an exclusive domain," he wrote to Newsweek. "Everyone can make a difference."”
