The media can be expected to fuck up a science story, even a high profile one, because they do that as a matter of course, even for simple, basic technical stuff that would be obvious to a first year college student with the relevant major.

The true problem is those professional scientists who jumped on the "lol conspiratard" bandwagon and probably ended up carrying water for the CCP, albeit unwittingly. I'm talking about the government who cried "racism" when other countries started closing their borders to China — the first one to do that was of course Taiwan AKA Republic of China, who are by that token racist against Chinese people, I guess.
