There was censorship in the form of calling the hypothesis of a lab leak (distinct from the hypothesis of an engineered virus) a debunked conspiracy theory. The fact that the theory is considered acceptable again is what people are claiming vindication for, and rightly so.

Someone telling you that your theory is wrong isn't censorship dude.

Saying that a theory is wrong is different from saying it's a conspiracy theory.

In the second case, you’re smearing proponents of the theory. That’s a form of censorship.

Doing it for a theory that was not in any way proven wrong (then or now) is professional misconduct.
