Perverse Downstream Consequences of Debunking
I think there is a lot more to say about this subject.<p>I&#x27;ll give a personal example, a few months ago, a leading French newspaper (Le Monde) published a debunk about the coronavirus origins, mostly trying to debunk that it originated from a lab in Wuhan.<p>The problem is that what was presented as undeniable facts was in practice very poorly constructed, and we know today that things are not that clear cut.<p>In my opinion, when something is debunked, it should be done in the most rigorous manner and stay as politically neutral as possible.<p>Unfortunately, this is not what I am seeing.
