Suddenly, there has been this startling 180 degree turn among the powers-that-be regarding the source of the Wuhan virus. Naturally, all of this reinforces my belief that John Stuart Mill was right about wanting free speech rather than all of the censorship that dominates on social media.

It follows the usual well established protocol: 1. Someone figures out what you're up to. 2. You lie like about it, accuse the whistleblower of being a 'conspiracy theorist, tinhatter, etc. 3. A little more evidence is leaked. You doubledown. Maybe try to avert attention to something else 4. More evidence come out. You go into damage-control mode. Sorta kinda admit there is some truth, but its exaggerated. 5. Even more evidence is found. You no longer bother to deny it, and hope no one remembers all your lies.
