In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we published a column that suggested the virus <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/02\/22\/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab\/\">could have leaked from a Chinese virology lab<\/a>. Facebook\u2019s \u201cfact checkers\u201d decided this was an opinion you weren\u2019t allowed to have and blocked the article. Today, it\u2019s a commonly discussed theory, with officials from former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield to CNN\u2019s Sanjay Gupta saying it can\u2019t be discounted.\u00a0Even the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said it can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In October, we published a series of articles about a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/14\/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad\/\">laptop Hunter Biden left at a Delaware repair shop<\/a>.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted to lawmakers months later it was a \u201ctotal mistake.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>We were right both times.
