This article has been posted several times, occasionally hitting the front page before being flagged off. It seems like a good article about legitimate scientist who holds a controversial opinion.<p>Rather than just flagging it, could we have the discussion about why it is extremely unlikely to be true? The alternative is that those who believe the virus was created in a lab never get to see the the counter arguments, and probably consider the flagging as confirmation that they are correct.<p>Alternatively, could we use this space as the discussion for why the article is inappropriate? While it's arguable that the origin of a virus off-topic for a tech site, I feel certain the issue is not the topic but the conclusion. What's the argument that this conclusion is too dangerous even discuss?
