Without a doubt many things were ignored or made out to be so much more chaotic, or unknown, as the MSM had a goal. It was to create chaos and confusion and anger at Trump as much as possible. And on the other hand, nothing at all was to get out negatively about Biden or democrats.
Day and night things were altered, changed up a tad, lied about, censored, ignored - all with a goal in mind.
They are still those people and not much has changed, other than it's no Biden and no sight of Trump. So they can afford to be more honest and discuss things like this, as there is no harm anymore.
The news about the possibility of this virus leaking from Wuhan has been around and discussed and information came out in March, April & May of 2020 and continued until today. Only not by the MSM. And of course Biden was in his basement.

Mysterious Origins Of COVID-19 Raise Some Alarming Possibilities
For over a year, the American establishment and media have ostracized anyone who dared to connect the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Then, suddenly and without apologies for their past demagoguery, “journalists” and “experts” conceded that the Wuhan lab may well have been the most likely genesis.
Why the abrupt change?
For one thing, Donald Trump is no longer president.
There is now no need for progressives to declare everything that Trump once asserted as truth to be a lie. That includes Trump’s insistence that the Wuhan lab, not a wet market full of sliced-up bats, was the source of the outbreak.
The recent release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails, along with new information about the gain-of-function research, make it clear that U.S. taxpayer dollars were being funneled to the Chinese for coronavirus research in Wuhan.
So now what?
We are left with a number of lose-lose scenarios regarding China’s efforts to lie about the origins of COVID-19.
Will China continually deny what is appearing to be undeniable? Perhaps. We should remember that this is a country with a Communist Party hierarchy that once killed many millions of its own citizens under Mao Zedong, and with a current apparat that has put 1 million Muslim Uyghurs into internment camps.
A stonewalling China likely will conclude that the risk of appearing guilty for causing one of the greatest “natural” global disasters in a century is not nearly as destructive to its interests as admitting it.
Will China then wait us out, denying the obvious facts, until weary Americans move onto another of their media frenzies?
Or, could China confess that the virus was birthed in the Wuhan lab but claim its appearance was a “joint” effort with the United States? The Chinese could insist that combined efforts with the U.S. were aimed at finding a “cure” for coronavirus epidemics, and thus China should not be blamed — or at least not solely blamed.
China could claim that it, too, was misled by its own sloppy researchers. It might even assert that its prior code of silence was meant to shield the role of U.S. funders of what turned into a pandemic disaster.
Americans then would end up wondering to what degree our own doctors and institutions not only lied to us throughout the crisis but, in some bizarre way, may have shared responsibility for engineering the virus.
Or, Chinese officials could privately wink and nod to our intelligence and military communities that their researchers were in fact pursuing “legitimate” viral gain-of-function research when a terrible Chernobyl-like accident took place. They might unofficially remind our officials that such things have also happened at Bhopal, Three Mile Island and Fukushima.
