Scientists at Wuhan lab in Covid probe admitted being bitten by bats

The headline is bad, the scientists at the lab did not admit they had gotten bit when they were in the laboratory. They were bit in the field. At least according to the linked article and its sources.

The cited video was broadcast in December 2017.

The headline is misleading because it implies they admitted being bit as part of the probe.

These scientists had a very lax attitude towards safety, especially considering they understood from their direct research that bat coronaviruses were deadly.

Part of a larger pattern of negligence that was noted even before the pandemic.

Amazingly, old news can be recycled by the NY Post and they can pretend it's breaking news and part of the "probe".
