Disney is trying to get a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a New York University doctor’s grieving husband tossed — because he signed up for the Disney+ streaming service years earlier, court papers said.
Kanokporn Tangsuan’s bereaved widower, Jeffrey Piccolo, is suing the theme park juggernaut, claiming that she suffered a fatal allergic reaction shortly after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant in Florida last October.
But Disney is claiming the $50,000 suit should be moved out of the courts because Piccolo agreed to arbitrate all disputes with the company when he first signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service back in 2019, court documents charge.

This beyond extremely stupid argument and the negative press that it draws is going to cost Disney far more than $50,000 USD ...

The harms of promoting the lab leak hypothesis for SARS-CoV-2 origins without evidence
There is currently no verified scientific evidence to support the lab leak hypothesis. Moreover, the assertions in the Chan article have been challenged by a growing body of scientific data supporting the zoonosis hypothesis (4, 5, 8, 10–12). Dr. Chan’s five key points are well refuted by the data, as discussed in publicly accessible platforms by Dr. Paul Offit, in the science-based podcast This Week in Virology (TWiV), and in the scientific literature (13, 14). Further, based on the scientific evidence and investigations described in a declassified report, the majority of the US Intelligence community concur with the zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2 being more likely. These reports do not identify high confidence evidence for a research-related incident, find no evidence that WIV possessed SARS-CoV-2 or a closely related virus before the end of December 2019, and conclude that it is unlikely that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered (6, 14, 15).

Are there any harms of promoting the zoonotic origin hypothesis without evidence?
Yes but that's not what happened as there is plenty of evidence for this and past events of similar nature in the region so it's more than a hypothesis, it's a valid theory and very likely a fact instead of a IMO talk show ranting point designed to smear good people like Dr. Anthony Fauci.

No need to rehash the past as it is done. Let's hope the next time we can do better.
