This WSJ opinion piece has the title "Anthony Fauchi Fesses Up", not "It turns out the six-feed social-distancing rule had no scientific basis", as the current HN title sys.

The opinion piece also says

> the six-feet rule for social distancing “sort of just appeared” without a solid scientific basis. That’s one of the admissions that Members of Congress say the former National Institutes of Health potentate made this week in two days of closed-door testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Not having "solid scientific basis" is not the same as "no scientific basis", and even that quote presumably comes second-hand, given that it's from closed-door testimony.
