Astronomy

You didn't answer the question.

It's interesting how the article you linked presents the conclusion

microbial life is not ruled out by the new results; but the fact is that the original Labeled Release results make sense with the chemistry of Martian soil as it's now understood, no microbial life needed.

Meanwhile the paper it references concludes

the chlorine component of the chlorobenzene is martian, and the carbon molecule of the chlorobenzene is consistent with a martian origin, though we cannot fully rule out instrument contamination.

Which would seem to be the same thing but with opposite probability biases. Your link is twisting its source material.

This claim is actively harmful to science.

This is hyperbole.
