I didn't click the link because I don't want to give them views. Unlimited WHATABOUTISM replies when you point out the United States is currently dealing with Bird Flu, Listeria, and more covid variants because Americans won't mask, vaccinate, or quarantine.
This is good though? The more the media reports on the natural origins of Covid over weird bioweapon conspiracies the better
Watch and be amazed as the story becomes "the dirty unsanitary chineses are coming to eat your pets, just like the Haitans". This is NPR, they've been hemming and hawwing and helping whitewash the current genocide under the veneer of soft heartfelt liberal "inquisitiveness". They serve the interests of empire for people who think they're too smart for maga bullshit. If they're taking the coverage in this direction, I have zero faith in them not doing so as the groundwork for something evil, like laundering pet-eating stories for their rapidly-being-scratched audience.
I mean, fine I guess. That’s a lot of conjecture but I can’t argue with having no faith in npr and other mainstream news. But I find it weird that this is in the dunk tank when just a year or two ago the mainstream press was pushing “Covid was made in a Chinese lab” extremely heavily. Seeing npr support the consensus view on Covid origins in one of their stories makes me breathe a sigh of relief. Where they end up going with it yeah, I don’t know, your criticisms are on point and maybe you’re right. But this isn’t that, not yet.
