Best Posts in Thread: Covid-19 Opinion

The majority of voters world wide don't know even the basics of standard scientific research. In this case, whether true or false, on a the discovery of a new strain of SARS CoV-2 found in bats. This is quite normal research and without such research scientists would have no way of understanding for example the morphogenesis of the virus (how it changes over time). Thankfully today we have some idea of how these things work and we are better prepared to tackle them. So in a rare admission I give thanks to the US for their apparent funding of this now I'm sure, important research.

 

The first link implies the SARS-CoV2 came from the Wuhan lab without giving any source to back that up. They also jump to some incorrect conclusions with the sources they do provide: such as saying the US (implying that it is the government doing it) is wanting to blame China because civil cases are being filed by American citizens. Citizens can file civil cases for any reason against any person, entity or government they want and they do it all the time...that doesn't mean the cases will be won or even see their day in front of a judge or jury.

It looks like very sh*t reporting with an extremely obvious agenda. Looking at Miss Lin's other articles it seems very obvious, IMO, her articles rely far more on opinion and agenda than serious journalism. Seems she is a bit of a snowflake and a sensationalist fear mongering hack and Chinese apologist. Example: she writes of "interment camps for Chinese Americans?" (If there is a question asked in an article's title the answer is almost always "no, there is no evidence to support the question".)

She also writes of "China might take Iran’s side in a war with US" where she goes on to say we are in the middle of a cold war while pointing to a source that says no such thing. She is a hack and Asia Times' editors don't seem too concerned with verifying their writers' sources.
