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.

    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.
