Also, a total blackout on the Waukesha drive through massacre.

The trial has been going on for a week and the Root is only now getting around to covering it? Also, a total blackout on the Waukesha drive through massacre. Is there anybody in the office?

It’s not the same!

Here’s an abacus! Go make ice cream like my grandfathers used to!

yeah, but, ice cream!

Bleeding out of the bottom

Dottie definitely dropped the ball on purpose. There’s absolutely no way she would transfer the ball from her glove to her right hand while falling down otherwise. The catcher will have the ball in her glove to make the tag and only take it out afterwards to show the umpire that they still have it. Otherwise they’re…

What good had he done. Shawn King isn’t the only activist that has a twitter account.

Also:

The issue is if it’s indeed natural transmission into a major city, then why would a country known for squashing information spent the past year coming up with propaganda rather than just let researchers to determine the origin so this wouldn’t happen again?

So the concern is that this was a modified virus. Scientists do this all the time, and for very legitimate purposes. These gain of function modifications often increase pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range and can be used to study which specific proteins are responsible for a virus’s function. Again, these…

People want “reasons” for why things happen, not simply “stuff happens”, but the reality is sometimes “stuff just happens”..

Well, if there was an explosion of massive destruction happened in Iraq near a military base, after years of bragging about how they have been researching that exact type of explosion, would it be BS to believe that explosion have something to do with the military base?

It was. The author chose to be outraged when the reality is no one, including the UN or WHO, can do an impartial investigation because China isn’t allowing it. There’s also no dispute that China initially covered up the outbreak, regardless of its point of origin. The danger we have is the countries that refuse to be…

For the most part, US based media ignores Asia in general, and China in particular. When they do report on China, it usually falls into the categories of, “Trade Imbalance”, “China is a superpower, is that OK?”, and “Look at this thing they built”.

Probably quite a bit. ABC, ESPN, CNN, NBC and MSNBC aren’t really capable of journalistic honesty in reporting on China because of how much their parent companies count on that market for revenue. As a result, most of the reporting on the Lab leak theory is by independent media companies, some of which are total…

Dismissing it outright feels naive at best, and fuels distrust of media and government.

Agree. I think as well the article seeming to offer scientists a carte blanche seems somewhat strange. Look - I’m a scientist and I think science has made the world a better place, but scientists are also human, and some of them can be reckless, and some (all?) governments can also be reckless.

The idea that Covid-19 either originated from the WVI or as a result of sample collection without proper PPE seems credible. Dismissing it outright feels naive at best, and fuels distrust of media and government.

If we’re gonna talk about the negative impact of going viral and how its effecting Tessica and her daughter, maybe we should just move on from talking about her at all. Unfortunately I think the Root has run about a dozen stories on her now so...
