Trump ændrer ‘Corona’ til ‘Chinese virus’ i tale, 2020; Foto: Time)

Flere medier tørrede overfald på asiater af på Donald Trump, fordi han brugte udtrykket ‘Chinese virus’. Overfaldene blev hovedsageligt begået af sorte amerikanere, men det var alligevel den her farlige ‘white supremacist’, der stod bag. Det minder lidt om konspirationerne der flyder på nettet om samarbejde mellem nazister og jøder, og som ‘Arier’ kommenterede i gårsdagens post om en LGBT-opera: “Det er hvad der sker når det jødiske samfund får magten i et ikke-jødisk samfund.”.

De fleste konspirationer er blot konspirationer, men hvem skal vogte vogterne? En historie fra Wall Street Journal- Facebook Ends Ban on Posts Asserting Covid-19 Was Man-Made (27. maj 2021).

“Facebook Inc. has ended its ban on posts asserting Covid-19 was man-made or manufactured, a policy shift that reflects a deepening debate over the origins of the pandemic that was first identified in Wuhan, China, almost 18 months ago.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report.

‘In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps,’ Facebook said in a statement on its website Wednesday.

President Biden on Wednesday ordered a U.S. intelligence inquiry into the origins of the virus. The White House has come under pressure to conduct its own investigation after China told the World Health Organization that it considered Beijing’s part of the investigation complete, calling for efforts to trace the virus’s origins to shift into other countries.

Earlier this month a group of 18 prominent scientists called for a deeper investigation into the circumstances in which the virus emerged, including the possibility that a laboratory accident released it.“
