Same reason that ivermectin and chloroquine are demonized. Trump mentioned them.

I feel this should a broader admission due to his the media always seem to go against anything Trump said. I feel if Trump had spoken about the health of benefits of jogging, news sites would find a way to link jogging with white supremacy.

I wonder what else Trump was right about

We are living through an era of politicised medicine and corporatised science.

I hope reason becomes fashionable soon.

Chan said there had been trepidation among some scientists about publicly discussing the lab leak hypothesis for fear that their words could be misconstrued or used to support racist rhetoric about how the coronavirus emerged. Trump fueled accusations that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research lab in the city where the first Covid-19 cases were reported, was connected to the outbreak, and on numerous occasions he called the pathogen the "Wuhan virus" or "kung flu."

      I'm still waiting for concrete isolation of any of these flus (and alleged strains).

      "Isolation" via a computer generated model is a joke.

      Anyone who defends it is either ignorant, or willfully deceitful.

      It seems as if no matter what Trump said or did, these scum would do the opposite and call him racist, xenophobic, whatever.

      They denied it because they were protecting Fauci. Jews always cover for other jews.

      I didn’t believe that until I saw it for myself: a school nurse at a Jewish school was fired for reporting a (((dad))) who was brutally whipping his little boy. I no longer work there and will never again work in such a (((school))).
