>A recently published study in The Lancet, the British medical journal, forecast that at present rates the defunding will cost 9.4 million lives by 2030, including 2.5 million children under the age of 5.
The same Lancet that published the infamous Peter Daszak letter, that unequivocally relegated lab leak hypothesis to a conspiracy theory -- without disclosing his ties with Wuhan Institute of virology.
I am sorry, no person with common sense will trust this journal again. Not to mention the adjacent institutions and media.
A position as flagrantly immodest & totally polarizing as this has imo no legs to stand on.
A famous medical journal from 1823 that made some people really mad once is probably, even if those completely over the top wildly over emotional ridiculous complaints are true, is probably not irredeemably lost forever.
This sort of immature ultra polarizing view, that instigates and spreads distrust: I'm tired of angry voices trying to break reality. No one should ever fall for a movie so shrill and so polarized, so wildly agitated, making such ridiculous grandiose claims as these!
It is a deep deep deep misdeed to work so hard to fray the social bonds, to fray reality like you are doing. "No person with common sense" should be mislead by such easily cast broadly overarching incredibly narrowly focused destructive energy. If this distrust and frustration were expressed with some nuance and reasonability, I could at least tolerate the dissent. But I object strongly to anyone working so hard to sunder reality as this, to soe such deep deep dissent: a journal will not nor ought not be ruined forever for such an event as this. This is grossly irresponsibly polarizing & destructive, and we owe it to each other to show some ability to keep calm and be real.
