WSJ News Exclusive - Possible Early Covid-19 Cases in China Emerge During WHO Mission! ... wait, we investigated and actually those weren't early COVID-19 cases. But fuck it, we already wrote the article,so here we go. :man-facepalming:

    Need the ages. Also why don't they have a hell of a lot more in December? 80 in Oct/Nov would mean 100s in Dec.

    Agree - also agree with this: "Marion Koopmans, a Dutch virologist on the WHO team, echoed that concern. "From what we know about serology, out of 92 cases you would at least have some positives," she said." She right - if they were doing the tests right there would be some positives. What about that Italian4 year old with the supposed positive pcr - they could test his blood for antibodies. Almost inconceivable they didn't.

    Was he really that important for COVID or is that his self-created myth?

    The reporting on the WHO mission has been largely shit.

    WaPo kinda started the shit slide - but they have been shit about it for quite sometime. Same with WSJ.

    WSJ started it when they published the Chan/Ridley BS. Expected them to take the Trump/China virus line. Yes - WashPost shit editorial opened the shit floodgates. The rest is a mish mash of AntiCCP, antiGOF anti GMO, antiscience agitators.
