What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

    Jeffrey Sachs

    Is there a reason we would give more credence to an economist when discussing a pandemic rather than listening to the consensus of epidemiologists around the world?

      The authority being highlighted wasn’t Jeffrey Sachs on his own, but The Lancet.

        Fair enough. Though he was named directly and is still just an economist.

        Besides I’ve read the paper now. All it says is there there is still the possibility of the virus having been released due to a research related incident.

        That’s a far cry from “CIA bioweapon” like the OOP believes.
