You misunderstand me. I'm not referring to the virulence nor the deadliness of Covid-19. More to the tangential "scientific discoveries" that were credulously reported as they were published by doctors with little review or time to coroborate. Some examples
-claims about hydroxychloroquine
-claims about various other drug cocktails
-claims of a new covid related inflammatory disease in children
-claims about transmissibility to animals from humans
Just to name a few.
- Scoundreller 5y ago> claims about transmissibility to animals from humans I think that ones true, no? Ferrets, big cats, house cats , dogs, bats and mink (with hundreds of mink to human spread in Denmark) seem to be able to get it. Probably a bunch of primates too beyond gorillas. But not chickens and pigs (in the small study I dug up). https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30089-6/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/animals.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/... This is all a big deal since it means that, even if we vaccinate every human, it might stick around in wildlife and re-infect humans again after it mutates or as immunity decays.
- DubiousPusher 5y agoIt's not about whether it's true or not. It's about whether the media could know it was true in the time they reported it. Which they could not because they reported it before any study could be done.
