Actually I knew about Shi's work early on because I talked with experts on the field and I shared all this info without problems.
The urge to ban that info in social sites came much later, when politicians got the message and considered that info dangerous(and because the West depended on Chinese supplies).
Most politicians are so dumb from the scientific and technical side that it took a long time for them to understand.
But it gives us and important lesson: If we want to inform ourselves, we should use alternatives to centralized social media.
- armada651 5y agoI don't think you need to make conspiratorial allegations about the info being judged "dangerous" to explain it. It simply got politicized just as masks got politicized. The more one side advocates it the more the other side discredits it.
- nobodyandproud 5y agoExcept in this case, the left tried to discredit it. If Trump kept his mouth shut, it may have gone down differently (that is, less politicized).
- ravel-bar-foo 5y agoTrump saying something should have no bearing on whether it is true or whether it deserves consideration by the public. I see this as the media over-reacting to Trump (and to Tom Cotton) and now they have egg on their faces.
