"I think you missed my point: There's no point to public discussion. Governments, health departments, infectious disease specialists, should all be determining the source of COVID-19, and if someone was at fault, making changes to prevent it."
Is that not naive though? Without public discussion and pressure these entities would very likely sweep everything under the rug in the interest of their own careers, etc.
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoI think you'd have to be extremely cynical to believe there aren't informed parties with a vested interest in uncovering the truth. Obviously the United States would be very interested in knowing if misconduct in China created an extremely deadly and costly pandemic. Public health officials, believe it or not, probably mostly act in the interests of public health. And in the scenarios where systems fail, real journalists with a moral and ethical responsibility to responsible reporting should fill the gap... not crazy people running their own blog.
