  Kara personally wrote those? Isn't she responsible for Recode which got acquired by Vox for it's tech specific content?

  Vox was just pushing out what the CDC and mainstream media was saying during that time. I don't think its a great news publication but alot of those images were taken before anyone really knew about how the coronavirus spread or behaved.

  1. She didn't write these or even have a hand in writing these. 2. These are all from before the pandemic when people knew next to nothing about the coming virus. That is completely different from the hot takes of today that go completely against what is commonly understood, i.e. it's not "disinformation".

    > people knew next to nothing about the coming virus. Exactly. That's the point. They DIDN'T know. Yet these articles not only have been written with utter certainty, there was also a strong thought-policing tone. Don't you dare think COVID will become pandemic, you'll be tagged as racist and white supremacist. These tweets and news articles have caused great damage. Just because Vox is on the "right" political team, doesn't make it okay to spread disinformation. These tweets are not only politically motivated, there was also financial motivation behind them. Like Hollywood many people have made billions of dollars doing business deals with China. They want to appease China and keep making more billions. These people need to be called out.

If I had a podcast making 2 or 3 predictions twice a week I'd probably call a few things too.

  Isn’t Scott Galloway the guy who’s famous for all his predictions being wrong? https://galloway-index.webflow.io/ https://galloway-index.webflow.io/

    Taking a stand on things often leaves you on the wrong side of things. The reasoning behind the choice is often most interesting.
