Swiss biologist Chinese fake news
Aug 11^th, 2021 at 8:50pm

Bahahaha...

Chinese state media articles quoting a Swiss biologist accusing the US of politicising Covid origin investigations have been quietly deleted, after the Swiss government said no such person exists.

On 24 July, a Facebook post by an account named Wilson Edwards claimed to have witnessed or learned of US efforts to politicise the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 investigations from within.

Edwards cited unnamed WHO sources and “fellow researchers” complaining of having endured “enormous pressure and even intimidation from the US side as well as certain media outlets”.

“The WHO sources told me the US is so obsessed with attacking China on the origin-tracing issue that it is reluctant to open its eyes to the data and findings.”

Good on the Swiss. I would not trust anything the Chinese say, either.

The Chinese spend more on internal security than on national defence.

Quoting accusing politicising deleted.

Fifth story down, was it?

Are there any tinted races buried in all those verbs of yours, or are we expected to virtue signal on our own?

Still, you got a kiss from the old boy, so you're making some progress. Luck you mentioned Chinese.

They're cute and they're cuddly and they're ready to please, no?

Just so.

Does this superhero have time to rescue 'curries' like Ozpolitic aquatic superhero BananaFingers Haji Gordon.

Does this superhero hang out "behind the sheds at Bondi" like the Ozpolitic superhero?

Funny you should mention Curries. Gordon's been there. He went to Delhi in his youth.

A dirty, despicable race of people, Gordon got out as soon as he could.

At least he can say he's been there, no?

I listened to the ABC News Radio in my car last night (Wednesday) about this. The news item stated the Chinese authorities had been scrambling to erase all articles about this on their websites. I was surprised that the Chinese could be so concessional as to admit being wrong, when the Chinese usually blame the other people and stick to their story.
