SARS-CoV-2: conspiracy theories and politics

@Sam

Did it contain the words massive negligent homicide?
Just search for the word homicide in the article.

Why would it need to contain those particular words? Do you not know the distinction between negligent homicide and other homicides?

@Sam

That justification has taken a long time in coming, and it looks like it will have to be very much walked back before anything like a justification arrives. It appears no one here has made such an outlandish claim.

@Sam

Isn’t that rather like asking the one on trial if they committed the crime. Of course, they have the right to testify to the crime they are being charged with. But one expects the defendant to deny any culpability, even if they are guilty. And that this is coming from China? Do they even acknowledge what they did in Tiananmen square?
