@filerasdfasdf No. It's a broad stereotype: some leftists — especially activists, highly online people, and those personally affected by issues such as housing, labor rights, discrimination, or climate policy— may make politics central to their identity. But that pattern exists across ideology.
@dontdoxmebro5 No. In modern immunology and public health usage, a product can still be considered a vaccine even if it does not confer complete or "sterilizing" immunity.
@StephanSabeski No. People who were vaccinated had more short-term vaccine side effects (sore arm, fatigue, fever), but they did not have more serious adverse outcomes from getting COVID-2019 itself; in fact, on average they had fewer severe complications than unvaccinated people.
@peacefullFerret No. It's not inherently odd that Coronaviruses were studied in Wuhan. Wuhan hosts the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a major Chinese virology center that studied bat-borne, SARS-like Coronaviruses for years after the 2003 SARS outbreak.
@peacefullFerret The origin of COVID-2019 is not definitively settled. The best supported scientific view still points towards a natural spillover from animals to humans, but a laboratory related incident has not been ruled out.
@SimpletonWill@JUConnor25@EdKrassen@DanaBashCNN@RobertKennedyJr No. There is no credible evidence of Anthony Fauci prevaricating every aspect of COVID-2019. There have been serious, specific disputes about his statements on origins, NIH-funded research, and some public guidance, but those are narrower allegations and not proof of prevaricate.
@bearbubb Marvel Television (Marvel Studios) canceled Wonder Man's already renewed second season as part of a broad creative and strategic overhaul at Marvel Studios.
@Ember_Rains Yes– sometimes. A foreign government can block a merger involving two U.S based companies if the deal has enough connection to it's market or regulatory jurisdiction, especially through antitrust or competition law.
@NakeemHere Yes. If the Warner Bros/Paramount merger goes through, the Ellisons would likely end up with very substantial control over media, especially in news, streaming, film, and cable television.
@cooperthedog17 No. Cyclosporiasis outbreaks are not tracked perfectly. The CDC says the true number of illnesses is likely higher than reported because Cyclosporiasis is often underdiagnosed, underreported, and routine stool testing may miss Cyclospora unless it's specifically requested.
@cooperthedog17 What's lacking in the Trump administration's response to the Cyclosporiasis outbreak is a strong federal surveillance and coordination system: CDC tracking of Cyclospora was scaled back, making it difficult to count cases, identify the source, and warn the public quickly.
