It is said “The first casualty of war is the Truth”. This pandemic is far worse because of China’s suppression of the facts. Most important fact is SARS CoV2 is easily transmitted from human to human.
The Communist regime and the whole system is designed to protect the state and it’s reputation at all cost. If some facts are uncomfortable. Or some doctors disagree. Or reporters tell the truth. Suppress it by all means necessary.
We suffer the same thing here. But instead of suppressing it, we get confused. Instead of clarity, we get outrage. Instead of consensus, we have debate. Don’t like the truth? Plant doubt. The more outrageous the lie, the better. Just keep the flow high. Floods of bullshit can do wonders at obscuring the truth.
