SeattleRain comments on Chinese scientists develop cure for diabetes, insulin patient becomes medicine-free in just 3 months

Why is everyone online so incredulous of this breakthrough? Is it just Sinophobia or are there reasons to doubt Chinese medical findings?

There’s reason to doubt all sensationalist medical headlines

But this is 1 patient, no long term effects studied (just doesn’t need insulin injections), and hasn’t been validated

Nothing to do with China

Because in the past we've seen a number of similar headlines that never became reality, so people are naturally skeptical.

Their Covid vaxx was trash. My aunt's friend was a UAE resident, and got sinovac Covid shot. He later caught and died from covid, so that's my anecdotal reason not to trust it, but if it is true, this would be a great thing.

you're an idiot if you're basing assumption that on your dead aunt.

You're an idiot if you can't read a whole 2 sentences and grasp any sort of reading comprehension.
