It would be so much fun watching western media try to spin curing cancer as an evil communist plot though.
Yeah the Chinese and Russian vaccines came out like a year ahead of the US ones and the media just fearmongered about them not being safe
Reminder that, [Reuters]Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic
Whenever "The Commies" beat America to a medical breakthrough, it's indeed very fun to watch the Red Scare nonsense spewed by Western media.
I've noticed there's a lot of racism involved too; I recall the media's initial mockery and skepticism of Cuba when they revealed they'd had success with a lung cancer vaccine, or mockery of Iran in regards to their ability to reverse engineer drones, claiming no one there had the skills for it.
Yeah. That side of it is just sad and frustrating, the Red Scare type nonsense is at least funny.
Yup.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Eating burnt red meat while smoking reds with the filters ripped out to stick it to Beijing.
Does burnt red meat give you cancer?
In the IARC system, red meat is classed under 2A: which means it's probably carcinogenic. There's a strong link between heavy red meat consumption and bowel cancer compared to people who rarely consume or do not consume red meat. In fact, red meat is the example Wikipedia uses for group 2A.
Burnt food is IARC Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic. Acrylamide created by burning food has shown an increase in cancer in some lab animals but last I read it was inconclusive for humans as its rarely a staple diet for the vast majority of humans so it's hard to research.
I don’t…. What? Lol
Oh yeah? I had no idea that burnt stuff was carcinogenic. Not that I ever eat burnt stuff anyway.
Are you doing a bit? Not everyone knows burnt food is carcinogenic. Yes, some replies are in bad faith, but this isn't a politics discussion, it's about a fairly niche piece of knowledge.
no i think it was genuine asking. relax a little.
do yourself a favor and log off for a while
My deal is that I didn’t know burnt stuff was carcinogenic and I was just asking. I can’t possibly imagine what kind of argument you think we are having in your head buddy. At no point have we been having any kind of disagreement about anything you’ve said.
