The air quality can be independently verified pretty easily, and we know that lower pollution reduces deaths.... so while your comment is trying to get a different point, it's not particularly good at doing so.

    If my comment upsets you then it was intended to: fuck China. If they want this research to have legitimacy they should put the researchers' or institution's name in the headline instead of China.

    Yes I absolutely can, and curiously here I am saying Fuck China and some demographic on the fediverse is REALLY upset about that.
