No Correction from AP on Unfounded News of Human Death from Bird Flu

The Associated Press is capable of very quickly issuing "fact checks" when it suits them especially when they are supportive of Joe Biden in some way. However, when a major story AP published about a bird flu death turned out to be, well, fake news, nary a peep of correction from them as of this writing. I am referring to the AP story written by Lauran Neergsard on Wednesday which blasted out this headline: "Man in Mexico died of a bird flu strain that hadn’t been confirmed before in a human, WHO says."

There was enough information about underlying conditions for AP to REFRAIN from positively declaring the cause of death as Bird Flu. Oh, and then no followup correction by AP. They are still letting their original FAKE NEWS story hang out there.

Of course they’re not going to retract it or.modify it. They WANT us scared out of our minds. Scared people are easier to control.

Gee,
Bird Flu has been around for thousands of years, I won’t get too excited.

They’re hoping that people will forget that it was revealed to be fake, and they can use this story as the post to document when the next pandemic started.
