Greta Thunberg added to CNN’s expert coronavirus panel, Twitter erupts

An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature 17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts.

The program, “Coronavirus Facts and Fears,” also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71, and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.

However, social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.

“What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?” asks Twitter rabble-rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.

Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.

In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: “I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

Shows how childish CNN and their liberals are, that a child can add to their conversations.

Greta needs to be there to promote intersectionality on all sorts of levels.

I just now sent this to my colleague and buddy Susan Olsen to show to Mike. I’m sure he’ll laugh.

Apparently the CO2 levels at Mauna Loa are still increasing [at least when the instruments aren’t downwind of the O2 generating woods] even though many peeps are burning less gasoline these days.

She’s not an “expert” anything! She is just an advocate for a particular political view (using “climate change” as a prop). She knows as much about epidemiology as she knows String Theory.

As it is just a popularity contest she could win the thing.

Nobody who promotes music on such contests actually CARES about good music.

Yeah, "top x-spurts" is a stretch isn't it. Says something about the rabble rouser's depth of knowledge. And not in a good way.😂🔬💉💀😵😷
