A Facebook fact-checker, as part of the social media platform's efforts to weed out misinformation about the origins of the coronavirus, cited as an expert a donor for Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the virus potentially originated.

Science Feedback, one of Facebook's chief fact-checking platforms, in a February 2020 "fact check" cited Peter Daszak as an expert source in its ruling that there was "no evidence" to support the theory that the COVID-19 virus leaked from the

Daszak has become well known as a major bankroller of coronavirus experiments at the Wuhan lab in the years leading up to the pandemic. At least one major virologist has claimed that Daszak's nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance, helped fund lab experiments that were then used in risky "gain-of-function" virology research.

There he is again... Daszak.. This time being cited as a "source" for Facebook "fact checkers".

Unreal!

That’s Dr. Fallacy’s bagman to launder the money to the ChiCom Wuhan lab.

It was illegal to do so.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.

“fact checker”: euphemism
“racist”: usually a dysphemism
