You are living in fear of COVID and enabling Communism because of that fear. Control of other people and control of all narratives is one of the essences of Communism. You just don't like it when you are correctly called a Communist. Now, the UN is getting into the act of controlling narratives. You see how quickly freedom of speech disappears when Communists rule the land? This is what you and your fellow Communists have done...the certain destruction of freedom of speech. The infantilizing of American adults. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you have no ability to engage in introspection and no ability to admit when you are wrong. ------ UN Dubs Self 'Trusted' Pandemic News Source, Teams Up With World Economic Forum To Encourage 'New Social Norms' The United Nations has 'launched a counter-attack' against coronavirus misinformation - by teaming up with the World Economic Forum to battle coronavirus misinformation and other 'potentially dubious content.'

The new initiative also seeks to rope social media influencers into spreading 'real news' about the pandemic - which we assume means nothing to do with hydroxychloroquine, incredibly low fatality rates for most people below retirement age, or anyone even slightly opposed to business-killing lockdowns. One also has to wonder how the UN and WEF would cover egregious flip-flops from global health authorities on everything from transmissibility to mask use. Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China????. pic.twitter.com/Fnl5P877VG— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) January 14, 2020 Regardless, the UN's campaign is steadfast in their self-determined authority as arbiters of all things COVID. "So far, we've recruited 110,000 information volunteers, and we equip these information volunteers with the kind of knowledge about how misinformation spreads and ask them to serve as kind of 'digital first-responders' in those spaces where misinformation travels," said Flemming.
