World News@lemmy.world•UN report finds United Nations reports are not widely readEnglish
15·4 months agoSuch texts are boring not because of their content but because of how they are written. The style of these texts is almost intended to prevent the reader from getting anything out of them. It’s believed that just by publishing these manuals and reports they meet a certain standard of democracy. But what this kind of writing does is to turn people away from reading. Such writing is, therefore, antidemocratic.

The “pro-Kremlin” smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

World News@lemmy.ml•Covid-19 social distancing was not based on scientific data, Fauci admits
11·2 years agoThis article is literally quoting the official press release of the committee’s chairman:
Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating “it sort of just appeared.”
Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.
Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.
