In Episode 51 [15] of the CounterVortex podcast [16], Bill Weinberg rants against the dangerous [17], irresponsible [18] and politically weaponized [19] claims being avidly propagated about COVID-19. In addition to paving the way for Facebook and other platforms being given greater power to censor content [20], these claims serve to delegitimize any critique of actual abuses of power [21] by the medical establishment, government and corporations. Worse, claims originating from social-media trolls and the yellow press [22] are being weaponized by the US State Department [23] and Chinese Foreign Ministry [24] as propaganda in their New Cold War. Whether the virus originated in a Chinese government lab in Wuhan [25] or the US government lab at Fort Detrick [26] is probably unknowable, and of limited relevance to the dilemma of how to resist the fast-consolidating biological police state [27].
