Trump declared war against fake news but why not against CDC’s Aids – Ebola false information?

Donald Trump declared war against fake news but not against false information about HIV-aids and Ebola

Donald Trump’s political campaign slogan was “America first,” but actually while in office, he wasted so much of his time exchanging words with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, work on the assassination of Iran’s top general, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, fighting against the ‘Fake News,’ and did little to prevent the COVID 19 disaster, in the United States of America.

However, Trump’s fight against fake news has a limit. He never made any attempt to fight the fake news or false information about HIV-Aids and Ebola, on thousands of health websites across the globe, including that of the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, BBC, and CNN, despite calling the latter fake news.

It is worth asking if some media employs certain health writers to produce false health articles either to suppress information or to protect organizations such as the World Health Organization or the Center for Diseases Control for their daily bread.

There are thousands of false articles about Aids and Ebola circulating on the internet. Trump says he is fighting against ‘Fake news’ but thousands of false medical articles about the two diseases and that of the World Health Organization and Center for Diseases Control on their websites aren’t a matter of concern to him.

So why Trump wouldn’t like to ask CDC and WHO the reason they have provided misleading and false information on Aids and Ebola to the general public if he is really fighting against fake news or false information? Smartness is a form of stupidity indeed, the reason politicians are fighting tirelessly against crime without any significant result. 

It’s shocking when one reads some of these false articles about Aids and Ebola in respectable newspapers such as ‘the Independent.Co.UK/news. On Friday, September 30, 2016, of the Independent newspaper, was an article about Ebola entitled ‘Ebola: The secret hideout of the virus,’ written by one Leigh Cowart.

According to Cowart, “Searches so far have focused on forested parts of Africa, the home of a number of possible reservoirs.” Classically, bats have been considered the most likely culprits, given that they overlap with humans geographically and can carry Ebola infection without symptoms. 

Based on research that has tested a wide variety of small mammals, bats, primates, insects, and amphibians, several species of fruit bat have emerged as possible candidates. 

A 2005 study published in Nature and helmed by Eric Leroy tested more than 1, 000 small vertebrates in central Africa and found evidence of symptomless Ebola infection in three species of fruit bat, suggesting that these animals – which are sometimes hunted for bushmeat – might be Ebola’s reservoir. 

An editor’s summary ran alongside the paper, titled simply: ‘Ebola virus: don’t eat the bats’. But not everyone is convinced that fruit bats are to blame. 

Notes from the writer (Joel Savage)

Leigh Cowart  or the editor knew perfectly well that the article he published doesn’t make sense the reason they added “But not everyone is convinced that fruit bats are to blame.”
