Scientific journal apologizes for saying coronavirus came from China even though it did

The only problem with the apology? The coronavirus came from China. Linking the virus and the country is an indisputable scientific fact.

Nature claims that its "early coverage of the global health crisis by itself and other media had led to racist attacks on people of Asian descent around the world."

The reasoning behind Nature apologizing for stating a scientific fact is that it caused stigmatization of China and Asian people: "It’s clear that since the outbreak was first reported, people of Asian descent around the world have been subjected to racist attacks, with untold human costs."

WHO director Tedros Ghebreyesus recently cried racism when confronted with the fact that his organization failed to accept Taiwan's evidence that the coronavirus was spread person-to-person back in January.

The very notion of choosing political correctness over science is absurd, and it's only setting us back in our fight against the coronavirus. This kind of nonsense must be exposed for what it is—empty, anti-scientific virtue signalling. It must stop.
