  • " Several of the researchers are associated with public security authorities in China, a fact that “voids any notion of free informed consent”, said Yves Moreau, a professor of engineering at the University of Leuven, in Belgium, who focuses on DNA analysis. Moreau first raised concerns about the papers with Hart, MGGM’s editor-in-chief, in March 2021.

    One retracted paper studies the DNA of Tibetans in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, using blood samples collected from 120 individuals. The article stated that “all individuals provided written informed consent” and that work was approved by the Fudan University ethics committee.

    But the retraction notice published on Monday stated that an ethical review “uncovered inconsistencies between the consent documentation and the research reported; the documentation was not sufficiently detailed to resolve the concerns raised”. "

    Weird. So they had written consent forms for the blood samples, but the forms weren't detailed enough(?), and anyway you can't trust anyone associated with the Chinese gvmt? Is that what they're saying?

    This seems like weird reactionary virtue signalling.

  • "wage growth ... could lead to inflationary pressures becoming entrenched"

    Never mind the report from the bank of England saying that the vast majority of the current inflation is due to increased corporate profits (price gouging bastards). No, if the struggling poor ask for their wages to keep up with prices then "inflationary pressures become entrenched".

    Actually evil. These people have nothing but contempt for you. "You will suffer, and you will say thank you, or we will raise your rent again".

  • Weird way to assign blame. It's not the Democratic party's fault for having bad policies, it's the public's fault for not supporting the Democrats regardless of their policies. If Biden loses it's because his party made bad decisions.
