@taxiya provided a screenshot of the first article on the front page of BBC. You had to search to find the follow up article.

That's plenty of evidence right there. Why do you feel the need to make suppositions? If you have evidence of the follow up article also being on the front page, then show it.

People act like this is a settled question because we've been seeing this kind of behavior for years from all Western media.
No, he just provided a regular screenshot of the article, nothing to do with the front page. See the same thing for the other one. So still zero evidence.

Read the headline "Dr. Fauci says it appears Covid strain from Danish mink farms won’t be a problem for vaccines", then read the article. This headline is pure bunk. I have to question if the headline is the main takeaway from this story. MSM is so selling a narrative and not focus on informing and serving public interest. If this farm is in China, The headline will be the opposite and totally sensationalist.

FYI: The WHO said it is a “long, long way” from deciding on whether the virus mutation may have any implications for diagnostics or vaccines and has urged for people not to jump to any conclusions.

The deal with vaccines is that you try to target highly conserved epitopes which don't change much. Or else it loses function. This is to minimize effect of mutations.

Spike is one of those proteins.

You're the one who totally missed the point. BBC plastered the halting of the trial all over its front page, but you had to go and search for the article reporting the resumption of the trial. THAT is the point.

If you're trying to claim that Western media does not play these kind of propaganda games, then you're the one who's the liar!
Selective reporting is one way of shaping opinion, but selective signal boosting is a much more insidious and "deniable" way of shaping opinions.


I think it's called framing. A psychological why of shaping public opinion.

It wasn't. You can easily use web archive to search for it these past few days. You are not going to find it.

Got anything to say?
Assuming you're right, I can say that I'm glad that only some initially unsourced claims on SDF turn out to be false once checked. I'm also glad I didn't take a side on the question before seeing the evidence.
