I must of course first disclaim that I do not stand on any side on these issues. I just want people to always think critically and keep a fact checking page on handy. It feels that especially with issues surrounding the current pandemic a lot of language is being used to emotionally charge and manipulate rather than inform on both sides. Therefore, I invite you to read whatever you are reading on the matter but also read the following articles to perhaps better understand the nuances and scrub off all the subtle manipulation you might face.
Oh I must say that some of these also use emotionally charged language, especially in the title (ugh how much I hate emotionally charged titles but I guess journalism can't do without them right....?)

Honestly, we're all trying to understand what's happening around us and there's nothing wrong with questioning what we might be unsure of. I would be glad to discuss your opinions on this as well. I feel there are possible biases everywhere of course but hopefully we can reach a good plateau for discussion!
