    So out of curiosity because I shit on MAGA for this all the time. This is a special interest story trying to make us feel a certain way isn’t it? It’s not about statistics or facts. It’s about a feeling. It’s manipulative.

    What is that message the author wants us to feel

      It’s not even true. The article has been retracted because they mixed people up and it was a woman who tested negative that was told it was anxiety.

        My question is, what does that say about us? What is the message the author knew would work on us?

        This is by definition a special interest story. It might as well be a story about an elderly women feeding ducks by the pond.
