"Suggested a viral infection was causing them to die off in large numbers" was what Dr. Miller said. The study couldn't definitively say that it was a virus or if it could cause disease.
Yes, this is fabulous to see because now many like Chris don't have to trust a filtered and edited version from Ms Morton which is misleading. Now the media can question the scientists directly. Morton in the above example shows how she was really no better than the government of the day who would stifle media interviews. Both were not interested with the public getting the facts.
The measures by the previous Harper Government wasn't so much muzzling but it was the numerous hoops and hurdles that a reporter had to go through in order to interview a scientist in the federal government. Requests had to be vetted by communications which took forever to be acted on. By the time the interview or response was provided it was either much too late or not very informative. So, in essence, it might as well be characterized as muzzling because the information wasn't really flowing.
Nowadays, as the articles states, it's much more streamlined and easier to set up these media interviews. Now Chris doesn't have to rely on Morton's interpretation. Talking about changing behaviour.... maybe this will change her behaviour on how she interprets results from scientists like Dr. Miller because after Cohen critics like Morton consistently misinterpreted or omitted key information from scientists like Miller. Maybe Morton can now "get out of the way" and let the facts come out instead of having information filtered through her.
No one is asking her? Well, I'm sure Morton owns a phone or has a computer with internet service so she could ask Dr. Miller directly. Miller talks about the virus Morton has been tracking? Lol. Morton subtly implies that she is part of mainstream science but she is anything but mainstream. Taking a cruise on a sail boat taking pictures and video and posting on social media is not mainstream science. It's called propaganda. Viruses can be dangerous, but so is misinformation and a misinformed public.
