It says a lot about the site when I'm immediately prompted to "ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE"... Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!

This isn't news, it's fear mongering propaganda. There's PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.
