Fact checking the fact checkers

Sometimes, things do not add up - from Zero Hedge:

Facebook 'Fact Checker' Worked At Wuhan Biolab; Ruled Out Virus-Leak While 'Debunking' Articles
A Facebook fact checker who has 'debunked' articles suggesting that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has a giant conflict of interest; she worked at the institute - which is now suspected of accidentally leaking the hyper-virulent virus which has killed over 130,000 people and cast the global economy into chaos.

Danielle Anderson, who works at Duke University's NUS Medical School lab in Singapore, also contributes to Science Feedback - which Facebook has been using to slap "False Information" labels on articles claiming that COVID-19 may have originated at the Wuhan institute - where Anderson worked with bat coronavirus.

A quick search of Anderson's publications reveals no fewer than nine collaborations with Dr. Peng Zhou - a Wuhan scientist experimenting on bat coronavirus (the mention of whom may result in a Twitter ban).

Brings to mind the old saying (first or second century): Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Seems like Facebook took the easy route out and took their fact checker at face value - after all, her debunking fit the narrative. The Chinese are our friends in globalism. Globalism is the modern way to go. We are all globalists now.

Bzzzzztttt - sorry guys, I do not "do" narrative, I do facts.
