COVID doesn't appear in Google search when I type this book. And there's fact checks saying NO... Lemme double check reddit about this fake news

Lol, but i thought i could absolutely trust gaggle or some factcheck to give me the honest truth on a matter.

Sarcasm aside, someone did claim a different location than wuhan in one of the editions or something

Not amenable to modern disease control methods? I know I'm dumb, but that just doesn't make sense.

Unless it's typical new age speak that modern medicine disease control methods are bunk and one should go with old school tried-and-true preventative, prophylaxis therapeutics, lol.

They tried to "debunk" a book written in 1981 when that came out, which was really stupid of the MSM. They just don't want to admit the lab threw away a bunch of lab animals and some gook pulled it out of the dumpster sold them at his wet market.

That was by no means the only example of "predictive programming" that turned up in the SF genre, the early 1960's was to many ppl the Golden Age of science fiction, stories appeared in Analog Magazine and Astounding Science Fiction that described the i'net to a tee, there was plenty of other stuff not limited to rocketry and space travel .. many of the authors who submitted to the "pulp" SF mags did indeed have a background in science. The Real Science of Science Fiction.

Yeah. I remember a lot of real free speech in Sci-Fi from XX century.
