DISINFO: Neoliberal countries don’t care about containing the coronavirus epidemic
SUMMARY
Neoliberal countries don’t care about containing the coronavirus epidemic because in these countries the economy is more important than the public interest. Here in Italy in order to contain the virus we have closed down everything and we are putting at risk our entire economy. Instead of gratitude for our efforts, foreign countries are humiliating us. A year from now the virus will come back to Italy imported from neoliberal countries that did nothing to contain it.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory. No evidence is given to support the article’s claim that neoliberal countries (that is, countries with free-market economies) “do not care” about fighting coronavirus and are doing nothing to contain it. Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the China coronavirus blaming US and the West for having spread the disease or for not doing anything to contain it. The fight against coronavirus is a global fight and all the countries have been putting efforts to contain epidemic and to find a vaccine.
