Greta Thunberg added to CNN’s expert coronavirus panel, Twitter erupts

An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature 17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts.

The program, “Coronavirus Facts and Fears,” also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71, and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.

However, social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.

“What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?” asks Twitter rabble-rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.

Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.

In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: “I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

LOL! SRSLY? From X-spurt on CLIMAGEDDON to X-spurt on CORONAGEDDON in a flash. Guess her 15 on the climate was met so they had to figure a way for her to get another 15. This has gotten way beyond the point of absurdity. The entire panel are just wanna-be-somebodies. Where's manbearpig? Notice the twitter poster is referenced as a "rabble rouser'?

Among CNN staff and sources the 17 year old is eminently qualified....

Stacking their panel with serious global pandemic experts. This is why people look to CNN for serious news.

The topic is arachnophobia. Greta, are spiders good or bad?

The topic is photophobia. Greta, are you more scared of sunlight than your co-guest Count Dracula?

The topic is hydrophobia. Greta, please quit biting the other guests with your foamy hypersalivating mouth.

She's an expert on everything.

They are committed at this point.

And there is NO WAY that they can spin this in a way that makes them look good.

Greta there, as comic relief?

Greta there, to give us her in depth knowledge about virology,and immunity and infection rates?

Honestly, would it be any different, or worse, if they added on the bill a Pomeranian doing stupid pet tricks?

Shouldn’t she telecommute to save the planet, or at least Socialist Distance?

Which also says that all this whole virus BS was deliberately released, and that the RATs were in collusion with the CCP to release it.
There’s a lot of RATs & UniParty hacks that ought to be publicly hanged for this. It’s mass murder, treason, genocide, crimes against humanity, etc....yeah, they should be doing the rope dance publicly.
