Commenting again just to say I hate how medical science reporting often doesn't even cite the name of the researchers. Not only is this very disrespectful towards the people who put in a lot of work into the research (and usually even publishing their results for the world to see), but it also makes it incredibly hard to verify the facts of the story.

Naming them only as "Chinese scientists" is just insulting. And now all search results have been poisoned by people only citing what's in the SCMP article.

this is true for so many fields, in both science and art, the mass of people doing the bulk of the work get no recognition 😐
