      Seems like a bad take. This is from the equivalent of some random YouTube video, unrelated to the original university & scientists.

      You think it’d be possible to find a YouTube video with some bad science nonsense in it? Would that warrant a “fraud in the US, huh” comment?

      Separately, science in China does have a fraud problem. But this video wasn’t an example of that.
