Yau, Maris 31, 2022, kanun labarai a cikin New York Times ya karanta: "An yi taka tsantsan yayin da Jihohi ke sassauta Yaƙin Cutar" tare da ƙaramin jigon "Damuwa da Muryar Masana a matsayin Bambance-bambancen Yaduwa."
Labarin ya ƙunshi shafi mai sakin layi 7 a shafi na gaba kuma ya ci gaba da cika rabin shafi duka a ciki.
Mutumin da ya fuskanci irin wannan kanun labarai a zahiri ya tambayi kansa: Wane labari mai daɗi ne ya jawo wannan labari ba kawai a shafin farko na wata babbar jaridar ƙasar ba, amma a sama? Shin kwamitin kwararrun SARS-CoV-2 ya fitar da sanarwa? Su wane ne "masana" kuma a wace dandalin ne suke "damuwa da damuwa?" Shin akwai taron manema labarai ko sanarwar da wani mai kula da manufofin Covid ya yi?
Amsoshin da mai karatu ya tara daga sakin layi bakwai na farko na labarin su ne, a zahiri, babu wani lamari da ya jawo labarin, kuma babu wata sanarwa ko dandalin tattaunawa ko taron manema labarai ko sanarwa. Sauran labarin ya tabbatar da wannan rashin cikakken labarai na gaskiya.
To, mai karatu yayi tunani. To, su wane ne waɗannan ƙwararrun da ke bayyana damuwa? Wataƙila ’yan jaridar sun zana tattaunawa ta musamman tare da fitattun masana cututtukan cututtuka ko shugabannin kiwon lafiyar jama'a waɗanda suka ba da gargaɗi mai mahimmanci waɗanda ke da mahimmanci don tallata. Ta sake nazarin talifin, ta kai ga sakin layi na bakwai kafin a ambaci wasu “ƙwararrun” kwata-kwata.
An bayyana na farko a matsayin "Dr. Ben Weston, babban mai ba da shawara kan harkokin kiwon lafiya na gundumar Milwaukee, Wis," kuma an jiyo shi yana cewa lokacin da jirgin ruwa ya tashi daga babban igiyar ruwa "zai zama wani bakon lokaci don jefar da riguna na rai." Don haka… babu abin da ya dace, a fannin likitanci ko kimiyya, ko ta kowace hanya mai taimako a wurin.
Binciken Google mai sauri yana haifar da waɗannan bayanai game da takaddun shaidar Dr. Weston: Shi Mataimakin Farfesa ne a Magungunan Gaggawa kuma Babban Mashawarcin Manufofin Lafiya na gundumar Milwaukee. Yana kula da ayyukan kiwon lafiya na sassan kashe gobara 15 kuma yana yin aikin likitancin gaggawa a Cibiyar Taimako na Mataki na 1. Koyarwarsa tana cikin aikin likitancin gaggawa da sabis na kiwon lafiya na gaggawa. Bukatun bincikensa sun haɗa da "kulawa kafin asibiti, farfaɗowa, daidaiton lafiya da sa ido kan lafiyar jama'a."
Ya zuwa yanzu, yana kama da Dr. Weston yana da ƙwarewa da ƙwarewa a cikin maganin gaggawa. Babu inda mai karatu ya sami wani ambaton horo, ƙwarewa ko bincike a cikin cututtukan cututtukan gabaɗaya ko SARS-CoV-2 musamman.
Don haka me yasa Dr. Weston ya zama “kwararre” na farko da aka nakalto a cikin wata kasida game da yadda ya kamata mu damu game da yanayin “yaƙinmu” da “bambancin?”
Dokta Weston's bio page on Medical College of Wisconsin yana ba da ma'ana: “Dr. Weston ya yi aiki a matsayin Daraktan Kiwon Lafiya na Milwaukee County/City/Municipality COVID-19 Cibiyar Ayyukan Gaggawa. An nuna shi akan MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, kuma a cikin Siyasa da kuma New York Times. "
Likitan likita na gaggawa wanda aka nada ya jagoranci cibiyar gaggawa ta Covid ya zama babban “kwararre” akan SARS-Cov-2 saboda a bayyane yake an nuna shi a cikin labaran labarai da yawa game da shi. Kamar yadda wannan mai karatu zai iya ganowa, Dr. Weston bai gudanar da bincike ba kafin ko lokacin bala'in da ya dace da batun.
Wannan shi ne, tabbas, ba ta wata hanya ba wani zargi na Dr. Weston, wanda ke yin aiki mai mahimmanci da wahala a matsayin likita na gaggawa a kowace rana. Sharhi ne kan ingancin “masana” da aka ambata a shafi na gaba New York Times labarin.
Na gaba mai karatu ya yi mamaki: Idan ba a sami labarin labarai ba kuma ba a yi hira da wani ƙwararrun ƙwararrun ƙasa ko na ƙasa ba, wataƙila akwai wasu dalilai da suka fito don “tsattsauran ra’ayi” da kuma “damuwa” a bayyana. Wataƙila wani sabon binciken ya fito, sabon bayanai, ko sabon bincike na bayanan da ke nuna cewa ga jihohi don "jinkirin yaƙin ƙwayoyin cuta" mummunan ra'ayi ne.
Sake karanta dukan labarin, duk da haka kuma, mai karatu bai ga wani bincike ko bincike na kimiyya ba kwata-kwata. Haƙiƙanin abubuwan da ke da alaƙa da Covid da aka ruwaito a cikin labarin sune kamar haka: Laifukan sun “faɗi cikin sauri a cikin 'yan makonnin nan," wani sabon bambance-bambancen "yanzu shine babban nau'in sabbin cututtukan ƙwayoyin cuta a cikin Amurka," kuma sabbin cututtukan suna "ɗauka kuma a cikin jihohi da yawa ciki har da New York."
Adadin ainihin lambobi kawai an gabatar da su a cikin mahallin kuka game da yadda Amurka ke fama da talauci a cikin martanin ta na Covid: "Amurkawa har yanzu suna baya bayan sauran ƙasashe da yawa a cikin rigakafin. Kimanin kashi 65 cikin ɗari na Amurkawa ne kawai suka sami harbin farko, kuma ƙasa da kashi ɗaya bisa uku na Amurkawa sun sami harbi na farko," da "ƙasa da harbi 225,000 a kowace rana" a duk faɗin ƙasar.
Bayan haka, babu makawa, ya zo da kididdigar mutuwa mai ban tsoro wanda dole ne mu ba da bege mu yanke hukunci da janye duk wata hujja ko suka: "Cutar cutar har yanzu tana haifar da mutuwar Amurkawa sama da 700 kowace rana." A bayyane yake, labarin yana nuna, ɗaruruwan mutuwar dole ne su zama dalilin damuwa. Ba za mu iya shakatawa ba lokacin da mutane ke mutuwa!
Don taƙaitawa: Babban kanun labarai a shafin farko na tabbas jaridar da ta fi tasiri a Amurka ta sa ya zama kamar jihohi suna yin wani abu ba daidai ba ta hanyar dawo da ƙoƙarin mayar da martani na Covid kuma masana suna ganin ya kamata mu damu da wani bambance-bambancen da ke yaduwa. Haƙiƙanin abin da ke cikin labarin ya nuna cewa babu wata sabuwar shaida ko dalili da za a yi imani da cewa jihohi suna yin wani abu ba daidai ba, babu wata sabuwar shaida da ke nuna cewa muna buƙatar damuwa game da bambance-bambancen, kuma ƙwararrun galibin jami'an kiwon lafiyar jama'a ne na cikin gida da kuma likitocin da ba su da ƙwarewa ko bincike a fannonin da suka shafi SARS-CoV-2.*
Dalilin da kawai wannan mai karatu zai iya ɗauka don irin wannan kanun labarai na farko da labarin shine a ci gaba da rura wutar tashin hankalin jama'a. Zuwa wane karshen? Wataƙila 'yan jarida da masu gyara a Times sun yi imani suna ciyar da hanyar kiwon lafiyar jama'a ta hanyar tayar da tsoro, ko da dadewa bayan an tabbatar da matakin barazanar (idan an taba samun barata a farko). Ko wataƙila, don zama ɗan zagi (ko gaskiya?) game da shi, masu ba da rahoto da masu gyara sun san cewa tsoro da fargaba suna jawo masu karatu, musamman a kusa da Covid, don haka kawai ba za su iya barin ba.
Ko ta wane hali, wannan mai karatu ya yi Allah wadai da yunƙurin tsoro da ya mamaye the New York Times da sauran manyan labaran labarai da dama tun farkon barkewar cutar, kuma hakan ya sa ta rasa imani ga tsaka-tsaki da amincin abin da ta kasance jaridar da ta fi so.
