Widespread coverage of a not-yet published study on intermittent fasting highlights why journalists and mainstream media are terrible at covering science.
Looks as though the media has been casting about for any possible explanations for the extra cardiovascular problems that seem to be popping up lately. Grasping at any straws. Wonder why……
I honestly don't think this is related to anything regarding cardiovascular deaths and the vaccines. I think this is something typical of mainstream media- just contradict any fads or alternative cultural trends. Given how popular intermittent fasting has become you can gain viewers by writing anything in support of it as well as anything that would criticize it. Either way, you get views and attention.

True it's about grabbing the clicks, but I think this particular media echo chamber serves more than one purpose.
I remember that of those fasts, up to 3 days, have been recommended as COVID jab or long COVID 'detox'. 😎
