A teen high school dropout who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome will be a featured expert on an upcoming CNN coronavirus panel.
Of course she will. That makes perfect sense.
The other three panelists are all health and biology experts. Greta will be the only person on the panel without a doctorate, a college degree, or a high school diploma.
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.
With the exception of not being able to attend climate protests, you have to assume the coronavirus crisis hasn't affected Greta much. She already wasn't going to school or flying in airplanes. She also has no medical expertise of any kind and she hasn't even attended a basic science class in years. But, of course, CNN says she's an expert because she's their anti-Trump golden calfchild.
