therefore the older versions are eliminated from the public sphere to be replaced by newer information and methods of combating it and its mutations.

The information isn’t being retracted as if from some misstatement or some incorrect announcement to a reporter. It’s the process of science.

You really try too hard to bad mouth anything and anyone who isn’t hard right extremist MAGAcult.
