You should really just read the article. I know you think you don't need to, but you should.
So this is your argument so far:
1. The article wasn't written by the government. It doesn't matter.
2. THEN - Okay, so even though it wasn't written by the government, I suppose it can matter, but it doesn't say exactly what you want it to say
We're trying to adventure towards the next natural point:
3. THEN - Okay, so it may allude to the things you say, but that's not good enough. It should say them verbatim!
After that, we can go even further! We can discuss your precise interpretation of sentences. This requires you state why you believe what you do, rather than just saying "hmm actually this article doesn't say anything".
You see, honk, like yourself, other people don't like admitting they made huge mistakes during the pandemic. They have to hint at it, while pretending to have been correct all along, but also giving away that they realized they were in the wrong. I suggest you thoroughly read the article with that in mind.
