Really? just whom are you protecting by this ridiculous policy? Why not screen the qualifications of the people who wish to post comments?
I literally am a rocket scientist, formerly at General Dynamics. I designed spacecraft attitude control systems at TRW Systems and was a Group supervisor and space scientist at JPL. An instrument that I designed is now operating on the surface of Mars. But, now, I am a Stanford trained orthopedic surgeon, not totally ignorant regarding infectious diseases such as Covil 19. OK so I am also an accomplished musician, and pilot. So why (If you believe in God or not) in Earth (if you do not believe in global warming, or not, cannot an expert like me not publish comments to your news article summaries?

OK, I do believe that i do have much useful and accurate information
But there is much more.

Please revise your process regarding refusal to post comments such as highly educated nd experienced like me..
