If officials from the U.N. or from the WHO warn about something, I sleep particularly well at night, knowing that it's probably blown out of proportion by several orders or magnitude. Remember the bird flu? My employer at the time bought truckloads of sanitizers, plastic bins and related stuff. A complete waste of money. These people have lost every last shred of credibility for me.
- notadoc 10y agoYou understand the point of warnings is for action to be taken to hopefully prevent a further problem, right? Have street "Stop" signs lost their credibility with you too?
- Fomite 10y agoSeriously. This is like complaining that someone called the fire department, and your house didn't burn down, so it was clearly all for nothing.
- Fomite 10y agoThe WHO are also the people who eradicated smallpox.
