I really, really don't think that's a reasonable metric, especially on short timelines. In a few years, when this has been trialed, approved, there are a few manufacturers? Maybe.

I'm glad you figured out your issue! Genuinely! That it worked for you, doesn't mean it's a wise general recommendation.

It costs UNICEF about $4 for a single malaria vaccine[1]. "Globally in 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597 000 malaria deaths in 83 countries." [2] " In the 20th century alone, malaria claimed bet

Do you feel like you're actually contributing to a conversation, or being a member-in-good-faith of a community if you have to create new accounts to hide what you're saying?

I don't disagree but I don't think that's what the person I was replying to meant (and their further comments support that idea). I can't see their original comment anymore though, so, who knows.

My point was that you miss-represented the scenario: Google has not been ordered by the President to do anything, because the president doesn't have that authority. Your dishonest redirecting here is both transparent and insulting. Wh

I...do agree that it sounds ridiculous, and my point was that that was not what the original commenter was saying. Your interpretation of their comment is far-fetched, and not a useful entry into a conversation about their point.
