Yes, that's true, but it also has to be said that producing these vaccines is not so simple. It's all new technology, no mRNA vaccine was ever approved before, and you can't just dial up production so easily. Unfortunately. Y

I don't see at all how that post is forcing you to hold your nose. It is a straight and simple denunciation of the attack on the US Capitol, and a call to critically investigate the role social media played in it. How is that controv

I will point out that you only talk about stylistic issues and do not actually address the central point of the article, which is that language matters ("terrorist" or "freedom fighter"?) and that the discourse using the

Yeah it's extremely relevant. Has never been more relevant. You have the American vice-president of a thoroughly racist administration claiming credit for this vaccine on Twitter, even though it was children of migrant workers in anoth

You missed the point that we already paid for the development of this vaccine by paying taxes. We should now only pay for the production, not for the intellectual property rights.

All this talk about NATO still being an active entity in the protection of Europe is dangerous and hopelessly naïve. As long as Trump is president, I don't think we need to have any illusions as to which side he would chose in a hypoth

Perhaps I'm old, but who needs an API for an SQL query? I'm not sure I understand the use case, or the advantage of something like this over a regular API call to a backend which would also allow you to do e.g. authentication. Enl
