BUSD is a US New York DFS, the banking regulator, regulated stablecoin. USDC on the other hand is not regulated. Paxos (my employer) issues BUSD, not Binance

The way I understand the science is that we can say with some certainty that… - we know vaccines work and they’re safe - we know natural immunity works - we have a good estimate on how well/long the vaccines work over time (probably 9-
