Exactly the time to cut NIH funding, exit the WHO, and put a vaccine sceptic as Secretary of Health. Obviously the work of a real genius who understands the power of using very bright lights inside the body to fight COVID. Remember: COVID s

The foundations of the American government and its ability to care for its citizens. People are loosing their livelihoods, people are dying, etc. You have been desperately attempting to defend the “intent” of the perpetrators. That might ru

The GOP fought against AIDS interventions since its discovery. Had they not, PEPFAR or something similar would have existed a decade or more earlier. Lotsa people died because of that. By 2003, it was no longer tenable to refuse to fight AI

The difference here is whether or not folks are actually pro-social. Do you care about other people’s wellbeing or not? Most folks who are “against” things are against them because they perceive change as “bad for them”, and perhaps “good f
