Honestly, the notion of private vehicles has to end if the planet has even a sliver of a chance for survival. But it's going to take a lot to change the habits of people used to owning their own planet destroying vehicles (yes, even EV

The FDA is filled with antivaxxer sympathizers who throw lots of blocks and hurdles into vaccine testing. Many of the procedures can be shortened with absolutely no loss of safety. A lot of amazing vaccines have been killed under these prot
