You're comparing yearly numbers to a one/two shot event. A relevant timeframe needs to be selected, otherwise you may as well use cases/people/hour (0.2 .. 2 case per 177Mp·h) or cases/people/decade (18k..180k

Does that include the engineered quasi-mRNA in the vaccine, that was specially crafted to evade certain types of degradation? The vaccine is not and purposefully does not act like normal mRNA. It's not even made of the same 4 building

If you donate to Mozilla, you don't pay for Firefox at all . Conversely, AFAIK, Wikimedia doesn't accept money for merchandising their users. At least not in any official, straightforward way.

I see where you're going, but your implementation broke the sort. As for time complexity, it changes from ϴ(n²) to O(n²). Alternatively, you can drop the O-notation and calculate precisely so as to include constant factor speedups, tho

By that logic, they would own a similar share of Papa John's, your corner grocery, and companies funded by VCs or banks instead of public funds. Then is the investment return fair? Do people kind-of get health and Merck gets their flee

I've had funny experiences with disappearing files on ext4 - reading a file while there are transient SATA errors (on a flaky SATA link) would cause a the file to be removed. To be fair, I think I've lost more data on btrfs.

You could order adequately, then build and sell those cars or whatever you're making, instead of throwing the parts away. But then, you couldn't change models as swiftly, and need to sell a lot of last year's models.
