You cannot fast-track a vaccine if there are other treatments available. Letting the word out that you can be cured from COVID-19 could make a lot of people lose much money. Both Vitamin D and the other one (it rhymes with byfroxymorophin)

Good on you, Spain. A study like this could never take place in the USA :( Too many powerful people are heavily invested in the belief that there is no treatment for it.

COVID-19 made this much worse, but the current system is too complicated. It took me years to learn how to navigate it and it's probably going to change dramatically again very soon. Most ACA plans are a ripoff if you're not getti

A mono vaccine is in development, so the more health problems that can be linked to mono, the better it will be for the vaccine sales.

Well, they are developing a vaccine, and any new findings about diseases linked to EBV would raise the value of the vaccine. I think it's safe to say that the medical community is indeed very interested in this.

The whole debate over free speech online is only happening because 1) content is passing through a bottleneck of only a few companies and 2) those few companies have decided to actively censor the content. These two things could not exist s

If they would just repeal section 230 already, then the plug would be pulled from all these companies and China would no longer have any influence over what is said on the internet. What we are in is a sort of techno-mercantilism where gove

Venture capitalists fund ten businesses in all sectors, expecting to get nine flops and one mega-success. A large company doing an internal software project is not a venture capitalist. They have a specific goal in mind and must use their e

How many people lost money in cryptocurrency scams compared to the entirely legal and rule-following housing market crash of 2008?

Perhaps it doesn't, but that's the point. Education should prepare you to engage with society gainfully. If one makes it through 20 years of rigorous school but at no point acquired the necessary cognitive skills to discern scams

There were only 350,000 cases in 1988, when the vaccine was first deployed, and 5 billion people on Earth then versus 7 billion now. How do 350,000 cases turn into 13 million, according to the WHO? [1] https://www.who.int/ne

I imagine most school districts, including ours, will land on something like what you just described, albeit after a period of jerking parents around. Since your school was only planning on three hours a day, sounds like they are more flexi

Ah, excuse me, I didn't mean to slight the real educators. I meant the phony ones who think this is a reasonable plan. I agree with you completely. We love the teachers at our kids' school and saying goodbye to them was the hardes
