  1. How many shots did you take and how many times did you have COVID? mRNA tech needs to be kept in the stable, the rapid response capability is important. But it has not proven out to be a particularly durable solution. We need sterilizing vaccines, IgA eliciting nasally administered vaccines, and traditional subunit protein vaccines to round out. Everyone should now be basically transitioning to novavax for covid until a nasally administered sterilizing vaccine comes to market. Shifting the research dollars is appropriate, but mRNA needs to be kept in the back pocket.
  2. Lawfare is an interesting cite in this context. Poor track record wrt their prior pieces falling flat and Brookings Institute all up in this shit.
  3. Would be more useful to report absolute dollar amounts. Here is the permian basin balance sheet: https://www.basinpbs.org/bento-api/filer-file-download/393324/ Not sure what their viewer rankings are, but they need to step up their membership numbers to close the gap that will result.
  4. faces of fetal alcohol syndrome.
  5. Not sure why the neg. Brisket was coddling gop balls when it was cool for him.
  6. My decades as a Republican are far less than yours. Like orders of magnitude.
  7. I understand that you are out of your depth.
  8. Is this the part where you flex your broke brain? What a ride. Enjoy.
  9. You should just hold out for state department talking points to tell you what to think.
  10. It’s also why you are so loud all caps blustering. You think no one sees it brisket. Buts it’s all pretty obvious.
  11. Your politics are responsible for where we are today. You’re too cracked up to recognize it though.
  12. It’s good polit It’s political fodder for our broken system. I know that you see this as a one side issue. It’s not. They all play the game. We have broken politics. It absolutely is a swinging pendulum. But maybe ALL CAPS WILL FIX IT.
  13. Must have been where you and Jacinda Ardern broke ways. Every nation must be able to control their borders. Our politics are too broken to land reasonable solutions so the pendulum swings. One way and then the other.
  14. I am sure you are tracking.
  15. Agree. It’s really amazing. I see the hoops that people have to jump through to work here. These are people with PhDs and MSs trained in US schools. They get in line and play the game and pay tens of thousands of dollars to lawyers and others to navigate. It’s all nonsense. But have you looked into the process in New Zealand?
  16. Our immigration system is broken. Has been for a long time. People that are here illegally should be sent home. At the same time the process is very stupid and needs to be changed. But until then follow the rules. Every country has rules wrt immigration. If you don’t follow them, you get sent out. This is like nation state 101.
  17. Caught a few minutes of some presser he was doing yesterday I think and the focus was on farmers and how partnering with farmers to close these kind of gaps was an essential component of the path forward. I think maybe he knows more about the details than you give him credit for. As always, RFK jr is like 80-90% spot on and 10-20% batshit crazy.
  18. Prasad was victim of a pharma hit job. Pay attention guys.
  19. You could have helped @Hank_Hill earlier.
  20. The uri reference may have been too obscure earlier. https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think You know the stereotype of the NPR listener: an EV-driving, Wordle-playing, tote bag–carrying coastal elite. It doesn’t precisely describe me, but it’s not far off. I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley. I fit the NPR mold. I’ll cop to that. So when I got a job here 25 years ago, I never looked back. As a senior editor on the business desk where news is always breaking, we’ve covered upheavals in the workplace, supermarket prices, social media, and AI. It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding. In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population. If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, it’s always been this way. But it hasn’t.
  21. It’s hilarious that this thread turned to criticism of academic accomplishment.
