      I’ll always support all vaccines. They’re preventive medicine that reduces healthcare utilization in the long term

        Assuming they’re proven safe and effective, sure. Don’t blindly assume, though. Beyond the obvious politicization, one reason why the approval hasn’t gone through is likely due to the gutting of the FDA. Sigh …

    JFC.

    This was a goddamn fucking moonshot, and it was achieved. An amazing feat of human ingenuity.

    And every fucking ape on this planet, if they even want to admit Covid was a real thing, and not “just the flu”, would rather turn to shit like horse dewormer.

    And now we are stuck with these gorillas running the government. FFS.

      This is where I remind you that we have not been back to the Moon since 1972. Not because we couldn’t do it but because we saw no profit in it.

      Nothing in this world outpaces America’s capitalist regressiveness.

    Moderna also has a vaccine production facility in Canada. So maybe a family vacation north might be a good idea this year.

      I’ve been recommending this to my friends still trapped in America. I’m not sure whether you have to go to one of the degenerate two-tier flat-lander provinces to get ad-hoc care or whether you can choose any random pharmo, but plan ahead.

    Did they pay the bribe donate some millions to trump’s golden ballroom?

    Nowadays it’s a cheap and almost mandatory investment to bribe an official donate to the presidential library in order to get preferential treatment.

    This is Trump’s 4d chess. If we take the power away from these orgs when drugs will get cheaper!

    …right?..right?
