If the diagnosis of Transverse Myelitis is confirmed, I consider that vaccine candidate dead.
And this is why the vaccine strategy was a very bad idea to fight SARS-COV-2 in the short to medium term. All those opinion leaders, benefactors à la Bill Gates, "scientists" who pushed for a vaccine as the solution are dumb criminals. Vaccine research takes years and the outcome is uncertain, instead they all banked on a working vaccine, available much sooner than usual. That is nuts. All the money and resources spent for those vaccines should have been spent on more hospitals, more personnels, more intensive care units, better therapies: things that certainly work.
What would "toned down" look like?
The problem is that this stuff tends to look like the parody of itself. You got "romances" that look like that old Jim Carrey's sketch, where he shouts every second or so "look, I'm gay!".
couldn't someone have gone up there and rescued some of the kit days or even weeks ago?
Unfortunately, since Kamala Harris is no longer attorney general of California, there is none left to fight for keeping non-violent inmates in overcrowded prison, for holding innocent people behind bars, that is for procuring $1/hour slave workforce and fighting wildfires in California.
Garden variety Republican corporate socialism.
That is the kind of mentality that brought you to this point. Then you vote for the other side, but it is just the other side of the same coin. The $3 trillion plan to give free money to the rich and crumbs to the poor was approved by the Democrat-led House.
In January, Beijing imposed a sweeping ban on the import of e-waste as part of its “National Sword” campaign to slash the levels of what it calls “foreign garbage.” Though spurred by environmental concerns — rivers choked with toxic chemicals, local children with high levels of lead in their blood — Beijing’s move also seems emblematic of its increasing self-sufficiency and growing rejection of the West. The ban has caused upheaval in the global trade in e-waste, diverting huge amounts to smaller nations ill equipped to handle the overflow.
Those smaller nations, like Thailand, did not take much time to step up their regulations.
As for coal, well: China expands coal plant capacity to boost post-virus economy.
TFA, and other FAs like it, are fossil fuel industry FUD.
Yes, photovoltaic panels produce pollution, but the alternative of burning coal is a thousand times worse.
And yet, the poor countries that used to "recycle" those PV panels and the other electronic waste said stop with this shit, while they are still happily burning coal. Are they duped by the the evil fossil fuel industry, or do they know, because they experimented it first hand, what is really thousand times worse?
Russian intelligence hacked and released damaging material from the Clinton campaign and various Democratic Party organizations
is a false statement, regarding the Muller report.
Dogdude: "Russian collusion was confirmed by the Mueller investigation"
Mi: "Please, cite the relevant parts."
You: "Wikipedia! DOJ guidelines!! MY FEELINGS!!!" (Where is the Muller investigation?)
It is simple: Muller specifically investigated the claims of Russian collusion, but in the end his report could not confirm them. Wikipedia did not. The DOJ guidelines neither.
I favor freedom and democracy, but I think we should not assume people are thinking.
So you are against freedom and democracy here. Voters must be free, independent, informed and educated (hence free speech and free press, hence public education). If you think that they miss some of those features, then you think that there cannot (or must not) be democracy here, and, as a consequence, freedom.
