Or she’s one of the few with the resources & social connections to get this on the country’s radar.

There are so many “copaganda” TV shows in the US it’s wild. I bet every American could easily name 10 off the top of their head and that wouldn’t even begin to scratch the surface.…

I think monkey pox was mostly contained through contact tracing and then vaccinating those who were potentially exposed.

I think it’s one thing to build your own insanely dangerous exploration device and try it out yourself but to try to make money by selling people tickets for rides on it is far bey…

I think it’s more along the lines of “learn from the experiences of others”. It’s my understanding that there are quite a lot of very smart people who have spent decades figuring o…
