Do it, c2i! Assign credit! Do it now!

I’m starting to believe that we are in a simulation. And that the normal beings running the simulation are out sick

You don't name it the Trump because if you did you'd have nearly 80 million people that suddenly don't trust the vaccine.

around half the people of the US aren't going to trust it either way, so who cares what it's named?

@dodint, do you disagree? I'm 100% on board with trusting the science but you don't think a large number of people wouldn't trust it just based on the Trump name? It'd be the same if it were called the Biden Shot. Or better yet, Obama Juice.

I think you're taking the joke to heart.

Ummm... The Almighty Science. Clearly.

Oh... Yeah I guess I am. My fault. It's honestly difficult to tell these days what's a joke and what's serious.

Shoutout to the courageous Tucker Carlson for being willing to say on his show that Sidney Powell doesn’t have evidence for her election fraud claims.

Way to stick your neck out and be a hero

Every time someone says "trust the science" I die a little more inside

So all of the election nonsense aside...is it okay to say that Operation Warp Speed has been a great program? It sure seems like it.

I don't really care which political party is responsible, but it seems like it has been a very successful partnership between the government and private enterprise.

We'll see what the distribution looks like, but yes. This thread sort of hits the nail on the head:



Copied and pasted for those that don't want to read the thread on twitter:

I can tell you most of that time is spent doing nothing. It's spent submitting funding requests, then resubmitting them, then waiting, then submitting them somewhere else, then getting the money but the company changes it's mind or focus, then renegotiating then submitting ethics, then waiting for regulators then having problems with recruitment and having to open other sites, then dealing with more regulatory issues, then finally when you eventually get to the end of all of this you might have a therapy or not. At this point it may not be deemed profitable or any number of other obstacles.

However we have collectively now shown that with money no object, some clever and highly motivated people, an unlimited pool of altruistic volunteers and sensible regulators that we can do amazing things (necessity being the mother etc). These trials have been nothing short of miraculous, revolutionary but in the context perhaps it is not surprising given our ability to innovate when we REALLY need to...and we really needed to.
