A general gathering of stuff

Scientists looking at the aftermath of a major quake.


Between other things that've been coming out about vaccines, and then this, we trust these bastards why?  There are vaccines that have done wonders, and then it seems there are some that the 'safety testing' seems to be 'Let's make people take this, and see how many have bad problems from it.'  Which is not a way to gain trust from people, you bastards.

When they were deciding whether to recommend the Wuhan vaccine* for children, there were two things from the board:
One was a guy who said "There are questions, but we wanted a unanimous outcome on the vote, so I voted for it."
Second was  one of the others who, near as I can remember, said "At some point we have to start giving this to kids to find out if it's actually safe."
The first guy I wanted fired immediately.
The second I wanted hanged.  From a tree or lamppost outside the entrance to that building.  Because what we've been told all these years is it's tested for safety BEFORE THEY GIVE IT TO KIDS, or anyone else...

No, they did not do that profession any favors, and if they're wondering why people don't trust them anymore, they're idiots.

*I got pissed when the media, in one day, all started playing 'Calling it a new Chinese virus or calling it after the place it came from- the way it's been done for a loooong time- is racist!' really pissed me off.  So I still call it Wuhan.
