Just interesting news to me.
This crisis is revealing ourselves again. We are witnessing most of the bad things about our society and its systems. Maybe we have a chance here to be correcting some of these bad things.
>>> “We are facing the greatest assault on our civil liberties in our lifetimes. The virus is real, but the government reaction is political and totalitarian.”

We can all see that it is coming in one form or another. We will be forced to have a vaccine somehow in the near future.
I share my opinions with this guy. I do not mind wearing a mask to go shopping for a few weeks but I would not like to be forced to have a vaccine. I would rather take my chances of catching the disease and build my own natural immunity. Isn’t that nature’s way?
Some people think that we can control these kinds of things but we can’t. It is just an illusion of control that we reached sometimes and sooner or later we find that we made things worse.
>>> “I’m afraid the company that receives the approval may be the one with the best political connections, not the best and safest vaccine. Considering the number of post-market drug recalls and withdrawals in the past few years, the US’ Food and Drug Administration doesn’t have the best track record on vetting the research. “
Science has become more something about a consensus that anything else. “Do not disturb the status quo”, seems to be the word. We should have learned by now that most advances in science were done by ignoring the main current and going in unexplored directions. All people should be encouraged somehow to explore new directions. At the very least we should have some social structure to prevent denying that exploration, like these archeologists ‘ignoring’ the work of others.
Exploring is something to do when you have time on your hand as if we ever implement the Universal Basic Income after we have reached the coming social singularity point. That point where robots take over the world by doing everything we don’t want to do.
>>> “…although expertly excavated and analysed, are commonly disputed or simply ignored by most archaeologists…”

This doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t all COVID research suppose to be public in the interest of the whole planet. I find it strange that a country would have unique information about that virus and not share it. It would be in their own interest. I mean if the virus spreads in one country it would affect the other one as well. Unless that research has something that one country would be ashamed about revealing. It is also possible that some entity intends to profit from that virus. In that case, that should be also punishable.
I understand that they might be spying and they may have stolen other information. If they get caught, it is fair game to get punished. On all sides. Why add the COVID dimension to it?
>> “More recently, the prosecutors accused the hackers of targeting the networks of over a dozen U.S. companies in Maryland, Massachusetts and California developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. “
You never know who you are dealing with. It would be nice to have something that would tell you when a person has a history of violence. In the meantime, situational awareness should be our primary line of defense against these people.
