    The pandemic was a stress test we flunked. Our future depends on learning its lessons. Powerful groups may—again—try to impede needed reforms. I hope they realize that even a first-class ticket on the Titanic is still a ticket on the Titanic.

        The problems we face go far beyond funding cuts and and an anti-science attitude—though those things are *very* real. I had thousands and thousands of words on examples of things we just.. couldn't figure out and execute, even when we tried, even when we should have been able to.

        Yes, could not fit into this. Yes, I'm working on something longer, like a book. (Eeek!) We still have the winter to get through. I don't think the depth of the failure is widely appreciated yet—and the root causes stretch over many decades, not just now.https://twitter.com/Jamesthesnake/status/1461433367640088583 …

        I picked that analogy knowing very well that privilege insulates, exactly like that, but many first class passengers on the Titanic did die. And they were still on a ship sinking in icy waters.https://twitter.com/costrike/status/1461438482274918403 …

        Was lack of regulation or regulatory oversight really the chief problem of the pandemic? Most of the big losses I saw came from bureacratic failures: testing approvals, no challenge trials, insistence on two-dose regiment, recommendations against masks.

        unfortunately not with the current political system bent to private powerful interests and with a bureaucracy meant to follow such powers instead of directing those

        Is there any news about whether the US will discourage Moderna under 30 like Europe? Seems like part of that calculus is Pfizer is around, so why take the bump in risk which might otherwise be acceptable in isolation. But I've noticed a bump in anti-vax regarding the silence.
