    Great news! Thanks for sharing OP!

    When I was in college I had a Zoology professor who mentioned, on multiple occasions, that Malaria had killed '50% of all humans since man’s inception".

    In fact, on 2 different exams, we had to draw the lifecycle of the genus plasmodium (the thing that causes malaria). Crazy.

    That’s great news! One upside of Covid is that it increased funding toward vaccine development strategies. Hopefully we’ll get even more effective vaccines for other hard to treat diseases.

      First step is testing safety. Then you give it to a much larger group to establish the level of effectiveness, since you need a lot of data to establish that. After the effectiveness is established you would declare it safe AND effective.

      SMH. Can’t imagine how that’s not obvious.

      It’s the WHO who declared this safe in this writing. Obviously, there have been other authorities that approved the vaccine before injecting it to that million people.

      I thought lemmy was all about freedom.

      Some places are moderated, some are not. Depends on the individual community and instance. See sidebar on the right.

        I was pondering how corporations within capitalism operate as communist dictatorships internally. I was wondering why it doesn’t bother me as much as a country operating as a communist dictatorship.

        And the answer is: you can leave that corporation and go to another one any time.

        Whereas countries that become communist dictatorships have to put up walls to keep people from leaving.

        So the real horror isn’t the communist dictatorship. It’s the communist dictatorship you can’t leave.

        Kinda like bdsm I guess. Consent is everything. “Take everything I produce and redistribute it as you see fit, Daddy!”
