First public transit I've taken in over a year and a half. Totally empty. Maybe my hair scared them off?

Meanwhile, in Miami....

Exclusive: How Amateur Sleuths Broke the Wuhan Lab Story and Embarrassed the Media
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-how-amateur-sleuths-broke-wuhan-lab-story-embarrassed-media-1596958

The crazy thing is this story _itself_ is covering up the media's fraud.

You didn't need to do sleuthing to uncover the high chance of this being a lab leak. From day one it was a high probability simply because of the very unlikely coincidence that China's only lab doing this stuff was at the site of the first reported outbreak.

"Is the Second Shot Giving Young Men a Dangerous Heart Condition?"

If the second shot of Pfizer triggers myocarditis in about 1 in 5000 shots, could something else also trigger it?

Even just skipping the second dose may not be enough if first shots are priming young men to develop myocarditis later down the line.

Sitting in Chicago airport, waiting for my Miami flight... and I hear someone on a laptop talking about Metamask.

But the worst part? I'm eating some fancy chocolate that I couldn't resist buying. Hope he doesn't recognize me. #blackmail

A circular food system can withstand crises like COVID-19 — and provide delicious meals

Heh, it's pretty funny reading pop-sci nonsense like this.

The truth is that circular food systems like feeding pigs waste food, or using compost directly to grow food crops, are explicitly banned in many countries to _prevent_ pandemics. The problem is insufficient sterilization allows diseases to circulate from waste back to the plate. The scariest example being prions.

It says so much that our scam Ontario government would use a stock photo of kids - at nearly zero risk to covid-19 - wearing masks outdoors while exercising - a situation where anyone is at nearly zero risk.

Life finds a way. And so does science.

Yes, that's woke Magic The Gathering fans getting worked up because marketing thought that they could reach out to nerdy military college students with rap spells.

Good start. Now do the same for adults too. Or make sure _everyone_ has access to a competent lawyer.

Did COVID-19 Escape From a Lab? A Coronavirus Investigation
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/coronavirus-lab-escape-theory.html

"Bruce Ivins, an eccentric, suicidal laboratory scientist from Ohio who worked in vaccine development at Fort Detrick, allegedly wanted to boost the fear level so as to persuade the government to buy more of the patented, genetically engineered anthrax VaxGen vaccine, of which he was a co-inventor."
