Covid-2019 - 2022-01-15

In Recommended Reading: Here's yet another way the New York Times tries to shape elite opinion -- a starry-eyed story about the "stunning" Covid vaccines and the heroes of science who invented them. Hey, we're the ones saying the new MRNA vaccines are wonders of invention which, when perfected, will cure cancer and extend productive lifetimes. But as far as we can tell there's not a word in this story exploring side-effects, waning efficacy, leakiness, or any of the other problems that any serious person admits do in fact exist. The vaccines are miracles to be sure, but critically far from perfect. So why does this story have to pretend they're perfect? I have one word for you, Benjamin: politics.
