New open source COVID19 vaccine

Speaking to the Washington Post, Peter Hotez said: “We’re not trying to make money. We just want to see people get vaccinated.”
The scientists note that the vaccine was developed with no major government funding, instead relying almost exclusively on private philanthropy, posing the question: “Is it possible that, had we even had a fraction of the support afforded to the biotech or multinational companies producing new technology vaccines, the world might have been vaccinated by now? Possibly, we could have prevented the emergence of Omicron.”

Victory!

Three men and a woman have been found not guilty of criminal damage after toppling the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol, an act of public dissent that reverberated around the world.

Rhian Graham, 30, Milo Ponsford, 26, and Sage Willoughby, 22, were accused, with “others unknown”, of helping to tie ropes around the statue’s neck and joining with others to pull it to the ground.

Jake Skuse, 33, was accused of helping to roll it to Bristol harbour where it was thrown into the River Avon.

In a 10-day trial at Bristol crown court, the four defendants did not contest their actions on 7 June 2020 but sought to argue they were justified, because the statue was so offensive.

Giving evidence in their own defence, each described being motivated out of sincere #antiracist conviction, frustration that previous attempts to persuade the council to remove the statue had failed, and a belief that the statue was so offensive it constituted an indecent display or a hate crime.

i disagree with the (absurd) assertion that technology cannot save us (~ of course technology has to be many parts throughout the solution). but other than that, this seems largely a pretty decent talk.

(ps, i hope folks in #extinctionrebellion realise, #spaceshipsforeverybody is a necessity too, if we are to avoid extinction. ... see again, the absurd assertion that technology cannot save us.)
