Why does a slow worker or bureaucracy equal safety? What they know now is what they will know next year. The technology has approved in the last 50 years. It is no longer 1970.
But, I remember being on this board exactly one year ago yelling from every corner I can find that bad things are coming. On this board we had people claiming it was a flu. Why a flu? Why not any other random disease you have had? I hope some people at least heard me.
DaasYochid talks about changing directives on mask usage. They never changed….in the rest of the world. This was never a debate and the science was settled over 1 year ago on this topic. The word is bigger than the CDC. Why did the CDC say no mask? Their website said you’re too stupid to know how to wear it, and that they don’t work, so give them to real doctors.
At that moment, I ignored the CDC during the whole pandemic. There are some very smart people, who aren’t celebrities and don’t care about fame around the world that are doing a great job.
Japan just approved the vaccine and will start tomorrow. They claim the Russians have a good one as well.
Remember last spring? Half of the hospitals in most of America did not buy any additional equipment and ignored the coming threat. They were short of masks. Was there a mask shortage in Israel? Not to my understanding, they sourced around the world all that they could find.
In other words, like they say out there in society, follow the evidence whereever it leads, be proactive not reactive, and follow winners and not losers.
