No, the government restricts facility size. Look up “Certificate of Need laws” if you’d like more information.

Yep, the response is driven by bureaucrats passing around PowerPoints. They all have excellent job security.

Yeah it’s a lot more convenient, but the parent was talking about their passion for the field. I think most people would agree on convenience.

Delta variant was identified in India in December 2020. India began administering vaccines in January 2021. Vaccine refusal could not have played a role.

If the WHO won’t demonstrate they’re serious about lab safety, why would somebody believe they’re serious about vaccine safety?

The data shows you are 30x more likely to receive a positive COVID test result if you are unvaccinated, not that you are 30x more likely to “get COVID.” You need to give the distribution of tests between vaccinated/unvaccinated to draw the latter conclusion.
