In the market of agentic mania ,apathy and hubris appear to be the primary competition for most anything involving solid engineering. Apathy: we don't need no stinkin' rigor, because we can iterate so quickly. Hubris: give me a swam of agents and enough tokens to stand on and I can move the world.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

Exactly. This was all "buy low sell high" with someone at the top who can manipulate the market.
Stop it. Just stop it. Trump didn’t blink. He’s manipulating the markets and his friends are making a killing.
