    I'm withholding any opinion until I hear from the head of the FDA who has surely been using the US government's teams of hundreds of scientists to get the best Gold standard science on this technology

    It only just struck me. The federal government is currently headed by several “where is Ja Rule” level incompetents. Enough of the funny, I really, really want to go back to the boring government.

    Funny joke from a petty bully. Chappelle loves to punch down too much for me to respect him more than anyone in the Trump admin.

    Got any examples? Honestly curious.

    If you think Chappelle is worse or equivalent to the trump admin, that's gonna be a tough sell...

    There are tons of articles out there about his jokes punching down at various groups, because it's an ongoing problem and he just doubles down if anyone complains.

    And I never said he was as bad as anyone in the Trump admin, I just said I couldn't respect him any more than them. He sits in a place of immense privilege and punches down at people who are struggling. He's in the same company as them.

    It drove me nuts in the early days of the COVID vaccine and some study came out showing that a lot of the people against the vaccine were really just afraid of needles, but had a good chance to get their courage up if the news media would just stop plastering pictures of needles in every story about the vaccine. So, what did the news media do? They just kept right on throwing pictures of needles on every story.
