Reasons to Mistrust Vaccine Programs

#+AUTHOR: Colin Powell

- As stated in The Coronavirus Called America's Bluff the United States has been

woefully prepared to handle Covid-19

- Thinking on a run the other day, would the US be more ready for viral

outbreaks if we didn't crush all minor outbreka-causing disease under our boot?

- Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong have handled Covid-19 very well. What do they

have in common? SARS and MERS both hit them hard. They had experience.

- Ask any athlete and the single best thing you can do to get better is to

perform the thing you need to do on demand over and over and over.

- What does a culture of prophylactic medicine get us? Utter horrible lack of

preparedness.

- After the Apollo mission, US scientists forgot how to build big liquid rocket

engines. New engineers were forced to reverse engineering existing engine

relics to unlock knowledge that was lost because the Shuttle Launch System

used totally different technology

- Is it possible that lack of familiarity with a thing, over time leads to

incompetence when presented with it suddenly?

- What if there were still occasional, mostly non-life-threatening outbreaks of

easily treat-able diseases?

- What if we knew how to social distance, or close a school without grinding our

economy to a halt?
