A reminder that for some humans, depending on their state or country, their very existence is a crime. "Don't do crime" leaves me a bit uneasy, especially as things in the US turn more fascist.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

A reminder to some of my privileged (straight white upper/middle class) male friends with good retirement funds: claiming centricity/a midpoint is siding with the oppressor. There is no maturity or purity in finding an artificial middle set by extremists that sacrifices others.
