    They’ve been working on a COVID vaccine since the SARS epidemic, but that fact won’t stop the stupid.

      Also, cancer isn’t one disease but a whole class of diseases. And we actually do have vaccines that prevent certain forms of cancer, like the HPV vaccine.

      Also, the amount of computational power that was made available for COVID research was recorded breaking.

      If you were on Folding@home at that time, they couldn’t get enough WU out fast enough for a while. Gamers really showed up and helped.

        I always found the tracking chip conspiracy stuff to be particularly funny. Unfortunately, I never personally met any whackos that believed it.

        The best method for very accurately tracking them was the thing they likely used to post about the COVID vaccine tracking you.
