In 2018, dozens of states introduced #RightToRepair bills. These bills are wildly popular among voters, but wildly unpopular among monopolists ranging from @Apple to @Microsoft to @Google to @GM to @JohnDeere to @WahlGrooming. Every one of these bills was defeated.

Repair advocates regrouped for 2021. 27 R2R bills have been introduced at the state level. Every single one that came up for a vote was defeated, thanks to aggressive lobbying by an unholy alliance of the country's largest, most profitable, least taxpaying corporations.

Jesus fucking christ, I'm STILL hearing from people who think viruses "adapt" by becoming less virulent over time, and that our immune systems "adapt" to viruses, meeting them halfway.

1/
For fuck's fucking sake.

Mutations produce both more dangerous and less dangerous strains (as well as strains that are indistinguishable from their parent strain).

Over the long run, a strain that kills its host can die off - because it kills all of its hosts.

2/
Likewise: over time, we can become more resistant to a virus as a species...after it kills off everyone whose immune system can't fight it off.

We promised this vaccine waiver 20 years ago: The WTO was always a scam.

The world's 125 poorest countries (2.5b people) have received zero covid vaccine doses to date. The 85 poorest countries project vaccination in 2023/24. This is #VaccineApartheid.

It's not that poor countries can't make their own vaccines. The Global South has a LOT of vaccine production capacity. The problem is Big Pharma, which refuses to transfer the patents and know-how to repurpose those facilities for mRNA production.
