|content=Think of it this way. '''We told the world’s smartest people they were privileged welfare queens in lab coats''' &amp; made them waste their time begging for grants, stabbing each other in the back. So they adapted. We can have reliable science back as soon as we open our eyes to this. 🙏

|content=Because you stopped them from participating in the prosperity they created for everyone else downstream of science.

To put it bluntly they are echoing the words of those whose hands now encircle their throats. That’s why you got sick with Covid. Why you aren’t getting the truth.

|content=You see scientists create what economists call a MARKET FAILURE in the form of a PUBLIC GOOD. That is the VALUE our scientists create isn’t captured in the PRICE they can command even in a free market. Then we broke our contract to take care of them  by sharing downstream wealth.

|content=If they were wealthy, as they would be in any sane society, they would tell you what they thought of Fauci and Collins and Daszak. But they are *precarious*. So they parroted those people instead. 

Hence their new cranky positions on reproductive mutilation. WIV. Vaccines. Etc.
