Politikwissenschafter*innen der Uni Wien haben untersucht, wie staatliche Maßnahmen während der #COVID-19 Pandemie von den Menschen erlebt wurden. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Befragten – unabhängig von ihrer Einstellung zum Impfen – Sorge um gesellschaftliche Spaltung und Ausgrenzung hatten. 💉⤵️
Fazit aus der Pandemie: "Krisenpolitik muss alle miteinschließen"
Menschen waren durch Corona-Politik in "sozialen Blasen" und besorgt über gesellschaftliche Spaltung

NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from extremist groups, misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated.

Es ist einfach beschämend, diese Szenen aus dem Weißen Haus zu sehen - wie ein Land, das Bombardierung von Krankenhäusern, Mord & sexuelle Gewalt in einem Angriffskrieg durch Russland erlebt, als Bittsteller vorgeführt & in hochnäsigem Ton angeblafft wird

Wow. I had no idea the justification for the CDC layoffs was that 'AI can do the work'.
Meanwhile "the work" 👉 experts aiding outbreak response, ensuring medical device safety, & preventing disease-carrying animals from entering the U.S.
Not sure how 🤖 is going to solve this. Bleak #SnakeOil shit.
GOP Rep. Rich McCormick at his town hall last night justified the Trump administration firing CDC workers by saying "a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI"
