Sorry, if you're a racist, corrupt mouthpiece for oil and gas when you're alive, you're a racist, corrupt mouthpiece for oil and gas when you're dead. You can live your life so people won't celebrate when you die, or you can be like Rex Murphy. Bury him deep. Buh bye.

In this piece I unpack what a variant is, why vaccines alone can't end the pandemic, and how the goalposts of "victory" over COVID keep shifting.

"Forever reinfections" was never the goal of our COVID response. But it is certainly the outcome

Independent journalist Marisa Kabas has since confirmed that Reuven Kahane was arrested by the NYPD. He is currently charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Kabas also confirmed the de-escalator he hit was a 55-year-old woman who is currently charged with criminal mischief and unlawful assembly, while the de-escalator who sat in front of Kahane's car has been charged with criminal mischief. The safety/de-escalation team was reportedly made up entirely of non-student volunteers.
