he (and the others) have been this way since mid 80s, with the sole change of crossing out "Japan" and writing in "China"

I guess I could see that. Violence is not good for anyone's business, even if you think you're one of the "good ones."

Interesting, maybe I'm wrong! I would if we could disentangle if it was shareholders thinking the backlash would be bad for business, or if they shared the sentiment about those practices.

Yeah, but you have to admit, the difference in who was publicly anti-vaxx, and how they described their reasons for doing so, and how that changed after after the vaccine was developed or the election - that seems at least a little interesting, right?

Okay, there seems to be a bit of debate on that: www.washingtonexaminer.com/think-tanks/...

Secondly, even if that NIH guy did 100% of design, there were other vaccines (Pfizer, AZ, NVAX) used and the actual deployment also involves manufacturing, which was a huge (subjective) % of "the work".
Moderna–National Institutes of Health spat over inventorship opens new front in COVID-19 vaccine patent battle - Washington Examiner
In recent weeks, a new front has opened in the long-running war over COVID-19 vaccine patents: a fight between Moderna and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over who exactly deserves credit for ...

Oh, 100% - but I am not trying to exclude them, I'm interested in say, when did right (or left) wing media say what, and when, (before/after election or vaccine trials) because that tells us which institutions they do and do not like.

it would've been a lot easier that way

- self-indulgent bloodlust is grotesque, a lot of people haven't updated their moral fervor to reflect the post-ACA regulatory universe, and there's simply no way to support random assassinations, especially of private citizens, and claim any kind of moral high ground, it's flatly absurd

"Joint" overstates it quite a bit, pharma (to their eternal credit) did all the productive work.

re: "lies": yes, 100%, but digging into which people said which lies and at which time is very useful for determining/illuminating which institutions they trust and why.

I think it the details of how/when that happened is pretty insightful! Which institution did the "productive" work? Which institutions had to be curtailed to allow the work to occur quickly? How did antivax sentiment change in relation to which institution the vaccine was publicly associated with?

you'd think this would be something you wouldn't forget, even after that long

Maybe, but what damage could change the amount of hostages they have? Hostages already think their captors have a toxic brand, and want to escape! If want ransom money, you and your buddies - coincidentally the people investigating this crime have the same boss - don't let them!

I'm going to buy your book and then write insulting things about you in the margins. You have a book, right?

So, just talking category definitions, is it "anti-elite elitism", a thing that is we might claim is different than past anti-elite *populism*, or would it just make it "intra-elite competition" like nearly every political struggle in history?

I mean they pretty clearly stated that "play has no limits"....

ugh, depressing stats. Even more depressingly, the per-capita circulation is probably down "less" due to population decline in Cleveland/Cuyahoga county across same period.

I don't know the numbers for sure, but I imagine so. I just meant from the perspective of "when I open the paper up" (when I see it at my parents house, because I don't subscribe to the print edition - so maybe there's a clue there too)
