OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

But poor soldering & too much lead made them potentially dangerous & illegal. Several products have been recalled

In the Bible, hares are unclean.
In Christian art, they symbolise resurrection.

In folklore, they stand for fertility.

Could really do without the torrent of weird almost nostalgia for the start of lockdown. It was a shit time. My mum died. I want to put it behind me and move forward, thanks. Would rather celebrate the fact that we created and delivered effective Covid vaccines that saved and continue to save lives.
