In September 2006 dozens of wives and girlfriends of gang members from Pereira, Colombia, started a sex strike called La huelga de las piernas cruzadas ("the strike of crossed legs") to curb gang violence, in response to 480 deaths due to gang violence in the coffee region. According to spokeswoman Jennifer Bayer, the specific target of the strike was to force gang members to turn in their weapons in compliance with the law. According to them, many gang members were involved in violent crime for status and sexual attractiveness, and the strike sent the message that refusing to turn in the guns was not sexy.[18] In 2010 the city's murder rate saw the steepest decline in Colombia, down by 26.5%.

All the empathy in the world is going to help you exactly zero. I do feel bad for people who didn't choose this. But that doesn't mean you aren't collectively shitting the bed right now. I'm not talking about individuals. There are people trying. Not nearly enough.
This isn't sycophantic, it's desperation. They're watching the future of their industry (mRNA) disappear right in front of them, along with the related money.
They need Trump to get it in his head that the vaccine makes him a hero, so that MAGA will come around on vaccines and keep them rich.
No doubt in my mind. I bet that hurt to come out and say publicly.
Tbh I'm not sure the average Reddit user is who we want to attract here anyway. Not to be elitist, but there might be a benefit to at least some barrier to entry. From a bot/spam/troll perspective as well.
Congratulations, you just figured it out
