   Person: These #COVID-19 vaccines are the least tested vaccines since medical regulations were established.
   
   Me: Did you miss the 1976 "Swine Flu" H1N1 influenza vaccine? Or the pertussis vaccine that failed in San Diego about ten years ago? Did you miss that Moderna's tests had 35K subjects and BioNTech/Pfizer had 40K in their tests? I think you need to redo your research, because your statement is false.
   
   I really need to just let people *be wrong on the Internet*.

     you know, it's funny. I wish I had more time to keep up with things online, but then again, maybe it's best this way.

     indeed, I saw that. I think the thing I would really like to do is promote the weekly CC Listening Party more. The move to a single show hasn't really increased attendance, but at least Pot-C takes care of the uploads, so that is something off my plate. We don't get a ton of views. I wonder if it is worth it.
     
     I wish I had the time to get them on archive.org. Perhaps once the housing search is concluded.
     
     In any case, here's the watch link for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgEi1WquPAGgPpLMY49wqQ
