Rockets aināt gonna cut it. Weāre gonna need a ābigger boatā. We need to take on the issue of *whether* we humans can get out of here to diversify our risk using *physics*. Not rockets. Rockets only buy us Mars. If that. Think bigger. #Physics https://t.co/GAU1SjQZSl Quoted tweet from @DrBrianKeating: Launched 45 years, 16,436 days ago, traveling 10 miles/sec, the farthest human technology has ever gotten from Earth is less than 1 light-DAY. The nearest exoplanet (Proxima Centauri b) is 1778x farther away. Voyager would take 80,000 years to arrive. Space is unimaginably vast twitter.com/nsfvoyager2/stā¦

āRussia will never invade Ukraine.ā Look, I donāt know what is about to happen. But the difference is that I know that I donāt know. Many of you are absolutely sure of one thing or the the other about Russia and Putin. And the truth is that if thatās you, you donāt know either. https://t.co/hzQo2Et56P Quoted tweet from @GBNEWS: Russia says UK will āphysically cease to existā in fresh nuclear war warning gbnews.uk/news/russia-saā¦

As a parent? Iām lost. I donāt hear a conversation. Iām used to the austere language of DALYs / QALYs, tradeoffs, expected value, disease burden, Iatrogenics, etc. Iām used to the language of adaptive landscapes / viral evolution. But this style thinking is *unknown* in science.

This is like your uncle telling you āYou need to put your entire retirement account 100% in crypto. Right now. Iāll tell you which ones are hot. We are wasting time. Iāll show you. Iāll do it right now. Whatās your password for your retirement account? Iāve got a browser openā¦ā

Look. In this analogy, maybe your uncle is right. I donāt know. He *has* made good calls before. But heās also made bad calls before. And this isnāt the way we typically act when we really know what weāre doing. So I donāt know. This feels like pressure on loving parents.

To sum it all up: the advice to vaccinate with really new types of pharmaceuticals should feel like it comes from scientists who are *100%* on their game as scientists. Instead it feels like a call center overseas trying to pressure your widowed great aunt to buy gift cards.š

I was listening to NPR just the other day. It was phrased in something like the following way as I remember it: āGood news for parents, the long wait for vaccines for their young children is finally over.ā Completely dissing parents with concerns about vaccinating low risk kids. https://t.co/J7BuDSLx98 Quoted tweet from @keith_hebert: @EricRWeinstein What about the sudden emergency to get young children vaccinated?

The way I hear it: we assume the argument that all good parents agree: āCOVID vaccines = Clear Pure Good. Slam dunk. Costless & Riskless. No Brainer. Science.ā āVaccine concerns = Right Wing / AltRight, anti-science mental illness. Fox Newsesque. MAGA Adjacent. Anti-American.ā
