Even with my scientific background, I cannot easily wrap my head around this number, 4.8 billion. If you think of each syringe carrying a dose as a pencil, and you put these 4.8 billion pencils side by side like they are in a colouring box, you end up with a line that is almost twice the length of the Earth’s diameter.</p> Fri, 20 Aug 2021 19:55:34 +0000 Jonathan Jarry M.Sc. 8810 at /oss /oss/article/covid-19-health/strange-case-dr-cahill-and-ms-hyde <p>“If you’re under, like, 70 or 65 and you’ve no underlying conditions,<a href="https://youtu.be/A4RvrEKoNxc?t=3542"> </a><a href="https://youtu.be/A4RvrEKoNxc?t=3542">this is all a hoax</a>.” You’d be forgiven for thinking that this wild assertion about a pandemic that has killed over 4.3 million people worldwide and caused sequelae for an untold number of survivors came from someone who knows nothing of medicine and immunology.</p> Fri, 13 Aug 2021 19:09:29 +0000 Jonathan Jarry M.Sc. 8805 at /oss
