This is so awesome. Congratulations to all the researchers involved. Now make the treatment affordable, government orgs, that’s your job. Sickle cell mostly affects those in low income populations who already struggle with access to affordable healthcare.

My favorite business model is where upfront product costs are super low to get contract wins then upkeep requires proprietary parts or software that need to be replaced or updated frequently at nosebleed prices. Repeat this kind of bullshit enough and you can cripple an entire country’s military operation. Yay privatization! :D Oh and someone once said, you can either have your fictitious notions of a racially pure nation state or you can have a functioning economy, but not both. So choose.

I love how there has been absolutely no progress on developing a homeostatic governing body which unfortunately requires the monopoly on violence needed to keep all the silly little children in line. The UN? The European Union? The IMF/world bank? All completely inefficient because the most selfish gluttonous “countries” don’t want to share their toys with the other younger children, because despite all our TecHnoLoGicAl PrOgrESs we are still at the developmentally analogous stage of a fucking three year old who has barely become self aware. Literal monkeys. Just cancel the climate conferences at this point. Such a pathetic farce.

I think google and I are breaking up. He’s gotten way too controlling. We are “separating and seeing other people” rn. Brutal trying to figure out who gets to keep what. 😞
