CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits

The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

Anyone know what circuit board this easter egg is from, and who made it? I'm trying to find a source to attribute.

Not the quote itself, I know that's from System Shock. I mean the board that had this printed on it. Looking at reverse image search, it's one of those meme images that's been around for ever and has gone through the social media human centipede so many times that the source is just "idk internet engagement farming bots".

I'm hoping the six degrees of separation thing works out, and someone recognizes the board and can tell me who to credit.

EDIT: solved in thread! It's an ACA1221ec accelerator card for the Amiga 1200, https://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/ACA1221ec and board pic at https://www.ppa.pl/graffiti/obrazek/4095/look-at-you-hacker . From the overview board pics, this is an easter egg that's hidden under the PLCC carrier socket for the accelerator's CPU, to see it you'd have to remove the CPU (and possibly the socket? But I think the intended socket has a hole in the center) in pursuit of some kind of righteous mischief.

Thank you fedi!

Wait, people concern themselves with a follows-to-followers ratio?

Call me old-fashioned, but I follow people because I want to see their content in my feed. 🤷‍♂️
