@molly0xfff seems slightly negligent for a CEO to be wrong by an infinite amount (0x leverage vs 1.7x leverage is infinite right? Lol)
@jgownder it is so risky now. Staying in is a good plan.

Institute for Protein Design -
@jgownder and this summer South Korea ordered lots of doses of a new vaccine that doesn't need deep freeze. I'm trying to find the source. whether it works better than the current vaccines I don't know. but it can reach more of the world. let me see if I can find the reference.
@jgownder this is interesting. South Korea is going to work with Nigeria on covid vaccine production - https://leadership.ng/nigeria-south-korea-partner-on-public-health-vaccine-production/
Nigeria, South Korea Partner On Public Health, Vaccine Production

Nigeria and South Korea have signed an MoU to partner in the public health sector, and in particular facilitate training of Nigerians in vaccine production.

@molly0xfff oh that is cool!
@jgownder this is so bad. My father remembers his mother spent months in the sanitarium for TB. Covid is our generations' TB and our current vaccines are not effective enough to stop this. Hopefully the next generation of vaccines helps. Crossing my fingers.
@molly0xfff whether they _should_ be investing in speculative products is a different and important question.
@molly0xfff I suspect the loss will be close to a rounding error. They are a behemoth and have investments in just about everything.
@jgownder this is really welcome news.
