I think the Noah's Ark analogy is more to the tune of "we wanted to set up proper double blind studies but there was a pandemic so we had to do something".

We kind of take vaccines for granted now looking back at the trial and error that it took to gain said knowledge.

I just assigned your own Playlist in my Library. Your work deserves it big time! A little overwhelming in its complexity, but certainly worth the effort for the education.

Bacteria were known in 1918. But the flu is caused by a virus. When my mom got her medical degree in 1946, viruses were unknown. By the time she studied to get a medical license in the USA in 1965, viruses had been discovered and studied. It was an entirely new field she had to master before she could be licensed to practice in the USA.

Amazing explanation. Medicine is a lot of trial and error...

Gotta read about qualitative methods but will come back to this once my brain needs a break

[claratenzs]

Definitely communication. Also officials not be big fat hypocrites and keeping their own business open, and throwing fancy smanchy parties inside with their rich friends while closing small businesses down and arresting people going to a deserted beach. Lost all respect for a lot of the officials in my state because of stuff like this. Their quarantines and safety restrictions made sense, but they didn’t even have enough respect for the people to follow it themselves.
