This is cheaper than two super carriers.

Yeah, but how many brown children can it kill?

If you ask the scientists in my local Facebook group, it could kill all of them. That is, the ones not already killed by vaccines and 5G.

It confirmed lyrics true that 100% of vaccinated people will die.

I was kind of thinking that $22 billion really doesn’t seem like that much money for a project like this.

The feds give the states more than $16b per year to build and run shitty, custom made IT systems for their Medicaid programs. It's basically a subsidy to IT companies. There are thousands of examples like this, where spending money on fundamental science is clearly a better investment.
