A fact about Rwanda's genocide has always stuck with me: the ruling party caused much of the killing simply by going on the radio and telling ethnic Hutus that ethnic Tutsis must be killed (along with Hutus who disapproved). Many people listened, and dismembered their neighbors.

4. It is highly unlikely that a vaccine will be a complete solution to the pandemic. We will still need an effective test, trace and isolate system and a strong health service. No vaccine can inoculate us against an incompetent and corrupt government.

A party that doesn't win the White House in a landslide after the incumbent killed 230,000 people should engage in some self-reflection, I think
