Risking All For Money

ANY BIOLOGICAL SCIENTIST, high school science teacher, or whomever, can tell you certain things, such as: man made climate change is real, evolution is a law of nature, and the upcoming Olympics in Brazil should be postponed, due to the mosquito virus thing. In fact, a petition, urging that the Brazil Olympics be either cancelled or postponed, containing the names of hundreds of such people, eminent biological scientists including epidemiologists and micro biologists, has been circulated and presented to the International Olympic Committee and the World Health Organization, both of which esteemed and influential organizations promptly rejected, ignored, or maybe even tossed the document into the trash can without so much as looking at it. Gee, how surprising. The very organization which has the final say on whether to proceed on schedule with the summer Olympics, is owned, controlled, and beholden to the billionaire interests funding the whole affair, and who have the most to gain by holding the event and the most to lose by cancelling it, choosing not to cancel, "the show must go on!" Is the World health Organization controlled by health and medical professionals, or by politicians? Take a wild guess. People from all over the world congregating in Brazil by the hundreds of thousands, among the mosquitoes carrying a deadly virus, only to return home later, with or without the virus. All because of money, and the fact that the decisions are made by the people with the most money, the most money to gain or lose. The scientists, who are objective and independent, and are overwhelmingly recommending a safer but less financially lucrative course of action, are ignored. How surprising. How intelligent, and how utterly human. Let us fervently hope that over the next few years there is no widespread outbreak of very serious cranial malformation among the world's newborn.
