OK so I have a series about how anarchic organization likely would have enabled much faster vaccine development and roll out because of the lack of need for permission or secrecy at so many steps... But let's talk about how I spent 2020 and 2021... My friend Hadi and i had a small grant and were able to test the effectiveness of pooling samples in PCR testing, proving that we had no problem detecting 1 person infected in a pool of 40 people. #anarchy #pandemic #capitalism

So in the context of a post on Gelman's blog, it came up the assertion that institutions were essential to the production of the COVID vaccine and saving lives and making everything so rapidly and how wonderful they all were. So I'd like to offer this alternative counterfactual in an anarchic world. It's already known that the COVID vaccine was designed in January of 2020 before the disease had started to spread widely. #anarchy #pandemic #science
