I can't STAND goddamn idiot conspiracy theory dipshits

So we get GREAT news - that Moderno has a vaccine that, according to their data, is over 94% effective and doesn't have the ridiculous refrigeration requirements that Pfizer's vaccine has. Instead of these scientists being national heroes - which they should be, I don't give a damn who they work for or how well they're paid - I've already seen suspicious conspiracy theory dipshits talking about how suspicious it is that the vaccine came out right after the election. So all the pharmaceutical companies, all the scientists, all the phase I and II and III volunteers, everyone associated with the massive undertaking required to make a vaccine, collaborated to have the vaccine released a couple of weeks after the election so that Donald Trump would lose. It's so fucking stupid and infuriating.

They are essentially unfalsifiable. This is why they are so popular on the conservative news circuit.

Beware the news program which deals in mostly unfalsifiable claims.
