97. This is what you get when you give credibility to someone whose only qualification

Aug 2018

Is having been in a traumatic event.

My mom died of cancer, it was a very traumatic event for me, and I’m a huge proponent of supporting cancer research as a result. But I don’t pretend that makes me qualified to declare I know better how to run a hospital or how to determine priority for a research lab and demand everyone running it leave because they haven’t found a cure yet. And I don’t go around insulting people working hard on the issue because they don’t have results ast enough for me.
