COVAX principle operating at a regional level?I do see that it is galling, but one could argue it either way, I think.

I have been eloquent trying to convince the Ma of this, on the personal level. At population level, I have Severe Misgivings, along Sparrerly lines.

I so agree, Fishers. It must have been almost intolerable for him to have to be anywhere near to ****p, listening to the rubbishing of science on a daily basis.
