There is a coalition of almost all schools, and they're turning down his demands as a group

It can in theory be stopped if Senators vote against it. Making that happen means having Senators fear that constituents will vote them out and seek their prosecution. If you live in the US, calling your senators a call and letting them know how mad you are at the Republican agenda might just help a little.

It's technically possible for additional manufacturers to produce it, but making anything more sophisticated than the original smallpox vaccine is tough enough that you're not going to do it at home. The cold chain requirement for distribution means that it's unlikely that we're going to see an effective black market for vaccines either.

Nah. They just want to impose decisions they think will harm minorities more on people

Not surprised. Pretty standard part of corporate PR efforts, and the value to Mobil of sponsoring Masterpiece Theatre decades ago is pretty well documented.

We still don't need people to be able to fire more bullets per minute. The risk/benefit for society is pretty clearly against allowing devices like that.

The question is what is most cost-effective at cutting emissions with a limited budget. I dont claim to known the right answer, but that's how I would decide if it was up to me.

I expect that the replacement won't be as willing to publish stories critical of Trump
