Am I the only one that is weirded out by the "biodiversity" tag when she looks like she has some asian heritage?

Well, firstly the president can be suspended by a majority vote of the parliament, and then completely removed from office by a vote of the people. But the parliament can only call a vote against the president if they deem he violated the constitution. After removal, our equivalent of house speaker would act as temporary president for a few weeks/months until early elections can take place. We call them early elections, but anyone elected would have complete powers, with a full term.
For the government, again the parliament can hold a vote of no-confidence and then decide on a new prime-minister that will form a new government. This procedure has happened quite often unfortunately. No new elections in this case. But if the parliament fails to come to an agreement on who should lead the new government, then I think it's the president who gets to call for new early parliamentary elections. Again, the newly elected parliament would get a normal full term. During this entire time we of course have a temporary government (different from the previous one that was kicked out) but their powers are somewhat limited.
Our constitution doesn't really allow this chain of command replacement thing America has going. We don't just substitute the president for the next in command until there's no one left. We can do it on a temporary basis and with limited power, only to have someone in the chair until we can organize elections ASAP, if the president is kicked out or dead.
@colonelj
That's pretty bad fam... We have mechanisms in place to replace the president, the government or the parliament if needed. Not all of them are easy to do, cause the criteria for them to happen are pretty strict, but they exist.

I keep reading the title of the article, and for the life of me I can't understand it. Are they talking about a different Assange or something?

Now you're just being obtuse on purpose.

A surgeon isn't expected to perform on 300 million people at the same time either.
My response was that companies have protections even if a vaccine is declared safe for the same reason a competent surgeon still has insurance, because something completely unforeseeable can always happen, no matter how prepared you are.
Your dissatisfaction is why they have this specific type of protection, that is above what malpractice insurance offers. And the answer should be obvious, there's magnitudes of degrees difference between the risk faced by the two. A company making a vaccine for 300 million people has a lot more opportunities for something unpredictable to happen than a doctor that would treat at best tens of thousands of patients during their lifetime.
Also, my understanding is that malpractice insurance doesn't reimburse the surgeon, it reimburses the ones suing directly.

Romania doesn't have this weird letter system. For us, anything below 50% is a fail.
For the first few years of school we had (not sure if it's still in effect) a system of: very good, good, satisfactory and unsatisfactory.
"very good" was roughly 85-100%
"good" was 70-85%
"satisfactory" was "50-70%
Anything below was unsatisfactory, and considered a failing grade.
If you fail at 1-2 classes, you need to pass an exam to pass the year.
If you have 3 failing classes, it's an automatic repeat of the school year.

From what I've heard mRNAs have been rejected because the conditions needed for storing/transporting were impractical. To the point where needing to store them at -70 Celsius (that would be -94 Fahrenheit) is seen as an improvement enough to where it is viable.
@icedquinn @realcaseyrollins @Terry
>if coronavirus vaccines were legit then why...
Maybe because the flu is not a coronavirus.
>why do they have liability protection
That's probably standard practice. It's like asking "if a surgeon is competent, why does he have malpractice insurance."
@Terry
Also, I'm dumbfounded that she keeps mentioning that people will have cytokine storms, when that's literally what people are already having due to covid, without any vaccines.
@Terry
The bs starts at about 5:10. Yes, the RNA goes into you and makes you start producing the virus proteins so that your body can mount an immune response. But the RNA is an unstable molecule (which is why the vaccine needs to be stored at sub-zero temperatures in the first place). The thing degrades in your body by itself, quite fast. You don't get this effect of "your body tries to get rid of it, but it can't because it's a part of you now".

I know, I know, I barely started watching, but how do we know that the people that made covid-19 antivirus didn't already account for this study?
@colonelj
I initially read this as which will be the first, and I though of Russia or China. But the last, it's gonna be between America, UK, and maybe Australia. But USA and UK are the main contenders.
