Ken Klippenstein GUN OWNERS: “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” TESLA OWNERS: “Teslas don’t kill people. I mean, sure, they sometimes randomly decide to. But, really, that’s the driver’s fault for not noticing his car had turned into a missile.” BOTH: “Don’t take away my murder toy!”

Jonas Salk, inventor of polio vaccine: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" Frederick Banting, inventor of insulin: "Insulin does not belong to me. It belongs to the world." Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel: 400% price hike on COVID vaccine is "consistent with the value."

Attention, Germany! Direct call for murdering @ABaerbock by Aleksey Zhuravlev, Russian politician and member of parliament. I wonder if he's been sanctioned.
