    The thing is she randomly got lucky and proven right due to a pandemic that no-one expected. There are a huge number of other scientists out there who were also right but never had that luck.

      Randomly got lucky? What lol. Other scientists not being noticed doesn’t in any way invalidate her. How absurd

        I think they’re just trying to say, even if you’re right, you can still get screwed over. She just happened to get lucky in having a solid real world situation to help vindicate her.

        “Humans are pretty dumb”
        follows up by stating a badly structured and unsubstantiated subjective analysis of an economic system which was never used

        Whew, lads.
