No, this is usually how this stuff goes down. And if a patient dies while your medical device is sustaining their life you may also be dragged into court. Sometimes the engineers who developed the device are named in lawsuits.

Even if the lawyers didn't do this the FDA would roll in and stop them from producing the valves without pre-market approval.

If somebody died of respiratory failure in an ICU and it came to light that the ventilator was in fact manufactured by a combine harvester company, you'd need to hire a team of bodyguards to keep the lawyers away.

Trump went on TV and said "I don't know about that, we have people in the administration who, I don't know, I haven't heard of that, I just work here" in response to a question about the pandemic team being shut down in 2018. He's not going to let the government take responsibility for anything.

The pandemic team wasn't shut down. It was just streamlining in which all the experts on pandemics were eliminated because there were no pandemics going on, and we rolled their jobs into the Directorate of Counter proliferation and Biodefense. Because as you know, terrorists with nukes and infectious diseases are the same type of problem and can be dealt with the same way.

It is the same bullshit doublespeak when a company brings in a consultant who assured everyone he isn�t looking to make layoffs. Instead he will be looking for efficiencies and will right-size the company in order to meet the evolving conditions in the market. Then half the workers are laid off. Expenses for the next quarter are down and he collects a big bonus before moving on to the next victims, I mean new exciting opportunities.

There will be no more oversight. poo poo's been happening since cameras started rolling in BC and nothing ever happens.

Joi Harris was a professional motocross racer who was hired to double Domino on Deadpool 2. Although she was an accomplished racer, this was the first time doing stunts on a film. She had successfully completed the stunt in question five times, when on the the sixth take she overshot a platform, struck a curb, and was thrown helmetless through a plate glass window. During the investigation, the production claimed that it was "not possible" to CGI Zazie Beetz's face overtop a helmet, even though Fincher had done it with Rooney Mara in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo almost 10 years earlier. The studio received a Worker's Compensation fine, settled out of court with Harris' family, and the movie made a poo poo ton of money.

Late least year, Ron Perlman was driving a truck while shooting some non-union indie shitter in the Okanagan when he had a geezer moment and drove through video village (the area where the director and key crew members can watch what the cameras are capturing), running over a number of propane canisters that were being used to heat the tents, and causing a minor foot injury to one crew member. The producers reportedly attempted to continue shooting for the rest of the day, causing a number of crew members to quit. TMZ has footage of the aftermath.

In 2016, Maze Runner star Dylan O�Brien was almost killed during a "vehicle transfer" stunt when he fell from one vehicle and was struck by the other. He suffered serious physical injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. The production was halted and it took O'Brien almost a year to recover.

In 2014, on the set of Falling Skies, a parked but un-chocked production truck rolled backwards down a hill, pinning a Teamster security guard against a tree and killing him. The tailgate had been lowered to load equipment, and was reportedly a factor in his death. I actually heard someone say that "he was cut in half by the tailgate, but being stuck in that position kept him alive, so they brought his wife and family to say goodbye before they moved the truck, which they knew would kill him, which reminded me of how stupid people fall for urban legends, and also that the M. Knight Shyamalan movie Signs was loving awful except for that one scene where Joaquin Phoenix is watching TV.

In 1998, Vancouver stuntman Marc Akerstream was killed when he was struck in the head by a piece of flying debris while watching the explosion of an empty rowboat on TV series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. You may remember him as the gang member Jackie Chan fights with a pinball machine in Rumble in the Bronx. Akerstream was not involved in the stunt, but was watching the explosion from the shore when debris ricocheted off a tree behind and struck him in the head.

In 1997, local stuntman Keith Perepelkin was killed in Squamish, British Columbia during filming of blockbuster Howie Long masterpiece Firestorm. Perepelkin was dropped from a helicopter attached to a 50-lb dummy, but his chute failed or did not open. He had never completed a low-altitude jump before, was wearing a high-altitude pack with no reserve, and the helicopter he jumped from was reportedly only half as high as it was supposed to be per the stunt permit. A number of non-local members of the crew fled the country after the failed stunt. I don't believe anyone ever faced trial, even though the stunt coordinator, Glenn Wilder, and executive producer, Louise Rosner, were charged with criminal Workers Compensation violations. The production was eventually fined a grand total of $60,000, which was probably more than that piece of poo poo made after publicity costs.

This is just Vancouver and the surrounding area. Google 'Sarah Jones Midnight Rider' if this post didn't make you angry enough.

Look up the movie Roar sometime if you want another, horrible example of behind the scenes fuckery.

Oh hey, you know that UK government herd immunity idea? You know how over the weekend it was looking like they had started to panic?

Turns out the model they based their response on, over the advice of the WHO, wasn't even modelling Corona. It was modelling pneumonia. The panic was them realising that their projected deaths was at least 50% too low. Because of their abject incompetence we're now looking at a quarter million dead, if we're lucky.

Still not forcing closure of schools, business and gatherings though.

Modest Mao posted:

I think China's project is basically to show that state power is absolute and to 'reeducate' the local populace, and to the end of stopping violent attacks I believe the evidence shows it works which is why the CCP is saying "what's the problem?"

One thing that I think is less talked about is that Xinjiang is now about 50/50 Uighur ethnic, around 11mil people, and Han see them as minority. Xinjiang is 'autonomous' and the government does have uighur members.

Also from this population of 11 million, the imprisoned officially make up 22% of prisoners in a country of 1,386 million.

The government has, since the foundation of the CCP, nominally tried to protect minority groups, excluding them from the one child policy (now two child policy) and giving them favor for getting into good schools, etc. A lot of Han will see these camps as a trade off for those favorable policies, "okay now your people have to learn the official language and support our government, after they supported you." I see that a lot in comments on chinese sites about this topic.

I think these facts help me understand the narrative better
