I work with solid organ transplant data, the big things in the future are xenotransplanation like this, and cryogenics to freeze organs for as long as needed

The South African doctor is being milkshake ducked. Not for the reason any of you are speculating. She stated, in a way that Americans clearly don't understand, that selection criteria are different for different racial groups in South Africa for medical school. This is a common certain-kind-of white south African complaint about affirmative action, which like, well, affirmative action is good. I don't know if it's happening or not but she had a job, so she wasn't suffering from it. A certain kind of white person's head explodes when they get to university and like, 3/4 or so of the class is African.

Please bear in mind that South Africa is not the USA and you can't 1 for 1 compare people and political issues or guess what things mean by using your U.S knowledge.

This is a specific american political idea that like half the country believe in.

Except the shocking ratio that has to be caused by inappropriate elevation of minorities is like 10% non-white people in university.

Sure, but everyone assumed that for sure, 100%, the doctor was being cancelled by the white medical board for saying they were racist against African people. In the USA, there would be no chance that the situation that's happening in South Africa would ever happen, because in the USA you killed off almost all of the people who originally lived here.

I was born and have lived in the USA my whole life and I definitely assumed it was a white lady complaining about an Affirmative Action equivalent right away

And if the Biden admin is talking 100 million cases this fall, it will be easily much more then that.

I've found there's a weird sorta cycle happening here in oklahoma IE early week mail delivery is fine but the later it gets in the week, the more hosed it starts to get.
It's gotten to the point that I assume anything marked as set to deliver after thursday won't arrive til tuesday of next week.
