The eagle king of the time Gwaihir owed Gandalf a favor for helping with an arrow wound in the time of the Hobbit.

Idk how they are portrayed in the Hobbit movies but it should be noted they are intelligent and can talk (I know they don't in the LOTR movies).

This decade has lasted centuries.

1. Not the easiest thing to switch countries at least for MD/DOs. Only Canada and New Zealand accept US doctor qualifications (and not all specialities) without requiring additional training and sometimes repeating residency/fellowship.

Many countries (US included) have had high demand for decades but still put a lot of obstacles in the way.

Unsure about nurses.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_vaccine

The first (indirect) human mrna vaccine was trialed in 2001. A different direct infection trial was reported (completed and analyzed) in 2008 it was a safety and efficacy trial. Then there was the 2013 rabies trial (101 participants safety trial) then others for flu, zika, cmv, and chikungunya. This isn't a very complete list of the trials that occurred as many of the early ones were for cancers.

You can see a more complete but not necessarily full list of in progress and completed mrna trials https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?intr=Mrna easily noted is that between the rabies vaccine and the HIV (both before covid19 existed) there are already over 151 people that received it and both trials were safety trials. That's before the aforementioned cancer trials, your source is wrong. Unless it is for something rare safety trials are always done first or(more recently) in combination with the efficacy trial.

The Webster definition is morally bad or wrong.

What morals a person has can vary and can be contextual as well so there isn't an easy definition. Asking for that really detracts from the point. Which is more what are your morals and which of those are strongly held and which are weaker.

Emotionally?, as many as can fit.

Not the specific diseases(cause covid-19 didn't exist), the technique/methodology. MERS and SARS are different things.

Adenovirus was used as far back as the 1963 (it had problems then), for "resporatory disease". and was used for ebola vaccines as recent 2020. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9543183/#B84

mRNA (very much not DNA) was trialed in the 1990s to treat flu in mice and in a human rabies vaccine attempt in 2013. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/the-long-history-of-mrna-vaccines

It can take a while to get over a layoff when it's unexpected, it isn't so different than a relationship ending. We spend a lot of time at work and often put a lot of ourselves into our jobs.

This could be depression or just delayed grief as needing to find a job on short notice tends to block out a lot of emotion and it can take a bit after getting a job for that block to loosen.

What helps you get out of the funk and what helps someone else get out probably varies. For me a decent walk around the neighborhood/park and decreased phone time are/were very helpful. Even mild alcohol use was a very temporary thing that created a long-term detriment. Society sucks at teaching healthy coping mechanisms.

Which is still blindingly fast. It got EUA or emergency use authorization. Most drugs take 5-10y of trials not including the decade+ of basic R+D to reach approval.

A large reason for that speed was other mRNA vaccines in trials safely for a few decades and the adenovirus being in use for other vaccines already.

This isn't a question of functionality but just whether a system whether basic arithmetic, music, etc makes logical/intuitive sense.

Imperial measurements using feet, yards, mph, etc instead of metric centimeters, meters, kph, etc. Sure imperial works but it doesn't make the same sense that metric does. Math can be done in base 2, base 60 or whatever it doesn't make the same sense as base 10.

Wildfires and drought count.

Your dense urban city is not safe from natural disasters. See Katrina and New Orleans or NYC and superstorm Sandy. We all get fucked by this.
