The Mayor of Las Vegas offered its citizens up as a Covid-19 control group – 6 sick burns

Journalist and news anchor, Anderson Cooper, could hardly contain his amazement during this live interview with the Mayor of Las Vegas. We can’t blame him.

tl;dr – Carolyn Goodman offered up the citizens of Las Vegas like some kind of human sacrifice to the God of Gambling, while not being prepared to lie on the altar herself.

Her brutal attitude went down as well as you’d expect.

Hey FYI I’ve done a few interviews in my day where I was very drunk and offered up a whole city to potentially get sick and maybe some die for the sake of a few friends of mine. Cmon! https://t.co/SeIINKTYZV

Perhaps surprisingly, enlisting a large group of people in a lethal experiment without asking for consent and without oversight by an ethics committee is, in fact, frowned upon in most scientific circles.

Her flagrant disregard for the lives of Las Vegas residents wasn’t the only thing people were talking about.

Hang on, how did Eddie Izzard end up as mayor of Las Vegas? https://t.co/Ou67LtMEhu
