Googling a bit it does seem women are much more likely to get injured than men conditional on being in an accident. It’s worth learning why that is (it may be known too I just haven’t googled that much) and if there’s a way to make it better (as opposed to more equitable) then yeah go
I would have thought it was bloody obvious that they should model different body types with crash test dummies. They have kids modeled, why not women?
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to model obese people, really tall people, etc. too.

Nice to see that the Biden administration's secretary of transportation acknowledges that there are actually biologic differences between men and women, even if others in the administration can't define it.

Sure.
You keep taking the de-wormer. Maybe swallow a UV light while you're at it.
If you think Fauci and Birx were the idiots in the room while Trump was speaking, I honestly don't know what to say.

I think Fauci knew the Wuhan Virus was a lab leak and lied like a dog about it.
If you want a tower of Truth and Virtue, it ain't that lying SOB...

Right that’s how things always used to work. It also used to be that public health officials didn’t recommend courses of action that killed more rather than fewer people as long as the phenotypic mix was was more to their liking. But here we are.
I feel we've also crossed a line when the President of the United States called his own senior health advisors 'idiots' as part of a losing re-election campaign, right in the middle of a pandemic that is killing millions, and which he had repeatedly tried to play down the seriousness of.
Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, Trump wasn't too far off.

I don't think anyone can honestly say in hindsight that we did not overreact. Perhaps not in the initial steps, but in how long they continued.

Everybody's a stable genius in hindsight.

I think we need to do a thorough post-mortem on our response, taking a look at what worked and what didn't, relegating our conclusions to only those that are supported by medical science, data and typical human behavior.
We have not done so.

I don't know that we did, to be honest. If you remember the horror that unfolded in Italy and New York it's easy to see why we did what we did.

Which I find astounding. A better example to learn from will not come along anytime soon. I hope.

I think that's what I said for the initial actions taken, but not for the length of time we did, and not with the outlandish outlay of funding.

The blanket payouts by both administrations were incredibly wasteful.
