Video captures the frustration of scientists watching governments ignore their pandemic advice

If you've ever longed for folks to take pandemic precautions — you know, things like masks, filtration, ventilation, etc. — more seriously, think how scientists who advocate for all of these things must feel. Well, these frustrations were recently captured perfectly by Twitter user Fjord Pining, who posted their version of that viral video showing TikTok user Tired Actor responding to Brock1137 putting all of the different shaped pieces into the wrong holes.

Fjord Pining's titles his version "Scientists watching Governments follow their advice," and names the wooden pieces "vaccine," "booster," "masks," "filtration," "quarantine," "ventilation," and "air quality monitoring." Instead of the wooden pieces going into their appropriate holes, all of the pieces go into the "vaccine" hole — it's a clever commentary on the frustration scientists (and other reasonable people) feel about the "vaxx and relax" pandemic response that continues to ignore all of the other ways we could be mitigating COVID-19.
