My completely uninformed guess is:

1. we all forgot how to drive like normal people during/after lockdowns and,
2. cars continue to get bigger and heavier, so accidents are more likely to result in total loss

Presumably not, since the repurposed cells won’t have the same surface antigens that the immune system targets for destruction.

Add me to his list of a “small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.” What a turd.

Sad that NPR didn’t ask the tough questions.
