Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.While Vague did indeed discover such a strain of bacteria, the claim made in the meme about her losing the Times Person Of The Year award to Thunberg (the meme couldn't even spell her name right) is false, and frankly impossible given the circumstances regarding Vague's discovery that took place in 2018 and not 2019.-

Misinformation from Fakebook there I'm afraid, which is why I don't trust sources on that platform. In fact, a good number of those "alternative" media sources should be treated with skepticism just like mainstream media sources do. I find nyself questioning everything these days.
That all aside, I am quite interested in Vague's discovery, and we should be talking about that part more.
