Just speculation but I would not be surprised if the pediatric overdoses of the COVID vax in the news was not due to conversion errors. Maybe it's my disgust for junk units, but I really can't come up with any other rational explanation.
Twice the amount of COVID vax administered would suggest a conversion from kg to the jolly kings "pound". https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fktla.com%2Fnews%2F14-children-get-wrong-covid-vaccine-dose-at-norcal-clinic%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7Caa0ad603d6fa4461e9d508d9ac4384c2%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637730228249515103%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=pBhhTbt7lI3Lm3Las6mh336hCDzMmYN3SOe9u61FVNc%3D&reserved=0 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fktla.com%2Fnews%2F14-children-get-wrong-covid-vaccine-dose-at-norcal-clinic%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7Caa0ad603d6fa4461e9d508d9ac4384c2%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637730228249525088%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=Py09xxj5gYyyFLGHGgSpWZ7qycL%2F9%2FH8s01UFSqymAI%3D&reserved=0> Thank God no child died but it might take something as extreme as loss of life to raise awareness on how important an intuitive knowledge of the SI is and why we need to stop farting around with antiquity to "tie us to our ancestors" Whether or not we ever hear the truth is up to the metric hating American media. Go metric, America! What are you afraid of?
