1:30:30 it's only like 30-something % effective against moronic
Soyence behind this is pretty simple: you need to get three boosters at a time which gives you near 100% effectiveness!

1:08:25 Who knows what they're protesting about
They had a huge increase in gas prices, which was the last straw which broke camel's back. They've been living in poverty and lawlessness under the rule of a corrupt president and at some point they just had enough. People just started to gather to a peaceful protest in a decentralized manner, their police couldn't identify any protest leaders to round up and the police didn't figure out anything better than to beat the shit out of a protestors and the whole thing has escalated into a nation-wide riots which were used as a smoke screen. Old leader (Nazarbayev, who is nowhere to be seen by now which makes people to suspect that he's dead despite different people from a government saying otherwise) being overthrown by his puppet Tokayev. Protests just kept raging, self-appointed leader kicked out heads of an executive branch of their government and announced new parliament elections conveniently removing all of his predecessor's friends from a positions of power. This wasn't enough to stop the protests and Tokayev couldn't figure out a peaceful way to deal with a protestors who wanted to see him in jail. And so this dude probably with some help from his advisors has conceived an ingenious plan - they've decided to let go all the criminals from all the prisons within and around their capital at once and when crime surges blame the protestors, call them terrorists and shoot them, yes, with live ammunition. Meanwhile local police force and military detachments has started to take a side of a perceived winner - the people. So when a "devious plan" has been enacted protestors had some people who can fight on their side. And so criminals were out, crime surge was in place and then Tokayev makes his statement saying their capital was attacked by terrorists and there 20000, yes 20k, of them and all of them must be killed. So he just slammed the door shut behind the police and military officers who left his side and left them no other choice but to fight back. Things were quickly falling apart around Tokayev while "terrorists" were fighting back and he decided to make another brilliant move - he invited foreign military lol. Later some unknown people who may or may not be foreign solders in the capital were shooting locals on sight while ex-military and police are trying to mount a defense and fight back. After a few days of a bloody massacre everything went quite, Tokayev is trying to stand firm on his own legs and stop relying on foreign military and places loyal people in a positions of power, others are trying to survive without getting in prison. Also Tokayev had promised to keep implementing "new normal" in a Great Reset sense.
