Covid-19 Vaccine

The only hope for the developed countries to prevent their economies from further declining, and for the developing countries to prevent theirs from collapsing, as a result of the pandemic—when vaccination for the population is the solution to economic salvation.

The shortage of Covid-19 vaccines and the poorly constructed vaccine distribution channels in most developing countries only push them to the back of the line in securing billions of shots for their people—when donations via vaccine diplomacy aren’t being helped by poor storage facilities in many developing nations.

vvacinatedd

Dangerously, irresponsibly, and selfishly receiving another two more shots after being fully vaccinated earlier for convenience purposes.

A 30-year-old single who prefers showing an electronic proof of his vaccination status when visiting karaoke lounges decided to get vvacinatedd: he’s jabbed with the BioNTech vaccine despite having previously received two Moderna shots.

Vaccination Is Political

When the rates of vaccination in the United States are lowest among Trumpublicans, religious folks, and conspiracists in red states, compared to higher inoculation rates among those who voted for Joe Biden nationwide.

That there is a positive correlation between vaccination and votes in the US is unmistakable, because vaccination is political there, which means that more infections and fatalities in the face of the deadlier delta and delta-plus variants are expected in states with high proportions of unvaccinated people.

Mask Operation

When the authorities ruthlessly enforce the wearing of masks in public places for both people and pets, and also for the thousands of mute and deaf gods and goddesses (or deities and idols) in religious quarters, to contain the surge of infections and fatalities, so that those who fail to do so are dealt with severely, with heavy fines and jail sentences for anti-maskers, or even caning for repeated offenders.

For rogue nations, mobilizing thousands of ambassadors nationwide in begging the public to don a face mask is a waste of time and a sign of political weakness; what the dictators want is to launch a mask operation to get the whole nation into quick action.

Pi Is Sovereign

When mathematics’s most famous constant π transcends different math topics and disciplines, permeates both art and science, and lays hidden in philosophy and religion, often popping up in the least expected places in nature—the symbol π is a global icon that resonates positively or negatively with peoples of all ages and backgrounds.

Pi is sovereign among dozens of mathematical constants, but God is Sovereign among thousands of gods and goddesses, or deities and idols.
