The Shelf Life of a Corona Vaccine

When people around the world are questioning whether pharmaceutical companies are dead serious in producing a vaccine that could cure humankind of Covid-19, or whether their moneymaking agenda is to ensure that people move from a pandemic to an endemic situation, whereby they would need to be jabbed more expensively every year to protect themselves against allegedly deadlier variants of the virus.
If vaccine manufacturers’ motives were to enrich themselves and their shareholders, inquiring about the shelf life of a corona vaccine would be like asking them an uncomfortable or taboo question, which is likely to yield a vague or unhelpful answer.

White ≠ Right

When white racists and supremacists in the name of Christian nationalism want others to believe that they are the anointed and the righteous, when God’s righteousness has been credited to all believers of Christ by grace, who receive it by faith and not by works, regardless of their race, color, or social status—when God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for all believers, so that in Him they are considered “right” in God’s eyes.
Trumpublicans, January 6 “patriots,” and morally bankrupt GOP members want those who don’t look or think like them to believe that white privilege is a divine gift, which should prevail in all spheres of life at all times and in all places, turning a blind eye that white ≠ right and white ≠ might.

Grow the Pi

When you give the value of the number π correct to more significant figures or decimal places in order that a better pi approximation could be used in a calculation.
Rocket scientists want to grow the pi to play safe, because working with more digits would help reduce any loss in human lives.

911 MASK

The call by Fox News medical advisor, Dr. Tucker Carlson from Trump University, to call 911 if adults in sports attire, or children playing outside, refuse to take off their masks when told to do so, because their unacceptable behavior shows sign of blind obedience to the authorities, which want to deprive them of their personal rights.
The 911 mask call by right-wing media channels is aimed at debunking the outdoor mask myth propagated by alt-leftists, who want to control the lives of millions of uninformed citizens.

The Geography of Math

When the mathematical proficiency or quantitative literacy of a country is linked to the location where its math curriculum was formulated—for example, both developed and developing countries that have adopted the Singapore math curriculum, or adapted part of it, have generally performed better than those that are reluctant to take the risks.
Just as the color of the cat doesn’t matter as long as it catches the mouse, so the geography of math shouldn’t be a big concern for parents and politicians if the local or foreign math curriculum could produce a quantitatively literate or numerate citizentry.

Djokovicinated

When an unvaccinated person assumes that the authorities would grant them a medical exemption to take part in a national event, tournament, or competition because of their fame and wealth, or denying them a privileged or unfair entry would incur loss of tourism revenue and create negative publicity for the country.
In appealing against the cancellation of a visa entry to Australia—which was decided in the name of “health and safety and in the public interest”—lawyers of the world’s number one tennis player failed to convince the court that their djokovicinated client wouldn’t "increase in anti-vaccination sentiment" and even incite "civil unrest.”

Procrastination

A long word for “not now.”
Procrastination is recommended if you are looking for a God (or great) instead of a good idea.
