Vaccine X

The label for the unnamed and unapproved half-baked coronavirus vaccine by Indian firm Biological E, which has shown “promising results” in the first two phases, and which will be available for use in the next few months, with or without WHO’s approval.

The BJP government has so much faith in Vaccine X that it has made a $206m order for 300 million doses, compared to 350 million doses from both Covishield and Covaxin, the two WHO-unapproved vaccines currently in use.

Bolsonaro Virus

The Brazilian strand of Trumpvirus, which is deadlier than the coronavirus itself—named after President Jair Bolsonaro, whose fake leadership and ineptitude had failed to contain the pandemic crisis, which he continues to downplay in spite of the rising death toll.

With more than a quarter million corona deaths, which is the second-highest number of fatalities in the world after the US, Brazil is fighting two viruses: the coronavirus and Bolsonaro virus.

Xi Thought

The capitalist-communist ideology Emperor Xi desires to indoctrinate on a billion-odd mainland Chinese citizens to “make China great again.”

Who wants a Covaxin jab?

The dreaded vaccination question everyone in Africa and Asia is avoiding to answer even as India continues to donate millions of its home-grown, half-baked vaccine, which has received zero approval from WHO, to the developing world as part of its vaccine diplomacy—when the locals themselves have near-zero faith in their own vaccine.

In and outside India, the question to ask shouldn’t be “Who wants a Covaxin jab?” but rather “Who doesn’t want a Covaxin jab?”

Political Mask

When the wearing of a face mask has turned into a divisive political issue in a number of countries that protect their citizens’ individual rights, whose selfish behaviors in donning zero masks in public in the midst of a pandemic crisis endanger the health of the majority.

Alt-right politicians are pushing their political mask agenda, by pretending to address the anti-social demands of a noisy minority to win their votes.

Covid-🦃

When desperately needed foreign workers trained to slaughter and process turkeys reared for Christmas are not allowed in the country unless they serve their 14-day quarantine on arrival, whose absence would affect producers with low supply and consumers with high price.

Thanks to Covid-🦃, a lucky percentage of the nine million turkeys in the UK would have their lives spared during this 2020 Christmas period.

Pythagorean Diet

When math geeks tell others that they eat or use zero animal products like honey, seafood, egg and diary, fish, and meat—named after Pythagoras, the Greek vegetarian mathematician-turned-numerologist.

Alt-right Trumpists and QAnonists never fail to remind each other that Adolf Hitler adhered strictly to a Pythagorean diet during his years-old tyrannical rule, unlike their Insurrectionist-in-Chief boss, who occasionally craves for junk food.
