 A STRONG REMINDER  

A variety of Covid vaccines from competing corporations with immunity from liability are all becoming available and many people are anxious for their lives unless they receive a dose as soon as possible. I hope these anxious people, so distracted by Covid, also remember to receive before the year ends the full recommended schedule of vaccines for all adults. Each year to stay safe and healthy every adult is supposed to receive the following list of vaccine doses. Knowing how staunchly the pro-vaccine public believes in the efficacy of these products, it is unconscionable to think that any such adult would consider the Covid vaccine so necessary and not think the same of these:

1 dose - Influenza inactivated (IIV) or Influenza recombinant (RIV)

1 dose - Influenza live attenuated (LAIV)

1 or 2 doses - Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)

2 doses - Varicella

2 doses - Zoster recombinant (RZV) over age 50

1 dose - Zoster live (ZVL) over age 50

2 or 3 doses - Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

1 dose - Pneumococcal Conjugate (PCV13)

1 or 2 doses - Pneumococal Polysaccharide (PPSV23)

2 or 3 doses - Hepatitis A (HepA)

2 or 3 doses - Hepatitis B (HepB)

1 or 2 doses - Meningococcal A, C, W, Y (MenACWY)

2 or 3 doses - Meningococcal B (MenB)

1 or 3 doses - Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib)

1 dose - Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap) then booster in 10 years

Total possible doses per year - 30 doses

I sincerely hope that the pro-vaccine public, those people with the popular common sense to listen to the wisdom of world health tzar Bill Gates to the exclusion of all other opinions, I fervently hope that these people help ensure everyone's health and safety by dutifully heeding the call to receive the full complement of recommended doses. I honestly want these people to get everything they ask for. As they say, to do anything less would put all of us in danger. If you still haven't received the complete annual schedule this late in the year, I can't imagine how you face your day with the burden of fear and guilt for being so negligent and irresponsible. Remarkably, I also can't imagine how you've managed to stay safe and healthy this far without receiving these vital substances. Never mind that. Do the right thing - now, before it's too late. And in the lexicon of the pharmaceutical industry, may you have mild reactogenicity and low SAE's.

Will Fear Stop The Vaccine?  What To Do?

From every direction we hear the cry - we all need a vaccine as soon as possible. The world won't be safe until billions of doses of vaccine are available. Life cannot be allowed to return to any figment of normalcy until the vaccine is made ready. But Covid fearporn is everywhere. The world locks down more each day. An incessant drumbeat of 24/7 news predicts a calamitous winter of dead bodies stacking high outside overrun ICU's. The end is nigh and to utter anything but agreement with this assessment warrants being censored, attacked, and ostracized. People go ballistic and scream at anyone who dares move a muscle without wearing a mask. Life as we know is cancelled until further notice due to the extreme threat from Covid. People have nothing left to do other than cower in their homes in their hazmat suits, six feet from family members, and watch in terror as dire developments unfold on TV. 

And yet all of this fearporn raises a significant problem. Don't suggest there are any other problems with fearporn. There's only one problem and that is -- people are now too afraid to leave their houses to go get the Covid vaccine. What a dilemma. The situation is so bleak and everyone is so terribly afraid, that now ironically when the Covid vaccines are finally becoming available, the terrified populace is too catatonic with fear to go get the jab. Going outside is just too unsafe. And now with the second and third wave of Covid about to hit us, it's only getting more unsafe! We've been told this for months now. So what to do? How can we solve this horrific situation for indeed, as we are told, we all need the vaccine as soon as possible. In fact, we need several doses of it over the next year at least. In fact, Covid-19 is predicted to return every year from now on and so repeated, frequent booster jabs of vaccine will be necessary for the rest of our lives - at least. But how can we get this vital fix to the people? How can we keep them on a schedule of repeated doses over time into the unsafe years ahead?

If we combine science with lessons from the recent election in the United States, we find there is a way. Science has developed microneedle patches that are easily applied to the skin and can release vaccines safely and without need for complicated medical procedures. What we need to do is mail doses of Covid vaccine in microneedles to everyone in the country. They receive the dose at home via the U.S. Mail and then they apply the microneedle patch to their own arm. Afterward, they mail back an affidavit that acknowledges they have given themselves the vaccine. When the government receives these mail-in affidavits, the government sends back an official Covid Pass Card. The newly vaccinated person will need to show their Covid Pass Card to travel, attend events, and enter establishments of business. Only people who possess the Covid Pass Card will be allowed to travel, attend events, and enter businesses. And there should be no problem trusting the vaccine mail-in affidavits. After all, mail-in ballots worked just fine for electing a President, just ask Google, or Facebook, or Twitter, or any of the mainstream news outlets. Obviously, the same system can work for the Covid Pass Card. Anyone who questions the validity of the Covid Pass Card mail-in affidavits should immediately be fact-checked and referred to coverage of the 2020 election.
