Dec. 22 (W), 2021 No country/individual is an island amid the Pandemics: the vaccine inequality vs. action-n-inaction




"...Government quizzed on what assessment they have made of (1) the estimates that less than one per cent of COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered to low-income countries (2) the reports of increasing COVID-19 (a) infection rates, and (b) fatalities, in parts of (i) South Asia, (ii) South East Asia, and (iii) Africa, and (3) the need to balance sending vaccines to these regions against the decision to provide a third vaccination for 32 million people in the UK..."

Nov. 10 (F), 2021 Surplus, the Saha World, and the Model of "Democracy"






One was built based on a democratic-capitalistic principle, while the other one, was baptized through thousand years of feudalistic-hierarchical Confucianism. The latter was downtrodden through the 批孔揚秦運動/slander-Confucius-and-praise the first emperor Chin Shi Hwang, during 10 years' cultural revolution (1966-1976), replaced by a new type of powerful religion - Dictatorial "Democracy".

Since 2004, the Confucian Ideology was repackaged into the Confucius Institute Trojan Horses,  "exported/sold" in infiltrating (correction of a typo - not infuriating) 146 countries with 9 million foreign learners.

Some research/propaganda disseminate the ideas that their 1.3 billion people don't fit, don't know/like, nor deserve the western type of "Imperfect" democracy, for freedom is at odd with their culture/traditions and the Hitlerian-Nationalism.

In short, pursuing "Happiness" without liberty, freedom/democracy is effective, efficient in defining and exercising their "Democracy".

Some fb friends might think that I am a "conservative" to post like these. Perhaps, just some facts, not related to specific ideologies - could be my biases...

In fact, a peaceful CCP which "values" human rights, animal rights and the earth justice, isn't it a good thing?

General speaking, some socialistically oriented countries or political entities tend to sympathize or align with similar politico-economic ideologies. Associated with communism (whether the original or a fake one), fighting for "social justice" with guts for the workers, farmers, the poor, and the powerless is applaudable in against capitalism.

Indeed, the early idealistic revolutionaries, some shed their own blood to dye the red flags, while majority turned into the new powerful social class, or tyrannical ones amid a time when the masses were submerged in the obscurantism.

A different level of the economic-cultural advancement enables the practice of the Nordic Model, prevailing in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It comprises the economic and social policies as well as typical cultural practices. This model includes a comprehensive welfare state and multi-level collective bargaining based on the economic foundations of social corporatism, with a high percentage of the workforce unionized and a sizable percentage of the population employed by the public sector (roughly 30% of the work force in areas such as healthcare, education, and government).

Developed in the 1930s under the leadership of social democrats, the Nordic model gradually began to gain attention after World War II.

The Nordic model is recognized as a kind of genuine "hybrid" system which features a blend of capitalist economics with socialist values, representing an alternative to American-style capitalism. It has been positively received by some politicians and political commentators in the poverty reduction, gender equality, and the rest of protecting, promoting human rights, animal rights and the Earth rights.

"...It's been very common to use an evolutionary tree — or a family tree — of these SARS-CoV-2 viruses to catch introductions in places like Australia and Taiwan that have not had a lot of local spread," says Bedford. "You can figure out where the importations are coming from by looking at the viral genome and checking, 'Is it close in its sequence characteristics to [strains] that are circulating elsewhere that have been sequenced and shared with the database?' "

Scientists can then see, as they continue to take samples in the new region over time, how each particular strain starts to pick up additional — often benign — mutations step by step until it morphs into a significantly different strain.

But Bedford says that when you look at the family tree for this omicron variant, there's something surprising: "With omicron, your closest sequences are back from mid-2020 — so over a year ago. That is very rare to see."

In other words, while scientists can tell that this variant evolved from a strain that was circulating in mid-2020, in the intervening months there has been no trace of all the intermediate versions that scientists would have expected to find as it morphed into its current form..."

Songs for tonight:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2uTFF_3MaA

This is a nice submarine (My last name, 黃 = Yellow ).
Songwriters: John Lennon / Paul McCartney

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
Full steam ahead, Mister Boatswain, full steam ahead
Full steam ahead it is, Sergeant
(Cut the cable, drop the cable)
Aye-aye, sir, aye-aye
Captain, captain
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us (every one of us)
Has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine (submarine, aha)
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine

In 1940, the world renowned philosopher/mathematician Bertrand Russell was hired by the City College of New York to teach classes on logic, mathematics, and metaphysics of science. ...
Following Manning's denunciation, a group of religious individuals lobbied New York City government institutions to reject Bertrand Russell's position as professor.
" It was compared with the acclaim received by Voltaire in 1778, on his return to Paris, the place where he had been imprisoned and from which he had later been banished. In 1950 also, a Swedish committee, whose standards were
presumably 'lower than common decency requires,' awarded Bertrand Russell the Nobel Prize for Literature...."
