          Here’s an interesting note, according to the CDC  300 million doses have been administered. 65.4 million are fully vaccinated while .84% are fully vaccinated. One would think that’s good news compared to a year ago. Think twice. Here comes that useless organization the UN, complaining that only ten countries have administered 75% of all vaccines. I’m shocked! There answer is “setting up another committee to plan, coordinate and implement financing” Mr. Guterres. Sound like the Paris Accords? Damn right it does. The UN does what it does best, bitch and moan with no action but have no problem asking for more money. Sound like the Paris Accords? You bet it does. They want the richest countries to donate more. I wonder who they’re talking about? How much money did the UN chip in for the development of the vaccines? A whopping 15 million compared to the US’ 9 billion!  Got to love this quote from Jagan Chapagain, “The fair and equitable distribution of vaccines is essential to building trust and for maintaining international peace and preventing violence”, he said.  “This is about more than fairness. This is about stopping the virus.” So, after all the hard word is done, they want to come in and scoop of the bounty. Hell no, is what I say. Merck, Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson can only manufacture “X” amount a day. Those countries in distress will be addressed first: US, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Mexico, Columbia, Peru, Sweden etc. The UN is liberal thinking at its finest.
