No. Deliberately DO NOT ORDER doses of the vaccine and repeat the situation of Early Spring, where we had the Hunger Games with the States.
This action should make clear that he thought that he was going to cheat his way back to the White House, and so he was going to ‘punish’ disloyal states with the vaccine.
Also, Pfizer wasn’t part of “Warp Speed”, so he couldn’t take credit for it. And, if he couldn’t take credit for it, what good is it
This is why the so-called COVID-19 Task Force didn’t want to ” share” their work with the incoming Biden Administration-

US border sees surge of migrant children amid COVID pandemic
The number of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border has nearly doubled in recent weeks, and smugglers are using riskier tactics to get them across, a top U.S. Border Patrol official says.
Agents are apprehending an average of 153 young migrants a day at the border since October, up from about 80 a day earlier this year, Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz, Border Patrol’s second in command, said in an interview with USA TODAY.
In all, Border Patrol agents apprehended 4,764 unaccompanied minors in October, up from 741 in April – a more than 540% jump, according to court filings by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol. In a six-day span in November, border agents apprehended 997 unaccompanied minors – more than in the entire month of April.

Biden’s ‘summit of democracies’ can rally allies against autocracies

Jonas Parello-Plesner
Executive director, Alliance of Democracies Foundation
Copenhagen, Denmark
Joe Biden is right to convene a summit of democracies at a time when autocracies are on the offensive against the free world.
China is picking off democratic states with strategic investments and trying to mould the rules-based order in its image of state subsidies and authoritarian tech. Russia is sparking disorder around the free world with disinformation campaigns, election meddling and corrupt money flows.
If the free world does not show unity, we will continue to dissemble. And a free world divided will not stay free forever.
In her op-ed “Biden’s ‘summit of democracies’ won’t work” (December 8), Shada Islam argues that interests and values often do not align across the free world. This is true, of course — and one of the problems that such a summit would address.
Democratic leaders’ short-term economic priorities have led to dependency. Beijing has exploited divisions between governments when it comes to state-subsidized 5G, for example, or the Belt and Road Initiative and one-sided supply chains.
That is precisely why we need a joined-up response from democracies. The G20, which the author highlights as the gold standard of efficient international cooperation, is not apt for the job. It is stocked with autocratic spoilers.
To counter threats from autocratic powers, we need common initiatives that make the democratic path more economically attractive and enable us to forge common initiatives on 6G, quantum computing and artificial intelligence to serve the cause of freedom. This will be difficult, but the alternative is worse: that tomorrow’s technology serves the cause of Chinese authoritarianism.
Ultimately, we can’t solve election interference with the Russians in the room, or set digital standards while China watches on. Nor should we fall into the trap of seeing a preference for democracy as antagonistic to multilateralism.
A summit of democracies would also give voice to activists fighting for democracy around the world, as in Hong Kong, Venezuela and Belarus. Their fight should be our fight, and we must find ways across the free world to support them.
President-Elect Biden opened the first Copenhagen Democracy Summit and co-founded our Transatlantic Commission on Election Integrity to curb election meddling. He knows what allies can do when they work together and he is right to rally the democratic world. A global summit is a first step to putting freedom back on the front foot.
Quando partimos, a única coisa que deixamos é o nome
All our lives we need to be able to awaken in other good feelings, to be kind, to be able to soften life (even in the worst moments), so that when our ‘evening’ comes, we can close our eyes and be a good memory in someone’s life.
A frase é da apresentadora, Ana Maria Braga. Não por acaso, acabei vendo essa dose de filosofia hoje, e confesso que gostei, porque ela me permitiu, dentre outras coisas, observar alguns valores raros. Essa colocação feita por Ana, foi algo que me chamou atenção porque nos faz olhar para a vida com mais coragem, principalmente depois das perdas. Ana dizia ainda que, quando nascemos, a primeira coisa que nos colocam é um nome. E aí, passamos a ser reconhecodos por ele. O que construímos ou deixamos de fazer, o nome é a maior referência na vida de uma pessoa.
Segundo Ana, engana -se quem pensa que é o sucesso que a pessoa faz, ou os bens, casa, dinheiro, propriedades. Nada disso, porque quando você volta novamente, ou seja, quando você morre, ‘ feliz é quem consegue deixar um nome’.
É impossível separar o nome de nossas atitudes, se ingênua ou…
