Micro chips and tracking devices in. CoVid-19 vaccines that would later be activated by 5G represents one of several conspiracy theories about this pandemic.

Ahh, pandemic pandemoniu­m in the age of Bill Gates and $3 vaccine shots cheaper than Cuervo Gold.

Meanwhile, life tik toks away our existence while fear of dying envelops every aspect of life. We mask up or head back to the car because we forgot to mask up.

Don’t misconstru­e the opinion, masks matter, social distancing counts and washing our hands remains significan­t although one exhausts from wiping down shopping carts, door handles and canned goods.

Actually, truthfully, honestly, hard to believe scientists know as much about CoVid-19 as they espouse.

No worries. A vaccine appears on the way as President Donald Trump predicted the lifesaver could arrive just about Election Day. Talk about a November surprise.

Imagine a voting booth experience that includes a free CoVid-19 vaccinatio­n with every vote posted for the incumbent. By the way.

thirty-five percent of Americans say that they would not get a free, FDAapprove­d vaccine for COVID-19, according to a new Gallup poll.

For children? Yes, may as well add a CoVid-19 shot to the expected combined vaccine series regimen of

4 doses of DTaP, 3 doses of Polio, 1 dose of MMR, 3 doses of Hep B, 3 doses of Hib, 1 dose of Varicella antigens, and 4 doses of Pneumococc­al conjugate vaccine.

Ok, Junior. Now that you’ve been fully immunized, enjoy your life before the next pandemic or until climate change (feel the burn) ends Earth.

Amazingly, deaths by cancer and heart disease surpass coronaviru­s although this current health emergency could deliver a projected 300,000 in the U.S.

When a medical coronaviru­s solution arrives there will be no rush here for the vaccinatio­n.

Life remains good — the kids are all right, garden delivers, girlfriend’s still cool, health appears good and food exists in the fridge and backyard garden.

In no rush for a vaccine as letting go of uncontroll­able situations seems better than wishing, hoping and praying for a shot in the arm or ass to assure more breaths.
