By Lawrence Ekong
Akwa Ibom State government has begun the re-modelling and reconstruction of Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Complex into a functional world-class shopping mall with international franchise, stores and premium lifestyle centres The commissioner for information, Sir Charles Udoh, made this known while on an inspection visit to the facility to assess the level of work so far done on the project. While expressing satisfaction with the level of work so far, Sir Charles Udoh who was accompanied on the assessment tour by the chairman, Technical Committee on Foreign Direct Investment, Mr. Gabriel Ukpe, stated that Governor Udom Emmanuel remains committed to uplifting the standard of living of Akwa Ibom people through projects capable of stimulating the economy, especially as part of Post COVID-19 Economic Reconstruction Plans of his administration. The commissioner said that the mall, expected to come alive before December this year, would create job opportunities for youths in the state, increase the state's gross domestic product and enhance manpower development, which he noted, are cardinal to the Completion Agenda of Governor Udom Emmanuel. He expressed optimism that with the pace of the remodeling work on the project, the mall will be completed in record time. Also speaking, Ukpe said the project is one of Governor Udom Emmanuel's relentless efforts at making Akwa Ibom an investor's haven. Mr Gabriel Ukpe added that the governor is a visionary leader with the drive to attract foreign direct investments to the state, which, he said, is paying off, as more investors now throng the state seeking various business opportunities. He therefore urged Akwa Ibom citizens to seize the numerous opportunities that abound in the state to better their lots. Conducting the duo round the facility, the chief executive officer of Median Construction Development Nigerian Limited Mr. Olumide Akinsanya, hinted that as partners to Akwa Ibom State government in the development of the Ibom Tropicana Mall, under a public private partnership arrangement, his company is saddled with the responsibilities of redesigning and remodeling the complex into a functional mall with an additional mandate to occupy and manage the facility. He intimated that the facility's anchor, the Market Square, is expected to commence operations as soon as the remodelling of the complex is completed. The Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Complex is located at the Central Business District of Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

It started a little over a year ago. Small, winged insects with compound eyes buzzed around fruit, bread, cups of tea and standing water. I shooed them away and crushed them with newspapers when I couldn't. It never really did anything, but then again there weren't many of them to begin with. Until there were. I found them in my rice, crawling through new packets of flour, floating in the oil, gnawing through the fabric of my clothes. They were in the bathroom, in the bedroom, the shed, the kitchen, the lounge. Then there came a profound shift in psyche once discovered in my hair. I used to have a lot of it. The insects would get tangled and struggle for a while, before deciding they quite liked it there. They crawled over my scalp with perversely bristled legs, laying their eggs and shedding their skins and leaving behind viscid clumps buried in their own excrement. I washed my hair so frequently my scalp ached sore from a chemical fire. It helped for a while, but never for long. I tore at my head with fevered panic every second of every day, trying to get the damned things out; trying to relieve an itch that never ever went away. At night I lay awake in fit of abrasion, rubbing my head against the pillow, trying to smother them and stop them from settling into my eyebrows and lashes. Their wings hummed, their mouths clicked, their feet tick, tick, ticked far too loudly in the darkness, far too close for comfort. I could not sleep, and instead fell sporadically in and out of consciousness, each moment plagued by inescapable delirium. Eventually my hair dried up, each strand a shrivelled husk. Then it fell out in clumps, and finally- relief. I shaved off what was left. I pulled out all my lashes. I did not leave a single follicle on my body.
The relief was short-lived. In summer, the bugs stuck to my body, drawn by the sickly sweet smell of clothes and sheets and skin drenched in sweat that staled and dried and reappeared as reliably as I would breathe. I tried to swat them away but they pinched and bit in retaliation, leaving behind small red lumps. They itched even worse than my scalp had. I tried to resist, but I couldn't. I scratched until the bites bled, infected, scabbed over, and were re-opened by my nails or by the bugs themselves. Then they started burrowing. I couldn't stop them, not even when I dug them out with scalpels. More and more would appear, and soon I had larvae crawling out in hideous, purulent, writhing knots. Dousing the holes in bleach would get rid of them for a few days. But they always came back.
Now I sit in water. My tub is filled to the brim and I crouch below the waterline. If I did not have to breathe I would submerge myself completely, and at times I consider doing it anyway. The water is the only thing that keeps them away you see, though not for lack of trying. The surface is choked with little corpses who, in their final moments, were compelled by the septic contents lying within. I cannot remember how long I've been here. For all my planning, I forgot to bring a watch. The radio plays the same song over and over again but does not announce the date. I have littered the bathroom tiles with food wrappers. I had food with me, but now I have run out. Maybe it has been very long, and I don't remember. The water has turned dark, and it is for the best. I cannot see my legs, or my stomach, or my chest, and I do not want to. They throb and slough and I move them reluctantly only to jolt them awake from their buzzing coma. But it's better than the itching; anything is better than the itching. Bloated flesh and festered wounds aside, I know little else of my physical state. Despite my mirror, I can see nothing of my reflection. The insects are attracted to the bleak ultraviolet light of the lamp and have swarmed it in hordes. All I see is the quivering mass of six-limbed bodies, apparently content to snap at, step over, and copulate with each other in no particular order of preference. I look at them sometimes, but mostly I don't. I like to keep my eyes shut. It keeps the insects off.
But now they are open, because I hear someone coming. I crane my neck and look out through the window. Distorted figures yell at my house, their heads obscured by thick swarms of flies. More come out of a van and break down my door. I had spent long days meticulously sealing every gap in my home with tape, and now it's been destroyed. It was useless anyway. The flies came in regardless; they crawled through the cracks, flowed through the taps, bled from the sockets in the walls. Does it really matter if more come in through the door?
They are looking for me downstairs, room by room, and I wonder why they've come. I expect it's an overdue bill for one thing or another. I don't remember where I've put my money, and I'm not sure I have any left after all. The people still call my name. I don't understand how they open their mouths so freely. They don't sound cross, not at all, but they have searched the first floor and are coming up the stairs. Something heavy drags across the carpet, and the noise scares me. I did not lock the bathroom door, and they can hear the music. I scratch my skin in panic, but I feel nothing more than a blunt tickle. I forgot: my nails fell out a week ago.

DETROIT: Geely's Horbury seeks a Chinese design
Styling a car that looks Chinese is the challenge facing British designer Peter Horbury. He was head of design at Volvo when the company was taken over by Geely and now divides his time between Sweden and China.
Now heading Geely design, his task is to establish a brand identity as well as to put together a new in-house team based in Shanghai with the goal of establishing the Chinese automaker's own design capability rather than relying on outsourcing to styling houses around the world.
Horbury said: "The disadvantage of outsourcing is that you have to teach new people all time about the brand heritage and ambitions. There are definite advantages in having an in-house team."
First, that brand heritage has to be established and Horbury's ambition is to make the cars 'look' Chinese.
"I'm not talking about having pagoda roofs or anything radical but there is a certain subtlety I am looking for. I want to introduce some Chinese inspiration into the design language. There is a huge history in the country in terms of art and architecture going back 5,000 years.
"I want to be able to give Geely a design Chinese people can be proud of."
What does that design involve?
"It's quite difficult to quantify," said Horbury. "For example there are certain curves in the architecture which are unmistakably Chinese. I say to my designers that if they draw a line with a brush stroke rather than a marker pen they will get a very different effect, almost like the ancient Chinese caligraphers. The result can be exquisite.
"Chinese people tend to prefer rounded rather than sharp designs that are in harmony. That is an effect I am looking for and it is a very exciting prospect. I want people to be able to look at a Geely and see it as a Chinese car, pretty much in the way you know a German car or a French one."

his exhibition shines a new light on two undisputed icons of post-modern design: Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, one of his most talented students. We are talking about La Luce (the Italian for "light"); a new exhibition which is about to be showed in Nemo's showroom in 19 Corso Monforte, Milan. La Luce will run from the 14th April until the 10th May.
Here, lighting design takes centre stage with an excess of both traditional and unconventional pieces. Visitors will immediately understand that these are all eternal objects, destined to outlive any fad and fashion. Definite highlights are Lampe de Marseilles, designed in 1950/52 by Le Corbusier and the more minimalist Potence Pivotante by Charlotte Perriand. Furthermore, this exhibition was developed in partnership with the Le Corbusier foundation and the Charlotte Perriand archives, who lent many historical documents, original drawings and prototypes.
La Luce is a moment to learn about two of the "biggest" names of contemporary design, seen from a different perspective closer to the public's eye. Finally, this journey would not be complete without the launch of two new series by Nemo, dedicated to these geniuses. You have to see this!!!


Fine properties could be one thing you could really long for even if you just dwell in a primary condominium or apartment. You can get the same kind of look just by shopping correctly. It is just a matter of discovering the appropriate items in your space and your total style.
You are going to really see quite a lot of elegant properties that take design risks. This could just be a really daring wall shade or even a gold leaf ceiling. These are designed to get noticed. After all stability is basically key in these kind of spaces and typically while you do inside design you're just going to settle. It is as plain as that. You may however counteract this by just going with finances pleasant choices you could change out lots. This will require that you simply paint your partitions every few years. It is going to mean you can get these trendy colours in your house.
Whenever you're attempting to imitate a really rich look this is usually a little bit intimidating when picking out purple drapes or a toilet vanity unit. An effective way to actually counteract this is just to go with more of a simplistic design style. Sometimes much less is more. This will mean that you don't go with quite a lot of accessories. In this case, you can just go with oversized urns as an alternative of a whole collection. You might usher in columns as part of your structure. These are the assertion items which can be really going to get noticed after which you don't need quite a lot of muddle distracting from your focal point.

Magna Carta Memorial
Nearby (5,038)
By kjfitz @ 2009-04-16 14:24:47
@ 51.444521, -0.566407
Staines-upon-Thames, United Kingdom (GB)
Situated in a grassed enclosure on the lower slopes of Cooper's Hill, this memorial is of a domed classical style, containing a pillar of English granite on which is inscribed "To commemorate Magna Carta, symbol of Freedom Under Law". The memorial was created by the American Bar Association to a design by Sir Edward Maufe R.A., and was unveiled on 18 July 1957 at a ceremony attended by American and English lawyers.
Since 1957 representatives of the ABA have visited and rededicated the Memorial renewing pledges to the Great Charter. In 1971 and 1985 commemorative stones were placed on the Memorial plinth. In July 2000 the ABA came:
"to celebrate Magna Carta, foundation of the rule of law for ages past and for the new millenium."

Capuchin Friars' new provincial minister takes up position in Sydney
byMark Bowling
24 November 2017 - Updated on 1 April 2021
New leader: Queenslander Fr Gerard O'Dempsey, elected provincial minister, will lead the Australian province of the Capuchin Friars for the next three years. Photo: Capuchin Friars Australia.
QUEENSLANDER Fr Gerard O'Dempsey says it is "breathtaking" to be elected leader of the Australian province of the Capuchin Friars for the next three years.
"It's a great responsibility and I hope I can live up to what the friars expect of me," Fr O'Dempsey said as he packed his single suitcase and many boxes of books for his move from the Good Shepherd Parish, Plumpton, in Sydney's west, to the Capuchin Mission office in inner-city Leichhardt.
His leadership position as provincial minister is immediate following a majority vote at this month's Capuchin provincial chapter meeting in Sydney.
St Mary's, South Brisbane, parish priest Fr Lam Vu was elected as second councillor on the order's provincial team, but will remain in the parish.
Fr O'Dempsey said he hoped to "animate the lives of the friars in Australia – to make them minister faithfully and effectively in the Church" and to "discover what God is asking of them in their particular fraternities and ministries".
Growing up in Ipswich, the eldest of 11 children, Fr O'Dempsey said he first encountered the pastoral work of the Capuchin Friars working in the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea.
He knew immediately this would be his vocation.
"It was their joyful approach to life, their simplicity and their enthusiasm for evangelisation, and that has stuck with me ever since," he said.
Fr O'Dempsey first went to PNG after seeing an advertisement in The Catholic Leader requesting lay missionaries to teach music.
He trained singers, played the organ and was director of music for the papal liturgies when Pope John Paul II visited Port Moresby in 1984.

Fr O'Dempsey joined the friars when he returned to Australia in 1986 and was ordained nine years later, serving at Plumpton until 1999, then becoming the first Queensland-born parish priest of Guardian Angels, Wynnum.
He then went on sabbatical in Boston and later served in the North American novitiate of the Capuchins as formator and part of the novitiate formation team.
In 2014, he was elected vicar provincial of the Australian province of the Capuchin Friars.
With the Church in Australia under many pressures, Fr O'Dempsey said his message to friars was to "trust in God's providence with hope for the future".
"We are at the position where we want to consolidate our work over the last few years, animating the friars in their ministries and locations, that's key for the next three years," he said.
"And certainly I am asking the friars to have an eye to the Plenary Council in 2020. It will be important that religious orders have a voice in that."
Under new provincial arrangements Fr John Spiteri, parish priest at Guardian Angels, Wynnum, will transfer to South Melbourne's St Peter and Paul's Parish, where the Capuchins operate a soup kitchen for the poor.
"It's a very big ministry to the homeless, " Fr O'Dempsey said.
Capuchin priest at Newton in Adelaide, Fr Severino Bustamante, will move to Wynnum.

The Prince of Tides (1991)
(On Cable TV, February 2019) There are plenty of reasons why I shouldn't like Barbra Streisand—her diva behaviour is legendary, leading to enough tabloid stories to make her legendary in her lifetime and cemented for the younger generation with "The Streisand Effect". Even from a strict filmgoer's perspective, she's often the strangest part of any movie in which she's the uncontested star—far too young in Hello, Dolly!, unconvincingly male in Yentl, showboating in The Way We Were, self-indulgent in A Star is Born, etc. But even knowing all of this, there is a magnetic star quality to her screen presence that compensates for a lot. Call it sex appeal, or sheer talent or most probably a mixture of both. In The Prince of Tides, she stars and directs and, perhaps miraculously, keeps her most outlandish tendencies to herself. She looks amazing in glasses and white nylons, directs with a nice narrative flow and lets Nick Nolte take the spotlight that his character deserves. Nolte is terrific as a damaged man with deep-seated trauma, far too quick to parry probing questions with jokes but intensely damaged nonetheless. Streisand has a comparatively easier role as his therapist. In the grand tradition of romantic drama, a major professional breach of ethics soon follows. The character-based drama is handled effectively, although the film is too long at nearly two hours and a quarter—and by "helping" the characters get over their trauma, it sands off nearly everything that was interesting about them out of the story. By the end of the film, Nolte's character is psychologically healthier but also completely uninteresting. Still, The Prince of Tides did exceed my expectations: It's quick to create narrative interest, and even a weaker third act can't quite erase the goodwill created by the early scenes in which patient and psychiatrist are engaged in a ferocious game of wits. I liked it well enough, and have another movie to use as an example when asked about my uncharacteristic liking of Streisand.

Q: How should I annotate, that a class is immutable in Java? I recently stumbled upon how useful immutable objects are and that e.g. if you pass elements to a constructor and your class should be immutable, you have to copy these elements if they are not immutable themselves.
This requires a lot of checking or knowledge about my project, because if I have
public A(B foo)

and B is not immutable, A I'd have to copy B. Now imagine B seems immutable, but itself has mutable classes in the constructor and so on.
Is there a standard or best-practice for documenting if a class is immutable in Java? It seems there is no @immutable keyword in Javadoc.
The @Immutable annotation seems to be something totally different for auto class generation and not part of standard Java.

A: Looking at the documentation of the String class (bold text is something I did):

The String class represents character strings. All string literals in
  Java programs, such as "abc", are implemented as instances of this
  class.
  Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created. String buffers support mutable strings. Because String
  objects are immutable they can be shared.

As you can see, there is no particular labeling or other markers, however, they do specify in the JavaDoc describing the class that the String class represents a constant, immutable object.
Thus, assuming that you followed the instructions provided in this Oracle tutorial to create an immutable class, to make sure that the immutability of the class is documented, you should just make sure you mention in it the in the JavaDoc describing the class and what it does.
If that still does not suit what you need, you could take a look at how you could build custom JavaDoc tags here.

A: You can use annotations:
@javax.annotation.concurrent.Immutable from JSR-305
or @net.jcip.annotations.Immutable from Java Concurrency In Practice

Q: Remove the '_id' from the return of MongoDB mongoengine with python Flask I am using the mongoengine for my python flask application and using the Custom ORM for the project.
I am facing an issue in the GET API where I am fetching the list of the asset data which is stored in my database and when I am retrieving the data it shows me data like:
code,
           {
               "message": "done",
               "result": {
                   "asset": [
                              {
                                  "_id": {
                                      "$oid": "5fa4fb9ea33244b15c6605bc"
                                  },
                                  "asset_download_link_android": "https://link",
                                  "asset_download_link_ios": "https://link",
                                  "asset_download_link_mac": "https://link",
                                  "asset_download_link_windows": "https://link,
                                  "asset_id": 1,
                                  "asset_name": "car_exhibition_1",
                                  "asset_size": "100MB",
                                  "asset_thumbnail_url": "https://link",
                                  "asset_version": "1.0.0",
                                  "created_at": {
                                      "$date": 1604647838316
                                  },
                                  "email": "xyz@gmail.com"
                              },
                          ]
                      },
                      "status": 200
                  }

Now,
            "_id": {
                "$oid": "5fa4fb9ea33244b15c6605bc"
            }

which has been created by my ORM and due to this "$" sign I can't proceed because my object can assign a variable with the special character in the beginning. So, please anyone can help me that how can I get the response without the $oid field in the response.
The code I am using to get the response is,
                  assets =  collection_name.objects.all()
                  return_val = jsonify({"message" : "done" , "status" : status_code, "result" :
                                       {"asset" : assets}})
                  return return_val, status_code

A: You can iterate over the inner assets list and remove any keys that contain keys with $ beneath them:
import json
import pprint

foo = json.loads("""
{
   "message": "done",
   "result": {
       "asset": [
                  {
                    "_id": {
                      "$oid": "5fa4fb9ea33244b15c6605bc"
                    },
                    "asset_download_link_android": "https://link",
                    "asset_download_link_ios": "https://link",
                    "asset_download_link_mac": "https://link",
                    "asset_download_link_windows": "https://link",
                    "asset_id": 1,
                    "asset_name": "car_exhibition_1",
                    "asset_size": "100MB",
                    "asset_thumbnail_url": "https://link",
                    "asset_version": "1.0.0",
                    "created_at": {
                      "$date": 1604647838316
                    },
                    "email": "xyz@gmail.com"
                  }
              ]
          },
          "status": 200
      }
""")

for asset in foo['result']['asset']:
    del asset['_id']
    del asset['created_at']

pprint.pprint(foo)

Results in:
{'message': 'done',
 'result': {'asset': [{'asset_download_link_android': 'https://link',

Victory Road 2004
Victory Road 2004 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which took place on November 7, 2004 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was the first event under the Victory Road chronology, which became an annual event in 2006. Nine professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card.
The main event was a Ladder match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, in which the champion, Jeff Jarrett, defeated the challenger, Jeff Hardy, by climbing a ladder and retrieving the championship. America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm) defeated Triple X (Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper) in another featured match contested under Elimination Last Team Standing rules. The event's undercard featured different varieties of matches. One match on the undercard was contested for the TNA X Division Championship, in which Petey Williams successfully defended it against A.J. Styles. Also a match that was held under no disqualification rules called a Monster's Ball match was won by Monty Brown by defeating Raven and Abyss.
The event is remembered as being TNA's first monthly three hour PPV event. Before Victory Road, TNA only hosted weekly two hour PPV events. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website rated the entire event a 5 out of 10, lower than the 2006 event's rating of 5.5.

The Henryetta Territorial Museum is housed in Henryetta's original one-room school, constructed by W.B. Hudson in 1905 on the northwest corner of 5th & Trudgeon with lumber hauled in from Indiana. The building was moved across the street by a team of horses in 1926, but was left as it was, hauled in with the back facing the street. In 1983, the dilapidated building was moved to its current location at 410 W Moore and restored to its original condition, with the addition of a small kitchen and indoor privy.
It now, once again, plays an important role in the community as a center of activities and a major tourist attraction for our town.
The museum is home to the Joseph W. Hardin Photography Collection. From the Spirit of St. Louis to coal miners 350 feet underground, the digitally preserved and magnificently displayed work of Joseph W. Hardin are among the greatest photographs ever taken. Hardin's ten-foot panoramic film negatives, extremely rare in photography, and created using cameras of his own invention, recorded Oklahoma's oilfields and boomtowns in their glory days. His glass negatives captured the weathered faces of dust-bowl farmers and their families on drought-stricken homesteads. The camera was his canvas, and his artistry our inheritance.
Unseen for decades, these exquisite photographs are now presented using both print and digital technologies, immersing the viewer in the sights and sounds of a uniquely Oklahoma experience.
Visit the home of the Hardin photo collection and experience the joys, tribulations and triumphs of early Oklahoma through the lens of an American legend, Joseph W. Hardin.
Take the Henryetta Main Street exit from US Hwy 75 to Fourth Street. Turn South on Fourth one block to Territorial Park. The Museum and Gazebo are located next to Henryetta City Hall.


Once again I installed Debian on a notebook. This time on a friends IBM Thinkpad X20. This is not exactly spectacular, but I ran into some small problems, which I want to write down as a reference for others.
Please feel free to edit and extent this howto.
Thinkwiki.org tells you something about the ingredients of this notebook.
The table below shows compatibility with kernel >= 2.6.15. Everything highlighted in green is fully supported. Orange means particularly supported and everything in red isn't supported at the moment.
Update these programs without Windoze by following the instructions from Thinkwiki.
Install Windoze and update these programs. I think IBM/Lenovo won't update the Bios and "Embedded Controller Program" any longer (last version is from 2003) - it's save to delete Windoze after the update.
There are several possibilities to install Debian though it hasn't a built-in CD-ROM drive. The easiest approach is to use an external USB-drive.
The installation of Debian Etch (Debian Installer Etch beta 2) worked smoothly.
Because of some problems with Speedstep (have a look at the FAQ) I compiled my own kernel. The .config-file is slightly different from Debian's standard.
Nothing spectacular. Here is the xorg.conf.
Further informations concerning speedstep can be found here: thinkwiki.
This governor doesn't work on older laptops without Enhanced Speedstep (and guess: the X20 is a "plain-speedstep" notebook).
It's a bug. Wait until it'll be fixed or switch back to kernel 2.6.15.
You need to update the "Embedded Controller Program" to version 1.36 and the Bios to 2.25. The bad news: IBM only provides update utilities for Windoze and DOS. A friend runs Windoze on his notebook. So I changed the harddisks and installed the update. Thinkwiki tells you how to proceed without Microsoft Software.

Mandatory Vaccine Laws Are Constitutional

HARLAN RICHARDS
I keep hearing Libertarians and Republicans proclaiming their "right" not to take a COVID-19 vaccine, asserting that the U.S. Constitution allows them to make that choice. It doesn't. I previously quoted the preamble to the Constitution to explain that the Constitution was created to benefit us collectively:
"We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Apparently, the United States Supreme Court felt the same way about the "right" to refuse to take a mandated vaccination. In 1905, it ruled in Jacobson v Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 25 S. Ct. 358 (1905), that a law imposing a fine for refusing to take the smallpox vaccine was constitutional. Guess what? Mandatory vaccines resulted in the eradication of the smallpox virus - the same way mandatory vaccinations against COVID-19 will eradicate COVID-19. It's the only way we can stop the virus from mutating into a more lethal strain. I briefly Shepardized the decision (i.e., researched later case law which cited the decision) and could not find any later decision which overturned the Jacobson decision. One of Jacobson's unavailing arguments was that the Preamble to the Constitution gave him the right to refuse to take the smallpox vaccine - the same Preamble I believe gives the government the right to require citizens to take the vaccine.
We need to vaccinate everyone in the world, not just Americans. COVID-19 does not recognize international borders. An out of control outbreak in Brazil will create variants that will migrate to the U.S. It's like playing whack-a-mole. Waiting until a variant arrives in America before we address it is shortsighted and doomed to fail.
We need mandatory vaccinations worldwide and the sooner, the better.
Man up, put aside your primadonna mindset and do something distasteful to you for the good of the country and your fellow citizens and the entire world. It worked in 1905 and it can work again in 2021. Be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
One caveat: I took the Pfizer vaccine and had very few side effects. However, I would not take any vaccine that could cause blood clots no matter how few the number of affected people. I would rather face COVID-19 because in my view my body's immune system is designed to fight viruses. I don't mind getting a helping hand from medical science, but I draw the line at risking an unnatural effect like blood clots. The Johnson & Johnson, and the Astra-Zeneca vaccines have both caused blood clots. It may have only been a handful of people out of millions, but it's too much risk for me. There's a world of difference between being required to take a vaccine which does you no harm whatsoever and one which can cause blood clots. I support the right to refuse to take a vaccine that can cause blood clots but there is no right to refuse a vaccine which does you no harm.
To be clear, neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccines have been found to harm anyone who has taken them. They interact differently with the immune system and are safe to take. So sign up, get your shots, and we'll all be able to go back to living our lives the way we want.
