It’s not surprising that Filipinos are now called to accept what COVID-19 vaccines they get are better than nothing. Filipinos had it coming for a long time now. A whole national tradition of making do with junk because these were better than nothing marks most of its history since being granted “independence” by the United…

It’s been roughly 12 months since the world shut down. March 2020 is the month that divides the “pre-COVID” and “post-COVID” worlds.
