HOW LONG BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD IS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19? ( https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-vaccine-covid-19-who-gavi-putin-trump-boris-johnson-health-economy-1524958 ) We still have a long road until the vaccine for covid-19 is complete and ready for the public. Countries need to work together in order to get there with over 750,000 people dead and the poor state of the global economy.GAVI, the vaccine alliance, who has been primarily focused on finding a vaccine for AIDs, has opened a facility where they will try to make the vaccine accessible for all countries, especially poorer ones. Their goal is to deliver at least two billion doses by the end of 2021. They hope to pool together the resources of wealthier countries to help the vaccine reach poorer countries so that it is available for everyone.

The Galtung Triangle - BLM Protests Over the summer, much of white America was shocked at the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that were taking place in America’s major cities, and even America’s smaller cities. A lot of articles and blog posts were written about why the protests were happening in order to give Americans more ignorant of their history and understanding of the anger among the Black community.

Emily Wilburn 2 October 2020 Voting in Texas 2020 has been a pretty crazy year already, and to make it extra interesting it’s also an election year.

Just a formula for RIGGING an Election...” Anyways… this has all led to some pretty crazy stuff. Right now in Texas, there is a limitation on the number of ballot drop-off locations. It is limited to one drop off locati...
