*Tai-Ho: Finally A Tidbit, A Morsel of Positive News Vis-a-Vis the Dreaded Covid (And, Wonder of Wonders, We Have Good 'Ole ASTRAZENICA to Thank ): Evidence 'Evidently' That It's Been Underrated, Even Unfairly 'Dissed' in the Global Battle to Beat the Coronavirus...

For, according to BBC World Radio's OS programme this morning, and Gillian (Julian?) Walsh on RNZ National this morning with Suzie Ferguson following the 6 a.m. news bulletin, the vaccine actually ain't 'alf hot, man...

 So far, so good...for verily the foolish of spirit do indeed rush in where 'the better angels of our nature' would tremble to even tread... Postscript (January 2023) Regrettably I was gravely mistaken.  (Biden might arguably be a better man/human being than Trump - that's hardly saying an awful lot!  - but his handling of foreign affairs is comparatively woeful.) Like Ronald Reagan, criticize Donald J Trump all you like - and I/Yours Truly certainly do/es - but if you examine the record, neither man started WW111, did they...

If 'the Donald' Does Indeed Secure Another Victory Today - as Initial Reports Thus Far Indicate Could Well Be Possible - Then, Hey, Provided He Doesn't Initiate (or Become Embroiled in) WW111, We Might Well Decide with the Deep Wisdom of Hindsight It Was Worth It All...

A pretty high bar to set for an American president, as my brother told me awhile ago... but perhaps not too high, in that nobody but nobody relishes the prospect of the literal end of life as we know it upon Planet Earth...
