Time passes rapidly, and soon, another COVID year has passed. It has been an intense year. The Corona virus has forced me go cycling. Rather often I pass by a stable with horses, and I remember I was introduced  by Cecilia Wijnbladh to these beautiful English Shire horses when I had moved to Stockholm. I remember Oden, and I had a photo of his cute paws on the photo below. Such a calm and peaceful horse, and it seems like Oden is retired today; see: https://www.hippson.se/artikelarkivet/hippsonnews/oden-tackas-av-for-sin-tid.htm.

At that time, I had been working for a few years in Norway, and it had been exceptional with the Swine flu. Today, 10 years later, we are fighting COVID-19. The pharmaceutical industry has developed vaccines against COVID-19, and currently the third vaccination is ongoing. We need to boost immunity.

The pandemic is posing a lot of questions, and it is indeed interesting. Also from a philosophical point of view. I was very surprised to learn that there actually are young medical doctors who are against vaccinations. I have been thinking about this and I cannot understand. What needs to be proved? Immunology is of course very intricate. Blood cells, interferons etc do exist. It is true, we do need a microscope to make them visible.

I have mentioned it before. This is a political virus, because everybody has an opinion. Moreover, it is an invisible enemy as President Macron said in the very beginning of the pandemic. This song is by Moby, and it is dedicated to all elderly people who have suffered so far in this pandemic.

Keep staying safe – and stay tuned!
