why do you headcanon tails as venezuelan?

no clue if this is a genuine question or not but <3 ty for giving me the chance anon

im venezuelan so it can be a easy "why not" is not like our existence in media much less representation is a thing so i can believe anything i want

but !!!! if u want more specific stuff let's go then

1) Mobius is basically latin america. they're all latinos your honor

not just that sonic in general is basically The Franchise in latam ever but also that a lot of other characters are coded as latinos (ex. Sonic as brazilian or argentinian depending on who you ask, knuckles jamaican/peruvian, silver chilean etc are popular hcs) for mannerisms and story and funzies.

Oh and let's not forget The World Map where Mobians live basically in latin america no i will not let it alone

mobian uza is literally just latin america i cannot. point at it enough

2) color pallete!!!!!! is real easy since his whole colors are yellow blue white and red in similar tones to the flag so. another win for the venecos (imma put this old image i made some time ago)

3) his tendency to use even the most "useless" objects and make crazy inventions with it (yes i will acknowledge the paperclips in this one because it's been in different shows and games)can be interpreted in many ways, but is a very huge value for us to just have to go on and fight for better or for worse, we don't let ourselves give up so easy and our working culture has shown that really what's stopping us is the state of our country

there's a really common stereotype for venezuela that we're criminals or lazy or don't work, and that's far from it. idk i feel like tails' story connects with that sentiment of fighting for more no matter what you have ANYWAYS

4) SCIENCE AND HISTORY BABEY!!! Venezuela has been really important historically not just for promote independence in South American nations, but also our scientists and petroleum industry have been contributed a lot to the world.

examples like the diamond scalpel, citgo being an originally venezuelan company, the vaccine against leprosy, the corner clamp and i could go On. but tails being a science enjoyer AND being venezuelan is also a cute detail :)))

that's really it. put projection alongside cute clues ive found and details from venezuelan history (as i am a huge nerd of it) and you get little venezuelan tails!! thanks for the ask anon lol

Vaccines: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Medicine

In the grand pantheon of medical triumphs, vaccines stand as the unparalleled epitome of human ingenuity and triumph over nature’s capricious whims. Vaccines are the linchpins of public health, their efficacy and safety underscored by an avalanche of incontrovertible data, yet their importance is often obfuscated by a cacophony of misinformation.

Vaccines have achieved a monumental feat: the near-eradication of diseases that once ravaged populations with impunity. Polio, that malevolent specter of paralysis, has been reduced to a ghostly whisper thanks to widespread immunization. The triumph over smallpox, once a scourge of biblical proportions, is a testament to the unassailable power of vaccination. The statistics are unequivocal: vaccines prevent an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths annually worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. This is not hyperbole; this is empirical reality.

Contrary to the alarmist rhetoric perpetuated by the misinformed, adverse reactions to vaccines are astonishingly rare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that serious allergic reactions occur in approximately one per million doses. To juxtapose this with the morbidity and mortality rates of vaccine-preventable diseases is to lay bare the absurdity of the anti-vaccine diatribe. The infinitesimal risk of adverse reactions pales in comparison to the devastating consequences of unchecked infectious diseases.

In the realm of jurisprudence, the mandate of vaccination is not merely a matter of public health; it is a legal imperative grounded in the doctrine of parens patriae. The state has an incontrovertible obligation to protect the welfare of its citizens, particularly those who are most vulnerable. Compulsory vaccination laws have withstood judicial scrutiny, their constitutionality upheld in landmark cases such as Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905). This jurisprudential precedent underscores the principle that individual liberties do not encompass the right to jeopardize public health.

In conclusion, vaccines are not merely a medical marvel; they are the bulwark against the resurgence of pernicious pathogens. The statistical evidence is irrefutable, the legal framework robust, and the ethical imperative clear. To eschew vaccination is not an exercise in personal autonomy but an abdication of social responsibility, a perilous flirtation with epidemiological disaster. Let us, therefore, extol the virtues of vaccines with the fervor they so richly deserve, recognizing them as the silent sentinels safeguarding our collective well-being.

Wait you’re from Argentina, I’m so sorry about your election :( I read somewhere that this was just a primary, but ppl are acting like the fascist won the whole thing! Who is this fucker and are you all going to be okay?

Hi Anon, yeah I'm from Argentina 🙃

The thing with these elections are that, while they are a primary election, they also give you an idea of what to kinda expect for the general elections. These results are disheartening to say the least.

Here are some snippets from Milei's (the man that came out first in the primaries) wikipedia article in English, so you can have an idea of his ideals and politics and why he's like, the worst from right-wing politics in Argentina

"Politically and economically, Milei is a right-wing libertarian,[4][5][6] and he is supportive of the Austrian School of economics. Milei considers himself to be a short-term minarchist or liberal-libertarian [es; fr] but philosophically an anarcho-capitalist.[7][8] He believes that Argentina is a tax hell and advocates for a fast reduction in government spending in order to balance the budget."

"Several of Milei's political positions have caused controversy,[13] such as his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape,[14] the rejection of sexual education in schools,[15] scepticism about COVID-19 vaccines,[13] support for the freely possession of firearms by the civilian population,[16][17] promotion of the far-right Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory,[18] and climate change denial.[19] Due to those controversies, as well as his far-right political positions and radical conservative economic and social policies,[13][20] his primaries win has been considered an upset, and he has been characterized as a far-right populist.[10][11][12]"

"He has been described as far right by several Argentine and Spanish-language publications, including elDiario.es,[43] El País,[44] El Mundo,[45] Perfil,[46] Télam,[47] and Tiempo Argentino.[48] Milei is a follower of the ex-Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and the ex-United States president Donald Trump.[49] He is also close to the Spanish far-right party Vox,[50] as well as the former conservative Chilean presidential candidate José Antonio Kast.[51]"

"Theoretically an anarcho-capitalist, Milei considers himself a minarchist or liberal-libertaire.[62] An economic liberal and fiscal conservative, he often referred to Carlos Menem, the president of Argentina from 1989 to 1999, and his economy minister Domingo Cavallo.[63]"

Full article here

But that's not the end of the problem.

The thing is that following him are Juntos por el cambio (another right-wing coalition, don't let the centre-right part trick you) and Unión por la Patria, the coalition born from the one that managed to get Alberto Fernández to be our current president.

As far as my understanding goes, with the current percentage of votes, neither candidate can win on the first round, which will lead to a ballotage, that is, the two candidates with the most votes will go for a second round. That's where the speculations born from these primary elections come into play. If, by some miracle, Sergio Massa (Unión por la Patria's candidate), the "lesser evil", wins, while generally speaking some things (like some rights hard won) will remain, it doesn't mean the ginormous debt that we've been dragging since Mauricio Macri's presidency will suddenly disappear or that the politics involved in trying to fix that will magically work just because Massa won.

If he doesn't win first round, which is the more likely thing, there are high probabilities that Milei's coalition and Juntos por el Cambio will call their voters to vote for the one that goes to the ballotage and against Unión por la Patria. So the right gets the government.

As you see, the political field is at best a mess, at worst, a big fucking mess. And I'm not even entering in our current economic crisis, and how the price of the dollar gets higher every day and how that affects the society. Or how the politics are less about actual solutions and proposals and more about emotionality and punishing the coalition you dislike the most.

I'm perhaps not the best at expressing myself when talking about these topics, at least not in English. I'm sure there are other Argentinean blogs that will explain this better than me but I will say. That even if Milei wins and doesn't burn the country to the ground with his outlandish economical plans, he still is against a lot of basic human rights that were hard won in this country. And even if he doesn't win but Juntos por el Cambio does, their politics are, perhaps not equally bad, but close to his. And Massa is not a saint of my devotion either, he's the main candidate because the peronist coalition is in as much crisis as the country is.

We got our democracy back just 40 years ago, after the worst and most bloody dictatorship in this country. And now the people are voting for the man that is pushing for the same kind of politics the dictators, Carlos Menem in the 90s and Mauricio Macri in 2015 were vouching for.

I'm not sure what the future has prepared for us (nothing too good as you can see) but at the very least I can say that Argentina is resilient, I can only hope for the best and if that doesn't happen, we'll have to do our best to survive.

Mexico develops own COVID-19 vaccine, 2 years late

MEXICO CITY: Mexican officials celebrated Wednesday the announcement that the country finally developed its own Covid-19 vaccine, more than two years after inoculations from the US, Europe, and China were rolled out. It was unclear what use would be made of the vaccine, named “Patria” or “Motherland,” developed in a joint effort between the government and a Mexican company, Avimex, which…

Siano maledetti.

Siano maledetti gli antivaccinisti (o no-vax, come da provincialotti quali sono amano definirsi), sia maledetto l’ex dottore, radiato come merita, Andrew Wakefield e la sua maledetta, falsissima e fraudolenta ricerca, sconfessata dalla stessa rivista che l’aveva incautamente pubblicata, siano entrambi, antivaccinisti ignoranti e Wakefield, maledetti per tutti i morti e i malati che hanno e avranno sulla coscienza.

Siano maledetti anche per la vita isolata che fanno condurre a questo bambino ed a tutti quelli che, nel loro sconfinato egoismo, costringono ad una vita appartata.

E siano maledetti per la crassa ignoranza in cui si crogiolano, come maiali nella merda, contenti di vedersi confermate le loro strampalate ed assassine teorie solo ed esclusivamente dal passaparola.

P.s.: la legge dovrebbe prevedere che a costoro venga tolta la patria potestà, nel nome del bene dei minori, purtroppo loro figli. Spiegazioni e discussioni con questi talebani integralisti sono del tutto inutili e sono solo un’enorme perdita di tempo e di energie.

Cuban experts have warned that 72% of those recently infected with coronavirus in Havana have already received three doses of Cuban anticovid drugs.

They also argued that, in addition, 42% of these patients were infected after the end of the immunization cycle, that is, 15 days after injecting the last dose.

Meanwhile, they drew attention to the high incidence of the Delta variant, "with a high contagion capacity, so the application of sanitary protocols should be extreme, and take advantage of the experiences acquired in the exchange with the authorities of Matanzas, some of which are already applied in the capital ”.

They also highlighted that in the capital the epidemiological battle is more difficult “because it is unfeasible to apply a group of provisions that were implemented in other provinces and gave results, hence the need to maximize compliance with what is already established, with the incorporation of other regulations that are feasible ”.

On the other hand, Dr. Ileana Morales Suárez, director of Science and Technological Innovation of the MINSAP, reported that at the moment 16 variants of the coronavirus circulate in the capital, predominating the Delta strain, originally from India (60% of the total) and the Beta from South Africa.

"The prevalence of the Indian strain, with a viral load 1,200 times higher than the original variants, changes the virological panorama of Havana, which should lead to an increase in patients admitted to hospital wards," he added.

SULLA LETTERA DI CACCIARI E AGAMBEN

La lettera aperta congiunta di Massimo Cacciari e Giorgio Agamben sul Green Pass (vedi testo nei commenti) ha ricevuto, come prevedibile, un’accoglienza esplosiva. Uno dopo l’altro si sono attivate sulla stampa una serie di firme, più o meno note, per spiegare:

che “le discriminazioni sono ben altre” (Di Cesare, Repubblica),

che “la vita non viene forse prima della democrazia, non viene forse prima di tutto?” (D’Alessandro, Huffingtonpost),

che “il green pass è come la patente o il porto d’armi, che nessuno contesta” (Flores D’Arcais, MicroMega),

che “Cacciari e Agamben non hanno le competenze, lascino fare a chi le ha” (Gramellini, Corriere), ecc. ecc.

Ora, personalmente non credo di essere stato una volta in vita mia d’accordo con Agamben, e dunque ero restio finanche a leggere la lettera, però a fronte di tale qualificata batteria di fucilieri non ho potuto esimermi.

Ciò che ho trovato, e che nel mio piccolo voglio brevemente commentare, è un testo con molti difetti, ma certamente non liquidabile con gli argomenti che ho visto in giro.

Il testo, comparso sul sito dell'Istituto italiano per gli studi filosofici, presenta un’argomentazione molto breve, con un difetto strutturale: essa parte come un argomento “di principio” e “di valore simbolico” circa la minaccia alla vita democratica, prosegue con considerazioni di ordine pragmatico sullo stato della sicurezza dei vaccini e sulla mancanza di una prospettiva (“Dovremo dunque stare col pass fino a quando?), e chiude di nuovo su note di principio.

Per finalità di impatto giornalistico questa forma argomentativa è forse ottimale, proprio perché tocca vari tasti dolenti in poche righe, però in termini filosofici è abbastanza insoddisfacente, per la poca chiarezza dei nessi tra le parti.

Se ci si vuole concentrare sui dettagli si possono trovare diversi punti emendabili, ma credo che in generale sia meglio operare la critica, se critica dev’essere, dopo aver tentato una lettura ‘caritatevole’, che si sforzi di capire la sostanza.

(In ogni caso, trovo insopportabile quel tipo di critica che si limita alle battute benpensanti condite di sufficienza, alle alzate di sopracciglia complici, come se si fosse di fronte a giudizi già pacifici “tra noi alfieri del bene”.)

Quanto all’incipit “di principio” della lettera, diffido sempre di quella tipologia di argomenti, di cui Agamben è un esimio rappresentante, che volano alti, iperborei, su questioni di principio, pensando di poter applicare principi generalissimi alla realtà concreta senza incardinarli nella realtà. Questo tipo di argomenti ha un’elevata tendenza a creare una “isteria simbolica” (i cui esiti troviamo ben rappresentati nelle odierne istanze del ‘politicamente corretto’).

Non credo che nessun argomento in generale che ipostatizzi “la libertà”, “la democrazia”, “i diritti umani”, ecc. sia credibile se non si preoccupa dei dettagli dell’applicazione in contesto. Non esiste da nessuna parte, per dire, la “libertà” in sé e per sé, disincarnata, da preservare da ogni offesa.

Nella lettera questo passaggio applicativo, questa discesa nel concreto non è particolarmente chiara. Essa si intravede solo nel passaggio in cui i due osservano il rischio che “il vaccino si trasformi in una sorta di simbolo politico-religioso.”

Qui credo si sia nei pressi di un punto cruciale, la cui spiegazione nella lettera mi pare oscura, e che provo perciò a spiegare a mia volta come segue.

Il Green Pass non rappresenta un problema per la sua natura intrinseca di limitazione sanitaria ad alcuni gruppi.

Di principio questo tipo di soluzioni possono essere accettabili, se la situazione lo richiede, nella misura in cui lo richiede.

Il problema è qui rappresentato invece da un dissidio tra una situazione reale che non mostra particolari criticità, nonostante la comparsa della variante delta, e una pressione propagandistica e moralistica terrificante da parte dell’intero establishment, che si lancia in una predica battente sulla doverosità di vaccinarsi-e-far-vaccinare chiunque e comunque.

Questa “moralistic suasion”, proprio perché alimentata dal 100% dei media e dal 90% della classe politica di governo, ha un impatto spaventoso sull’opinione pubblica.

Dopo aver costruito una categoria di soggetti non vaccinati (o magari vaccinati, ma dubbiosi) come No Vax subumani, dopo averli dipinti come traditori della patria nello sforzo bellico contro il virus, dopo aver etichettato i dubbiosi come portatori di morte, i frutti nell’opinione pubblica non tardano ad essere raccolti.

Questi toni di moralismo apocalittico sono alla base di una scarica di odio virulento che si percepisce sui social media ogni giorno, dove trovi l’infermiera che minaccia di farla pagare ai pazienti non vaccinati, il virologo che parla dei non vaccinati come sorci da cacciare, gli auguri del medico agli stessi di avere un lutto in famiglia, e poi l'infinita serie scomposta di figuri che augurano malattia e morte.

Ecco, se vediamo la questione del Green Pass non nel suo generale ‘significato simbolico’, ma nella concretezza del modo in cui lo si sta applicando qui ed ora, c’è davvero da preoccuparsi.

Quando il potere costituito scatena le sue forze in campagne moralistiche ed aggressive contro una parte della popolazione che sta agendo nel rispetto della legge, e che sta esercitando la propria legittima libertà (e magari anche con buone ragioni), qui siamo arrivati ad una soglia davvero pericolosa.

Il fatto stesso che il Green Pass sia stato concepito dall’inizio come un modo di ottenere in modo obliquo una sorta di obbligo vaccinale, senza assumersene la responsabilità, ha spinto a premere sul tasto morale, e così facendo ha creato una classe di cittadini che pur legalmente tollerati sono giudicati come ‘impuri’, e su cui è legittimo, anzi consigliato, esercitare il proprio disprezzo. Qui, proprio qui, gli esempi storici delle peggiori autocrazie del ventesimo secolo dovrebbero averci insegnato qualcosa.

La strada che sarebbe stata da prendere, ma che il governo si è dimostrato incapace di prendere, è quella di una valutazione calibrata dei mezzi e dei fini, senza ergersi a giudice morale.

In una valutazione mirata della proporzionalità dei mezzi ai fini ogni immagine bellica di “distruzione del virus”, ed ogni suggestione irenica di “salvare ogni vita” dovevano essere lasciate da parte. Non saremo mai – allo stato delle conoscenze - nelle condizioni di eradicare il virus a colpi di vaccinazione, e non saremo mai nelle condizioni di salvare ogni vita, di ogni individuo.

Porsi obiettivi impossibili è pericoloso perché legittima la richiesta di uno sforzo infinito (e questa è sì un’istanza autoritaria), e crea le condizioni per una frustrazione infinita (con conseguente rabbia crescente).

Esigere il Green Pass da teenager per andare in palestra, o dallo spettatore di un concerto all’aperto, o dall’elettorato passivo per candidarsi, ecc. sono tecnicamente degli abusi, perché iniziative prive di motivazioni sanitarie credibili.

Sono prive di motivazioni sanitarie credibili perché ci sono già tutte le condizioni perché quegli atti non inneschino alcuna crisi sanitaria.

D’altro canto il carattere di abuso arbitrario è ribadito dal fatto che simultaneamente un anziano frequentatore di una chiesa o del parlamento ne sono esentati.

Tutto ciò serve solo a creare una situazione che invece di giocare con le carte democratiche dell’argomento, del pluralismo, della buona informazione, sceglie la scorciatoia autoritaria della propaganda, della distorsione, della demonizzazione.

Post Scriptum.

Siccome non sono mancati tra i critici della lettera alcuni che hanno sollevato obiezioni a un punto che anch'io sostengo da tempo, e che ha un rilievo nella valutazione costi-benefici, ovvero il fatto che gli attuali vaccini anti-Covid hanno ancora un carattere sperimentale, credo sia opportuno riportare per intero in coda un passaggio di un contratto di fornitura Pfizer (l'unico contratto che finora abbia rotto il muro della pubblica secretazione).

<<5.5 Purchaser Acknowledgement.

Purchaser acknowledges that the Vaccine and materials related to the Vaccine, and their components and constituent materials are being rapidly developed due to the emergency circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be studied after provision of the Vaccine to Purchaser under this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known.>>

(<<L'acquirente riconosce che il vaccino e i materiali relativi al vaccino e i loro componenti e materiali costitutivi vengono sviluppati rapidamente a causa delle circostanze di emergenza della pandemia di COVID-19 e continueranno a essere studiati dopo la fornitura del vaccino all'acquirente ai sensi del presente accordo. L'acquirente riconosce inoltre che gli effetti a lungo termine e l'efficacia del vaccino non sono attualmente noti e che potrebbero esserci effetti negativi del vaccino che non sono attualmente noti.>>)

Spero che ciò metta un punto fermo alla discussione."

QC court received a petition to stop the vaccination for minor aged 5 to 11 years old— February 4, 2022

by: Christell Ann G. Buenavente

Image via Philippines new agency

VACCINATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST COVID-19 FOR MINORS: Since the start of the COVID-19 vaccination program, numerous parents are refused to vaccinate their children aged 5 to 11 years old. Vaccinations against Covid-19, on the other hand, began on June 21, 2021 for every age of 18, as well ages of 12 to 17 was vaccinated for free.

Read: 12 to 17: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-starts-covid-19-vaccinations-12-17-year-olds-2021-10-15/

December 27 last year, The Department of Health (DOH) speak up about the process and preparations fo the vaccine of minor particularly to 5 to 11 years old. And they target at least 13.5 million children aged 5 to 11 are expected to get vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the government.

Related news: https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1163850

Now, the Department of Health's approved the objective for children aged 5 to 11 to begin receiving vaccines for their protection against COVID-19, but two parents filed an appeal and petition in the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to stop the campaign. The Public Attorneys' Office (PAO) represents the petitioners, who are parents whose children are between the ages of 5 and 11.

One of the reasons why parents not agree to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 is because of failed vaccinations for children like Dengvaxie and other vaccines for minors that have failed and resulted in death instances.

Related news: https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/dangvaxia-philippines/

DOH, on the other hand, is convinced about continuing the vaccine campaign for this age range as planned. Joint state of DOH and National task force against COVID-19: "As far as the national government is concerned, we remain steadfast in our commitment to protect all sectors and society, which children and vulnerable group. As such, we will proceed with the vaccination rollout for the said aged group as planned"

In fact the schedule of vaccination for the aged of 5 to 11 was planned held on February 4, but because of problem in transport, It's moved on February 7.

The Deputy Chief implementer, NTF AGAINST COVID-19, Vince Dizon said "The DO received an email from the logistics provider, DHL, that there a slight problem in the transport of vaccines for 5 to 11 years old. I think there was a problem with the plane. The arrival has been postponed to friday night. Because of this, we have also postponed the launch to monday February 7"

The children will be injected a reformulated Pfizer vaccination that has been given an emergency use authorization by the government.

Parents ask the court to maintain "their right to agree and, necessarily, right to deny consent to COVID-19 immunization on behalf of their children; and, ultimately, protect the latter's life and health, as well as the lives and health of other children similarly threatened."

According to DOH, The petition of parents is concerned about the decisions that could affect their child at a young age. Department of Health (DOH) memorandum which states that: “in case the parent/guardian refuses to give consent to the vaccination despite the desire and willingness of the minor child to have himself/herself vaccinated, or there are no persons that may legally exercise parental authority over the child, the State may act as parens patriae and give the necessary consent.”

Even though Republic Act 11525 stipulates that the COVID-19 vaccinations are experimental, the petition claims that the government is "indirectly pushing" children to get vaccinated through the DOH memorandum. “We recognize their right to file a case, and we will wait for the legal process to take its course,” said the DOH in a statement.

However, National government concerned, priorities and commitment for the campaign against COVID-19 is to protect the people of every countries, especially children, group of individuals and group of organization. They secure that all sectors of society receive vaccination as a planned.

Besides that, Dr. Joanna Herrera a psychologist, give an advisable message to parents and guardians to talk their children and explain and briefing them about vaccines.

As the number of COVID-19 cases climbs precipitously and deaths surpass 270,000 in the United States alone, promising news of vaccines is surfacing, finally giving millions of Americans hope for a better future and a return to normalcy. ABC News will air a primetime documentary that takes an inside look at how officials expect to deliver a safe and effective vaccine for the deadly coronavirus in record time, the quest to save lives and the nearly yearlong journey that started just days after discovery of the virus in Wuhan. The one-hour special edition of “20/20” explores the questions many people are asking, arguing over and worrying about, including on safety, access and timing. “The Shot: Race for the Vaccine” airs Monday, December 14 (10:00 – 11:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.
