On this day in 1932 World famous black cowboy Bill Pickett "Dusky Demon" died. He invented the rodeo sport, bulldogging (steer wrestling).
One in four of America’s cowboys were Black. Many of the slaves were familiar with cattle herding from their homelands of West Africa.

Bill Gates continuing to do evil under the guise of philanthropy.
"When Oxford University began work on its covid vaccine, it promised that the resulting work would be patent-free, with an active tech-transfer assistance program so that developing nations could manufacture their own supplies....
....That promise was broken. The Gates Foundation pushed the racist lie that poor people can't make safe vaccines - despite world-leading production facilities in the Global South - and convinced the university to sell exclusive rights to Astrazeneca...."

The Book of the Month for March is La Nausée by Jean-Paul Sartre and the Track of the Month is the Third Movement of the String Quartet No. 16 in F major by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Also, all the videos on the PHIDOC website have now been digitally enhanced using online cutting-edge AI. Subjectively, the improvement seems to be in the order of 35-55% depending on the source material.

@freemo Having just received my second Pfizer vaccination yesterday morning, after my first one three weeks ago, I share many of your concerns (Interestingly, by way of an aside, why is the roll-out on this remote Greek island more efficient tha Germany or the UK?)

Ironically, Symi only had one case of confirmed Covid until ten days ago (a Belgian tourist last September), but now a local family is in quarantine and all contacts are being traced. How did this happen? Because a policeman illegally visited another island. And the vector of transmission? Basket ball!
