Bénoué National Park (Cameroon, Africa): Google JamBoard ! Cool ... Africa and India Google Educators - focus on MIT OCW > edX ... re free-to-students' university degrees * * * Coronavirus skepticism ... and further reasons

"Confirming my further skepticism (since there don't seem to be any consistent Massachusetts regulations or guidelines), here's a Tweet from MIT Medical suggesting that in order for MIT students to return to physical campus this autumn, they need to get a shot ... 

ICYMI: Visit http://now.mit.edu for updated information on travel reentry requirements for MIT community members who have traveled outside of Massachusetts and live or work on campus. 

Will ask my Kaiser Permanente primary care physician on M 4/5 what his read on MA regulations from CA ARE for coronavirus vaccine, - and maybe I can even get it at the KP clinic / hospital site called P.S., after my physical in person physically  (even though the KP Representative on the phone in making appt. said they don't offer the shot there - go figure further ... Is this protective of members' Kaiser Permanente medical practice re possibly unnecessary vaccines (re in case of emergency et al hypothesEs ?) Wouldn't want side effects of an unnecessary vaccine to lower my sperm count, make me infertile or similar re innumerable possible side effects - with no time whatsoever in the past year to run effective clinical trials in the jump start rush to generate a common cold vaccine in the genetic engineering revolution :)

Where's the EVIDENCE re long term side effects at the mRNA molecular level (not seeking any hypothetical 'thalidomide kids' re caveat emptor/buyer beware? (And where's your protective skepticism, Ma? And why can't we reason about this in conversation, Ma?:):) Will touch base about this with my MD in 10 days :)

Thank you!

Just now received this email from my mother - 

Appreciating Ed too  ....  an 'evangelist' for said vaccine 

If getting the vaccine, or saying I got a negative SARSCov2 test, could act as a 'passport' (at least in my mother's mind, for ex. - ...  re heading to MA in July or late June, I'd consider it, but am in general a bit in the anti-vaccine camp, - and re scientific skeptical orientation. 

... visit Cuttyhunk together this July, I wonder, in some of these regards? :) (And is this a good idea even? . . . and ... by any chance seeing a therapist MD, I wonder?)

Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions, science? - in a climate or context of an internet information campaign designed to do many things but not necessarily respond to a current more-dangerous-than-the-common-cold virus? 

Fondly, Scott

Ma,

This further contributes to my Coronavirus skepticism, for ex. -

School in the corona pandemic

Tests still in test mode

With two quick tests per week, the schools should be able to stay open. But there has been a lack of procurement for weeks - what's going on?  RALF PAULI

Countries are still figuring out what they're testing for ... the information internet campaign is also riddled with contradictions genetically, and contradictory language ...
