Yes, but the basic research should be funded by government grants to universities; such as Notts and the results published to the metal bashers in the Midlands to develop into small micro electric cars as a showroom product.

Thanks Sean,   
Not sure TB vaccinations are given to the children in Africa or whether like here only the 6 in 1 is given to babies.
The FDA authorized the emergency substance use of Paxlovid but Pfizer did advise that the original vaccination absolutely  necessary and the pill was only suitable as a backup.   But surely this backup is all most of us will need this year?

I seem to remember that we used to have a sandpaper powder scratch on our arms in the very distant past against one of the common childs diseases .  What are the Moderna  and Pfizer Paxlovid  anti Covid  pills made of?  As the latest Covid variant is so weak surely a pill will do and save us all further inflation.

Do you somehow think that pharmaceutical technology is magic or is it just profiting at our expense??  Insisting on producing vaccines rather than pills is wasting material resources as well as everyone's time; especially our over worked NHS staff.

If we carry on with the proposed vaccine programme the 44 million adults will all need a 4th shot and it will cost £1,760 million which is all inflationary money paid by the government. If you decide pills can do the job the savings will be enormous.

People going off sick with covid will slow down now that testing is no longer mandatory and anyway.  But the NHS is still offering  vaccines to over 75's which is really wasteful when all that is required is a Moderna pill. 
Vaccinations always come as a needle, glass capsule kit wrapped in triple plastic with sheets of instruction papers with health and safety get out clauses all creating more and more waste and pushing up the price enormously to around £40 per shot.  A cheap 40p pill could have done the same job slightly slower though; so why O why are we polluting the planet with more waste plastic and paper some of which is bound to land up in the oceans.

Fear caused a panic which allowed ignorant politicians to listen to pseudo experts to err on the side of caution and advise everyone to stay at home with a mask on with scant regard to the mental stress this would cause. 
Lockdowns resulted in massive economic disruption and our children to miss out on education and social mixing attributes plus the isolation of our old folks in care homes
On the plus side it has reduced the time to develop vaccines to months rather than years; so the next pandemic will just require a rapid R&D response from the pharmaceutical industry. 
Fear shows weakness and courage in times of adversity shows strength. Everyone is going to die sometime and prayerfully in a relaxed and dignified manner.

We cannot continue to live in a state of fear.  Forget about Covid and just treat it as a flu virus. Obviously, if you feal unwell and have a temperature then stay at home and self isolate.

Hamdani,
Nobody needs to die.  Chairman Mow introduced draconian measures to limit population in China which worked but was totally unfair and unnecessary.
Western nations can encourage population reduction by educating people to improve their standard of living by having small families.  They can also subsidise contraception or even arrange for free vasectomy's all of which is good.
But should they be providing free food aid to developing nations that are not tackling the over population problem head on

We have vaccines that work and limits the damage that Covid can inflict on human cells.  We were slow in issuing the vaccine but must now vaccinate the whole world. 
No point in putting your head in the sand like the Kiwis and Aussies are doing!!  Isolation can not work in the long term..

Hamdani,
Energy has the equivalent effect of force times distance.  So  your "  kg⋅s−3 " is the equivalent inertia spin energy of the magnon which is at the heart of every photon.
 I think it is more accurate to consider the electro-magnetic energy of a photon as    Energy=  ∑ n h f Cos ϴ per second.

To reduce the risk of overpopulation needs a system of education that makes our teenage children understand the consequences to the planet of overproduction and how it causes poverty.  They must be taught that 2 is enough if the family is to enjoy a high standard of living.
Government could try large tax reductions for women who have less than 3 children but really its about understanding that climate change is caused by overpopulation and not just CO2 emissions.

Just found this article about quantum virtual photons which identifies the magnoflux spin effect.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/07/210721172648.htm?fbclid=IwAR14hMshF2tL73nMYWTq5syKLISrc7k_vgE6IGw1ecCm2ytxWoSRIKQm260

511 keV is the energy of an electron not a photon.   E=mc^2       Electron mass= 9x10^-31 x 3x10^8 x3x10^8= 8.1x10-13 joules which is 511.68 keV.
Photons are massless spinning volumes of magnetic inertia and each unit contains the power = hf Cos ϴ.of energy per second.

My concern is Aussies and Kiwis they must get vaccinated in time for the rugby.  Forget quarantine; that just a stop gap measure.

The video was excellent and shows micro-wave photons penetrating steel wire and heating it. 
But the wire is on a glass plate insulating it from the metal casing so no DC current is flowing.   The wire is surely being over excited by the magnetic fields power =hf/second

Everyone in the whole world, including relatives, must get the covid virus until we all become herd immune.
 Just like the common cold most of us will hardly be effected particularly if we have been vaccinated.

Hamdani,   Power is energy/second so therefore photon power is P= hf/second. 
 But we know it can be quantized so the formula needs to be Cosine ϴ  for real power and Sin ϴ for virtual power.
 The maths is then correct but not the physics, as if the photons are attracted forward by a voltage in the z direction then both the current in x direction and flux in y direction must be spinning at right angles to create a volume pulse of energy per second

Looking at the wiring diagram we can see that the metal base is bonded to the DC power supply positive anode and the negative filament is 5,000 volts negative with an isolated/insulated AC filament heater inside a vacuum enclosure with a window into the waveguide. The physical design of the ovens microwave volumetric cavity which contains the magnetic massless spinning magnoflux is able to vibrate water molecules at 2.5 Giga Hertz heating it up.
The heating power is held within the spinning magnetic high frequency photons and has nothing to do with electron particles.

If we become vegetarians that would help but without some sort of fuel we are likely to freeze to death.
