The trend of “Covid-19 vaccine tourism” is flourishing in many places (Photo: FORBES) After more than a year of being “locked up” because of Covid-19, the world is witnessing the blooming of the “Covid-19 vaccine tour”. Is this type really the key to reviving tourism or is it bringing a lot of unpredictable potential? New trend Since December last year, Mr. Enno Lenze, a German businessman and museum director, has been looking for many sources to get an early Covid-19 vaccine but wants to go abroad. Finally, the opportunity came to him. A tour company in Norway called World Visitor provided a travel package to Moscow, Russia to get the Sputnik V vaccine. Brother Lenze and 50 other Germans took the opportunity and went to Russia to get the Sputnik V shot. the first one in early April. This month, he and the others will return to Russia for a second injection. Many people seek out the Sputnik V vaccine by traveling to Moscow (Image: AP) “I have visited many places. I’m interested in space travel and I want to see Soviet-era spaceships,” Lenze told National Geographic. World Visitor also offers a three-week “wellness” tour package where guests can relax at a spa in Turkey between Covid-19 shots. Albert Sigl, co-owner of World Visitor, said that he has sold Covid-19 vaccination tours to about 600 customers from Germany and Switzerland, two European countries that currently have flights to Russia. According to Mr. Sigl, the company will continue to open Covid-19 vaccine tours to other countries when they open. In Austria, tour operator Impfreisen.at is also offering unconditional reservations for a series of holiday packages with “guaranteed rights to a Covid-19 vaccine”. For those who can’t afford it, Impfreisen even offers free rides to 1 in 10 people who book the cheapest package, if they can prove it’s financially viable. Last week, The Wall Street Journal of the United States reported that it did not take until New York City announced a plan to provide Covid-19 vaccination services to foreign tourists, the tourism industry from Texas to Florida already Heats up as tens of thousands of tourists from Mexico and many other countries come to these states to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Some states in the US, including Texas, do not require vaccination applicants to present proof of residency status. According to the AP news agency, wealthy tourists, including politicians, TV stars, leaders of companies and famous players in Latin America, have come to the US to get vaccinated against Covid-19. People stand in line to check in at Silvio Pettirosso Airport (Paraguay) to Miami. Many Latin Americans who come to the US for vaccinations have friends or relatives who live in the US and can help them get vaccinated against Covid-19. (Photo: AP) Most Covid-19 vaccination tours are from Mexico to Texas. Mexican airlines have opened more routes to South Texas and increased frequency of flights. Flights to Houston, Dallas and San Antonio have also been booked weeks in advance and fares are also increasing significantly. In addition, the charter flight service to the US for vaccination is also flourishing in Mexico. Cindy Mijares, a 31-year-old jewelry designer from Monterrey, Mexico, said that like many of her friends, she booked a Covid-19 vaccination at a pharmacy in Texas. The Wall Street Journal, citing preliminary data from Mexico City International Airport, showed that in April, about 207,000 passengers departed for the United States, compared with 177,000 in March and 95,000 in February. in April were Houston and Dallas, with 41,000 and 26,000 passengers, followed by Los Angeles, Miami and San Antonio.

Recently, many Thai tour companies have offered Covid-19 vaccination tours to the US and Russia. A Bangkok-based tour operator, Unithai Trip, offers packages ranging from 75,000 baht to 200,000 baht ($2,400 to $6,400) for tours to San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, at extra prices. depending on the time interval between injections of each Covid-19 vaccine. Unithai Trip CEO Rachphol Yamsaeng told Reuters: “Johnson & Johnson only needs one shot, but 90% of travelers require Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine,” so it takes about 20 days between the first dose. first and second dose. Meanwhile, another tour operator, My Journey Travel, is offering a 10-day trip to San Francisco for Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine. This company information, in just three days of opening the tour, they received hundreds of calls to ask about this tour. The US is not the only destination to get a Covid-19 vaccine for Thais. Udachi, a travel agency, has offered a 23-day tour called “Vaccine Vacation in Russia” to get the Sputnik V vaccine for up to 210,000 baht ($6,700). Travel leverage? After more than a year of “freezing” because of Covid-19, some countries with tourism as the mainstay of the economy are looking to increase tourist numbers by offering travel packages with Covid-19 vaccinations. “Paradise” Maldives has pursued a “3-V” strategy to encourage tourists to “visit, vaccinate and relax” (Vist, Vaccine and Vacation). Maldivian tourism minister Abdulla Mausoom told CNBC this would provide visitors with “more convenience” when on vacation. Mr. Mausoom said that while only about 13% of Maldivians are fully vaccinated, about 90% of frontline tourism workers are vaccinated. This figure points to the importance of the tourism sector in the economic recovery prospects of the Indian Ocean “resort paradise”. According to I. Glenn Cohen, a professor at Harvard Law School and director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics, traveling for medical treatment is not a trend. new save. The thriving medical tourism market has been around for many years. In the case of the Covid-19 vaccine, as long as the risk groups are protected first, vaccine-abundant countries can use them to restart tourism, but provided this is done carefully. kidney. “What matters is where the net benefits go,” he said. This benefit should benefit the poorest people in the community, not just the rich.” Although two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine may make countries retain tourists longer because it takes time for the body to produce an immune response, the following travel activities should not be rushed. vaccination.

Maldives is currently encouraging foreign tourists to return with a “3-V” strategy that combines visits, vaccinations and resorts. (Photo: GETTY IMAGE) Professor Cohen said he was a bit concerned and advised tourists who had just been vaccinated against going to markets or shopping malls right away. On May 6, New York began promoting itself as a tourist destination for those seeking a Covid-19 vaccine. Previously, from April, the Florida state government announced that it was canceling the requirement to be a resident of the state to receive the vaccine after the first wave of vaccination tourism. In Alaska, in an effort to boost local tourism, Governor Mike Dunleavy said visitors can get a free Covid-19 vaccine at the state’s main airports starting June 1. Mexican travel companies, already reeling from the pandemic, quickly recognized the opportunity. Eduardo Paniagua, head of the Mexican tourism industry association, said that in March and April, travel agencies sold tours to the US to 170,000 people, most of whom traveled for injections. Covid-19 vaccine. The US-Mexico border remains closed to non-essential land travel, but travelers can still travel by air. More than just coming to get vaccinated, travel to the US has a direct impact on local economies. Vaccinated tourists spend money on airline tickets, hotel stays and spend more time shopping and eating. These special tours are helping revive the economies of places like Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, which have been hit hard by a year of border closures. Saul Sanchez, co-owner of Carats in McAllen, Texas, helps a customer try on jewelry. The business of the stores declined when the border closed and was buoyed by the return of Mexican tourists (Image: WSJ) Before the pandemic, Mexican tourists to McAllen, Texas typically contributed about $1 billion of the country’s $3.5 billion average annual retail sales, said Steve Ahlenius, president of the local chamber of commerce. city. Although locals have the lowest income in the US, the area is a top destination for wealthy Mexican tourists. Is it legal? At a glance, it can be seen that Covid-19 vaccination tourism is an attractive form to restore the tourism industry. But many people are also questioning the legitimacy of this type of tourism, the risks to tourists when participating in vaccination tourism and even its ethics. At this time, no formal arrangements have been made to ensure that foreign tourists are vaccinated against Covid-19 in the country they travel to. So tourists getting vaccinated could be frustrated and risk losing money. Reuters quoted Thailand’s Tourism Ministry on May 5 warning, travelers need to carefully check vaccination travel packages because the entry regulations in each state in the US are different. Euronews reported last month that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the government would consider a vaccination tourism program, but that Russian citizens were an “absolute priority”. Meanwhile, information on social media about vaccination tours for tourists from Turkey to Serbia has been denied by the Turkish Ambassador to Belgrade and the Serbian Embassy in Ankara. They confirmed that only Turks with a residence permit in Serbia are allowed to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Some countries have clearly announced that they do not welcome tourists to receive Covid-19 vaccines. In the UK, for example, the Covid-19 vaccine can only be administered through the public health system and must wait until a doctor’s appointment is received. At the appointment, the vaccinated person needs to confirm personal information, such as home address. It is possible that many other countries have adopted similar measures. In some respects, Covid-19 vaccine tourism can contribute towards the common goal of ending the Covid-19 pandemic soon. So far, the WHO has urged Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers to keep their commitments to equitable distribution of vaccines. But with some richer countries starting to monopolize the stockpiling of excess vaccines to make a profit, Covid-19 vaccine tourism will only prolong the wait for access to Covid-19 vaccines in many parts of the world. , especially in poor countries, and exacerbated the imbalance of supply and demand for Covid-19 vaccines. These consequences will likely slow down efforts to end the Covid-19 pandemic, which WHO insists can only be achieved by global cooperation in vaccine sharing.

Orders for the F-16 fighter version Block 70/72 will be completed at the factory in Greenville. Nearly 400 jobs will be created to support this production line, almost double the workforce employed at Lockheed Martin’s plant in Greenville. This will be the only surviving F-16 production line in the world. It was set up three years after Lockheed Martin discontinued the line in Fort Worth, Texas. Recently, representing five partner countries, the US Air Force signed a contract with Lockheed Martin worth $14 billion to build 128 F-16s by 2026. The first F-16s of this line will ship in 2022 and production will increase steadily in the following years. These aircraft will be delivered to Bahrain, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Taiwan territories. The F-16 Block 70/72 will be integrated with active electronically scanned array radar (AESA), advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) with longer strike capability, and a suitable expanded fuel tank. with the fuselage. Even after 2026, the US is expected to receive more orders for the F-16 due to its reasonable price and versatility.

People are vaccinated against COVID-19 by Johnson & Johnson Company in Chicago, Illinois, USA on April 6, 2021. Photo: AFP/VNA New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced the city will offer COVID-19 vaccination services to foreign visitors at mobile vaccination centers, starting this summer. But before that time, tourists, mostly Mexicans, have flocked to the US for the opportunity to get vaccinated. Up to now, tens of thousands of tourists from Mexico and some other countries have “landed” in many states such as Texas and Florida to be vaccinated. Some states in the US, including Texas, do not require visitors to present proof of residency. USA Today previously reported that thousands of wealthy tourists, including politicians, TV stars, leaders of companies and corporations in Latin America, have traveled to the US to receive vaccines. Some rent a private jet to go to the US. Mexico has so far only vaccinated enough doses for about 6% of the population and the vaccination program is only applicable to people over 60 years old. Many tour operators in Mexico have promoted travel packages including vaccinations to the US. “Enjoy Dallas and get a COVID-19 vaccine,” a travel agency ran an ad. Mexican airlines also recently increased flights to south Texas to serve the growing demand of travelers. A Thai travel company is also offering a package “COVID-19 vaccine tour” to the US. More than 200 people are already booked, at a cost of $2,400 per person for a 10-day trip to California that includes a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine.

Two smugglers are sitting in the car with two migrants – who want to illegally cross into the US in the back seat. The target group will use that steel pole as a temporary ladder to lift two people who want to cross the wall and enter the United States. Each week, tens of thousands of people migrate to the United States, mostly unaccompanied minors. The increase in the number of migrants once again overwhelms the unprepared immigration system of the United States, which has faced over the years but has not yet addressed its dilemma – shortages. Equipment facilities, overcrowded refugee zones … That’s the consequence of a flourishing illegal trafficking activity again in this area. The border wall at the US-Mexico border separates El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Júarez, Mexico. Bringing smuggled migrants – a lucrative “business” industry The two smugglers mentioned above are brothers. They are the guys who specialize in bringing people into America with the help of his brother’s 14-year-old son. There is very little data available to accurately quantify the number of migrants who use the services of smugglers to take the journey they think will change their lives. But most experts agree that many have used a smuggler for at least part of their journey, in ways that can vary from taking a taxi between towns to a full package. migrate. According to a 2018 report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that more than 800,000 migrants from around the world illegally crossed into Mexico and since then, smuggled or attempted to find your way into the US each year, based on a review of data from 2014 and 2015. Only a small fraction of migrants avoid being arrested before reaching their final destination in the United States, despite the hefty fees paid to make the trip. According to the report, costs can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars depending on a number of factors, largely based on the total distance of the journey and how many borders need to be crossed. This amount can leave migrants penniless, many of them migrating in the first place due to extreme poverty in their country of origin. The UN report estimates that business attempting to bring people into Mexico and the United States illegally is worth about $ 4 billion a year, according to data from 2014 and 2015. A woman and three young children race toward a wall on the US-Mexico border in Ciudad Júarez, Mexico. Locations of cartel bosses According to investigative documents, a large portion of the money spent on smuggling will fall into the hands of organized crime, especially in Mexico. Victor Manjarrez, former Head of Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, said: “Human smuggling is a multimillion-dollar industry and I would venture to guess it was moving toward an industry. billion USD. Manjarrez says organized crime groups have used the money to create sophisticated smuggling networks that, in some cases, operate across the country. “It’s almost like a Fortune 500 company tackling their supply chain,” he said. It is a ruthless business, people migrate as commodities, not people, and they are certainly exploited. ” One of the brothers interviewed by CNN, the Ciudad Júarez smuggler said he was recruited for the job after moving to his home on the border. “Some people asked me if I wanted to join, and I said yes. That’s why I’m here.” In this case, the “guys” he alluded to were members of the Júarez gang – one of Mexico’s oldest and most powerful organized crime groups – whose smugglers said they worked on duty. continued. The two brothers told CNN, each migrant must pay $ 2,000 to cross the border here. The smugglers then receive a salary, or commission for their work. It’s a system that operates across the US-Mexico border. Traffickers who operate in these areas almost always operate in one of two ways – working directly for the gang in charge of that individual or working independently but paying the gang a tax to get it. the right to transit the above smuggling line. “Most smugglers engage in complex activities either get to know each other due to kinship or friendship, or have entered into ad hoc partnerships with larger, well-resourced groups. more “, according to a 2018 United Nations report. US President Joe Biden has stopped building the US – Mexico border wall. Go north Tens of thousands of migrants have fled their homeland in Central America for a multitude of reasons, poverty and corruption continue to rage in countries like Honduras, and food insecurity is on the rise. like Guatemala, and gang violence continues to pervade El Salvador. Two major Category 4 hurricanes also hit the region late last year, destroying social infrastructure, and the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to devastate troubled regional economies. Stories of rape and abuse often occur in migrant areas along the border. Psychologist Claudia Grisel Villalobos Esparza, who works at Nohemí Álvarez Quillay, a shelter for unaccompanied minors in Ciudad Júarez, said. The families of the smugglers, led by the two brothers, told CNN they have heard of so many cases of abuse. They even brought up smugglers who, a few weeks earlier, had released two children across a border wall not far from their home – a case that caused a stir in America. While it is not possible to verify how they treat migrants, even if they treat migrants well, it is not for the sake of migrants. According to experts such as the psychologist at Ciudad Júarez, each time they are compensated for their work, these employees help maintain a system of kidnappings, rape, extortion, and even Murderous lice are rampant. While extensive data quantifying the specific threats migrants face smugglers is not available, the Human Rights First report released last month reported at least 492 attacks. public and abduction of asylum seekers. A 2017 report by Medicins San Frontieres found that nearly a third of the women migrating from Mexico interviewed had experienced some form of sexual abuse on their journey north, nearly 70% of all. interviewed had experienced violence in some form. The last stage of the journey CNN chose to document the smuggler’s progress to shed light on what’s happening along the daily border as the immigration debate is taking place within the United States. Returning to the blue sedan incident, after plunging from a side street, it stopped a few hundred meters on the road in front of us. The two men stepped out and went to get the makeshift ladder, which is the iron bar tied to the side mirror. The smugglers were looking for a good spot to try and cross, then they told us, a site where the US Border Patrol would be too far away to catch them. About 10 minutes drive, the sedan stops along a stretch of highway. One of the smugglers got out of the car with two migrants, one of whom grabbed a makeshift ladder, the border wall about 500 meters away. A quick dash off the road and the trio entered the sandy desert that was the hallmark of this arid landscape. The group of people forward, dragging the metal ladder, behind the exhausted gasp of migrants is the sound of the smuggler’s occasional instruction: “Get lower!” He screamed at one point when a Border Patrol truck drove across the border. Halfway through the wall, the group took a break, and we only had about 30 seconds to talk to the migrants. They are Ecuadorian, one man and woman, 18 and 20 years old, with nothing but clothes on their backs and two bottles of water. They have paid smugglers thousands of dollars to get there, and they hope to find work in South Texas. But the only way they could do it was to get past the wall. After gazing intently at a small bush, looking for any signs of law enforcement, the smuggler signaled it was time to push the final wall. Crouching in a low run, they made the final distance in about a minute. The 18-year-old then lifts the ladder and the smuggler helps him hook one end to the end of the fence, the ladder curves over the wall like a candy. The young man threw both bottles of water over the fence and immediately took the ladder, shaking hands quickly until it reached the top of the 15-20 feet high wall. He quickly lowered himself to the other side, dropped into what looked like an unused construction site, and then it was the young woman’s turn. Just a little slower, she did the same thing. They both passed through the desert on the other side and the traffickers were back on the highway. To the two migrants, there seems to be little plan on what to do next, confused and overwhelmed, both running towards an uncertain future. There is only a bit of desert on that side of the wall. Yes, they have made it to America, but far from the end of their journey, they obviously have a lot left to answer: Where are they going? What will they do? How will they make money? What if they are caught by immigration? These are questions that we cannot answer. For smugglers, those are immaterial queries – very simple in fact. They don’t know what happened to them on the other side and don’t really want to know. Their job is to get them over the wall and that’s it.

(Photo: AFP / VNA) A unit of the company Samsung C&T is considering investing $ 673 million in the construction of solar power plants in Texas (USA), to start commercial production in December 2023. The solar facilities above will be located in Milam County, Texas, less than two hours ‘drive from Samsung Electronics’ chip factory in Austin. Austin is where Samsung is considering building a new $ 17 billion chip factory. With a capacity of about 700 MW, solar power plants will begin construction in June 2022. A Samsung C&T official said the company is doing the approval procedures with the authorities. The attractiveness of solar and wind power is increasing rapidly as nations around the world switch from fossil fuels to cleaner renewable sources to prevent global warming. The administration of US President Joe Biden aims to generate electricity from non-carbon sources such as nuclear and renewable energy by 2035. Recently, South Korean President Moon Jae-in also pledged to end all new funding for overseas coal projects and will soon come up with a more ambitious plan to cut carbon emissions. . In October, Samsung C&T Corp announced its decision to suspend any new projects or investments related to coal. While chip makers like Samsung Electronics, Intel and TSMC are also committed to increasing the use of renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions.

Butterfly effect is a term used to describe the chaos theory concept of the sensitivity of the system to the original conditions. Originally used as a purely scientific concept, the butterfly effect has been widely mentioned as a metaphor in contemporary culture, especially works dealing with human relations. fruit or time paradox. Photo: Tagetra Many people believe that everything happens for a reason and nothing by chance. That there are trivial little things, or seemingly insignificant sequence of events, that also affect our future, can make great changes in history and create new destiny. Source In 1961, while simulating a weather prediction on a computer, mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz accidentally entered .506 instead of 0.556127 as intended. This results in weather prediction obtained completely different from the original calculation. He was surprised when the computer gave a prediction that was very different from the original data even though the rounding value was negligible. From this mistake, Lorenz insisted on the tight binding of the physical system to the initial conditions in her speech. Mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz. (Photo: Denviant) According to him, a butterfly flap can cause a change in the original condition of the physical system, causing dramatic changes in weather, even creating a tornado in a remote location. where the butterfly flaps its wings tens of thousands of kilometers. The butterfly effect was published in 1969 by Edward Norton Lorenz with the famous quote “Just one butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas.” Butterfly effect in reality Several events are considered by many to be examples of the Butterfly Effect. 1. Drivers on the wrong path leading to World War I On June 28, 1914, the Black hand terrorist group’s plan to assassinate the Crown Prince of Austria – Archduke Franz Ferdinand was unsuccessful. A grenade thrown into the Crown Prince’s car during the visit missed, fell and exploded, injuring two of his entourage. The Crown Prince should have gone back to the hotel, but he insisted on visiting the emergency entourage in the hospital. However, his driver, unfamiliar with the route, turned the wrong way and immediately met Gavrilo Princip, one of the people involved in the previous murder, was sitting at the café beside the road. Immediately, Princip pulled out a gun and shot Prince Franz Ferdinand straight. The assassination triggered World War I. Photo: Internet It is said that, in general, the driver was misbehaving the wrong way, leading to the assassination of the Crown Prince of Austria. As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on the Serbian, leading to a declaration of war on Russia by Germany, drawing Belgium, France and Britain to declare war on Germany. 2. The young man was denied the artist’s dream, becoming a military dictator This is probably the most widely known butterfly effect on this list. In 1905, a young man applied to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, unfortunately for him and for us too, he was rejected twice. That ambitious art student was Adolf Hitler. After he was rejected, he was forced to live in the city’s slums and his anti-Semitism began to flourish. He joined the German army instead of fulfilling his dream of being an artist, which has resulted in historical sites as you know it. 3. The kind soldier spared his enemy’s life, leading to World War II On September 28, 1818, during a fighting between British and German forces in the village of Marcoing (France), Private Henry Tandey saw a German soldier fleeing. Henry Tandey was about to aim when he realized the soldier was injured, he lowered his gun and let the soldier escape. Adolf Hitler. (Photo: Internet) This decision caused the world a tragedy that no one could imagine. The man who escaped death was Adolf Hitler. When World War II broke out, this incident became a psychological burden on Private Henry Tandey. When asked about his act of pardoning Hitler, Henry Tandey expressed regret: “ I don’t know what kind of person that soldier would become. As I watched innocent civilians being killed for Hitler’s atrocities, I asked God to forgive me for letting him live. “. From the decision to spare one’s life on the battlefields of World War I, it resulted in 60 million people dying in World War II. 4.
