The little virus creates great upheavals. The whole planet suffers from it. It is embedded even in scientific studies to better trigger very contradictory reactions.
The controversy then swells between international luminaries, to the point where radiations are pronounced against certain professionals and others are sued by their peers. With us, the scientific committee responsible for monitoring the pandemic has recently experienced some turmoil that has not yet been explained. Is it a deep dispute over the strategy to be followed as the vaccination campaign approaches, ordered by the President of the Republic, or simply a question of ego put forward by some its influential members.
It goes without saying that the virus has not only reached the scientific body. The political world in turn uses it and maneuvers in Covid code. Alliances are formed in the circumstance to weigh in front of the weight of some powers decided to take control of the vaccines still at the stage of development. This frantic race for the antidote has transcended the traditional ideological and strategic blocks. The forced eclipse of geopolitical principles and interests has been almost perfect in the face of the national health imperative.
The free western world, as it is commonly called, has thus revealed cracks in its usual component. The mask war, which took place on airport tarmacs at the start of the pandemic, is renewed this time within the very confines of laboratories in the production phase of promising vaccines. The opportunity is also taken on the fly by some to remind others of a certain glory of the past.
The name chosen for the first publicly announced vaccine does not fail to recall the challenge of the conquest of space fiercely carried out by the two rival world powers. The new stake represented by the race to discover the life-saving vaccine rekindles mistrust and the quest for supremacy. The influence on international relations will only be strengthened. The products of the laboratories will be, as long as the threat of the virus persists, a winning card in the international political arena; one more diplomatic joker in the hands of the supporters of the big pharmaceutical companies.
The blackout observed by the Western media on the subject of vaccines developed by the Eastern bloc (China-Russia) informs, to be mistaken, about the heralding bias in this new war fueled by Covid. In this great global health turmoil, it turns out that the less well-off countries are absent from all the data and forecasts for exiting the crisis. Their situation is as worrying as the other populations affected by the pandemic, unless their fate is already sealed, because automatically subject to technological blackmail.
