Covid 19, Marijuana e Vaccines Are Revolutionizing Medicine

 Prevention has become the most important thing in medical practice, since the job of vaccines is to prevent infection, ac
tivating defense mechanisms so that they can better use and build defenses that the body has or is capable of creating. 

But preventive medicine is possible only if it has as its origin and fundamental pillar the dominant political power in a country. This political power can lead to participation or rejection of vaccines. In more developed countries, the population is accustomed to compulsory participation in everything, from elections to disease prevention. In our countries, Ecuador dome, elections are less developed and almost everything is compulsory. The sense of collaboration also differs from country to country. In developed countries, collaboration comes as a state policy, in our countries, it is a relationship between neighbors who decide to help each other, share responsibilities, and be in solidarity. In the same way, awareness of risk is much higher in poor countries, where the population is at the mercy of everything, from the weather, to the decision of their presidents that overnight can give or take away rights. This vulnerability awakens their consciousness, while in developed countries, those with power and few economic problems, think that the world is at their feet, that they are demigods, and that evils are a curse that does not affect them. But despite this, the richest countries have had the option of being vaccinated up to three times, while the poor cannot vaccinate a sufficient number of inhabitants to create herd immunity, which has made them the new sources of infection, as evidenced by The latest variant of Covid 19 originated in the slums of South Africa, called omicron. and other diseases with chicungunya.

The production of vaccines is also one of the pillars of the health revolution that we are experiencing. This capacity to produce vaccines depends on the capacities of countries to do research, on the advances they have in the knowledge and use of genetics, on the creative and innovative capacities that are still in the hands of developed countries, China and Russia, with Cuba being the only one that has stood up for the poorest countries. But in addition, the guarantee of efficiency and efficacy of vaccines is experiencing a revolution since the 10 years it took to make a vaccine is now made in one and the vaccine for new variants in days. Confidence tests became indispensable after the polio vaccine produced in culture media made from monkey brain and kidneys sparked the HIV epidemic.

The use and legalization of cannabis or marijuana in many countries of the world is also a global revolution as it gives medicinal plants a category and recognition that pharmaceutical chemical medicine tried to overshadow. Today cannabis marks the return of medicinal plants to the world drug market, from where you were displaced by the manufacture of medicines from active principles of plants and their modifications, which after decades of use, are blamed for carcinogenic diseases, as well as pesticides. Marijuana has opened the market for medicines and drugs of organic origin, which was despised by industrial pharmaceutical medicine.

At this time the market for organic drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and opium, which can be produced anywhere and not in factories, is the competition of drugs from factories, and this has originated the so-called WAR ON DRUG TRAFFICKING. , which in reality is a war not on addictive drugs, but on drugs that can be produced in poor countries, and on organic materials, especially medicinal plants, that can grow in those countries better than in developed countries.

At this time humanity is addicted to everything, from drugs to sex, pornography, sedentary lifestyle, food, or the cell phone. These addictions have different consequences for each person. But drug addiction, more than a health problem, is a money problem, since there is a lot of money at stake, and it has also generated the so-called war on drugs, which allows countries like the United States to control armies, police, the justice or the media of the countries that he considers can leave the so-called Backyard, or area of ​​influence.

But the mere fact of saying that drugs are bad has an effect contrary to what the War on Drug Trafficking is pursuing, since it arouses interest, curiosity, use and finally creates addiction, just as alcohol did one day when in The United States created the dry law, or in the USSR, the punishment for prostitution created by the Russian mafia whose main business is the trafficking of women and prostitution.
