Quick notes: "Edible" insects | TB vaccine...

• More pandemics: The EU will soon permit the sale of locusts, crickets, grasshoppers, and mealworms as food across the continent.



• TB Vaccine: Countries with universal BCG vaccine programmes have much lower mortality rates from Covid-19. "We have known for decades that BCG has non-specific beneficial effects, in that it protects against diseases other than the one for which it was created". . . 'Use BCG vaccine immediately'.



• Beggar-thy-neighbor: Aussie hospitals grapple with shortages after Chinese-owned companies there emptied vital medical supplies and exported them to China.



• Leftist media parroting CCP propaganda:

That NYT?

+Ran articles about irrationality of worrying about the pandemic
+Opposed the travel ban
+Now blaming the administration for not having stiffer travel ban https://t.co/4NNOpkeO1V pic.twitter.com/czrGEeI6Lu

• CCP Propaganda: China floods Facebook with ads blaming Trump for c-virus. State news outlets have bought numerous ads extolling China's response to the pandemic and attacking the mistakes of the US



• In the Vedic church none is religiously great or small: Yajurveda 26-2 clearly enjoins all learned persons to preach the Vedic truths to all, the  Brahmanas, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, the Shudras, the Chandalas, the degraded and the forlorn. Dwijas, the twice-born alone are not entitled  to study the Vedas. The shudras and even women are equally entitled to read the Vedas. Persons like Kavish Aylush a Shudra by birth, vide Aitareya Brahmana 11-19 and women like Lopa Mudra were the seers of the meanings of Vedic texts and their names are from times immemorial attached to the Vedic verses. In the  eyes of God all men, high or low, are equally entitled to God's gifts and  bounties, say air, water, sunshine and His Knowledge. 

  All men and women may study the Vedās. It is what God desires. See Yajurveda 26, 2. pic.twitter.com/OMYYLF9Udg

• Wikipedia or Trashpedia? Since Vedic wisdom and Yoga are much the fashion across the world these days, racists and Eurocentrists must show that these were brought from Europe by migrants who then occupied India..  We need an online encyclopedia where the edits are by real people. India needs to have a strategic vision on internet technologies. An Indian version of the Wikipedia which is edited responsibly should be part of that vision.
