Black aarket of fake COVID-19 shots in Mexico.
Mexico has long battled with a black market of stolen, adulterated, and expired medicines.
The size of this illicit market is hard to measure, but estimates valued it in $550 million in 2012. Now, the coveted COVID-19 vaccines have joined the list of profitable drugs entering the market illegally through scams that endanger the lives of its victims.

Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades. Interest has grown in these vaccines because they can be developed in a laboratory using readily available materials. This means the process can be standardized and scaled up, making vaccine development faster than traditional methods of making vaccines.

If you are experiencing violence during COVID-19:
~ Reach out to supportive family, friends or neighbors
~ Call a hotline or access information online if possible
~ Seek out local services for survivors
Three important ways to slow the spread:
1) Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19.
2) Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you.
3) Avoid crowds. The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.

2020 was the year we asked "why?"
While “coronavirus” was the top trending search worldwide, we also asked questions like “why is it called covid-19?” and “why is mental health important?” more than ever before. We searched for ways to help each other, like looking at how to support essential workers on the front lines of COVID-19 or how to aid people affected by the wildfires in Australia or devastation in Beirut.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s Morena party beat back attempts Thursday to save 109 semi-independent government trust funds that finance everything from science to movie productions to disaster relief.
In a party-line vote, the lower house of Mexico’s congress voted to eliminate the trusts and have the government directly administer the money. During two days of angry debate, the opposition was able to win only minor changes.
