Every doctor takes The Hippocratic Oath to not harm and ensuring that the medicine used is lifesaving. Whatever happens to our health professionals staying true to this oath that begin in Ancient Greece. It was what you could hold your doctor to and if any harm happened then they would have to explain themselves and the steps that they took to ensure the health and safety of their patient. We must end the money disruption in the health system because it overlooks and undermined the value health can bring to society, We must create a society that can trust its health professionals and listen to their evident-based answer. In this epidemic, it grows ever so imperative that we make healthcare a right and other necessities that cause poverty a right. We have the knowledge and the proven facts that these necessities lead to meager ends and we must acknowledge that. Again, we see in this epidemic that those bound by poverty suffering the most along with minorities. This is unacceptable and the government can balance out the effects and minimize them by researching and providing adequate support. We are met with one universal point of direction choosing either longevity or death. We can no longer ignore the consequences of not only diverse leadership but also ignoramus wants. Our needs must come before our wants, what we need to do right now is more important than a want for greater freedom.

People listen to the wants of their government, citizens try to better the future for the next generation. It is patriotic to think of others before yourself. This is what soldiers do every day they are on the battlefield. With this epidemic, we are all on the battlefield fighting for our lives. For herd immunity to work, 80% needs to be vaccinated and the vaccine has to prove to be effective in eradicating the disease. We have to be very sure when a vaccine is found and make sure that it is interchangeable because we all know viruses change and so must vaccines. Some people can't be vaccinated due to age, medical condition, or philosophy. This is why we need others, the rest of the community to come in and be the buffer. Age refers to young citizens such as babies who are too vulnerable to the disease and older citizens who made be more susceptible to the illness as a result of their age. Medical conditions make someone more able to contract the disease and so we need healthy individuals who have good medical history to step in and be bold for the rest of us. Philosophy is important, the belief behind doing this acting as a vaccine donor. Fear is the absolute opposite of all humanity and it exists to destroy the very threads that interwove us as a human family. Our nation can acknowledge these excuses and excluded others. The oath means we should learn from societies doing better like New Zealand, science improves when we defy discrimination like what we did with the flu and measles. We must rejoin WHO with funding and intel to prevent another crisis. It was the world effort that fought biological interferences, scientists from all walks of life. For knowledge belongs to the world and no one nation can hold all the answers. Mother Nature has always been a mystery even with all our advancements.

I was asked by the Small Business Administration and the United States Patent and Trademark Office how to ensure innovation. After thinking long and hard from this epidemic, we have to partner and work with the world otherwise it will create unnecessary wars and economic disasters. History has taught us that a friend can be a foe and a foe can be a friend and that this world is meant to be shared and made a truce with. We must establish friendship because the world is a global economy and there is no separate economy. One person will always have goods that other people will not and vice versa. We must lessen the power of companies and examiners within our country and think about the broader perspective. We must reduce the complications of filing and fees. The United States Patent and Trademark Office must remain neutral and unpolitical.
