I have a quiz for you: what's the difference between a phial of serum and the racket of serums? Sorry, I can't hear you, please turn down the volume of your TV. We turn every disaster into a racket. If you have time, now that Al-Ahli has been eliminated from the African Champions League, try to follow the story of the terrible struggle in Egypt's vaccine market.
We've left the disaster called flu and went out of our way with the serum racket. Several teams are battling it out. One imports serums (where do they take them from?), another deals with domestic ones, another with serums as an alternative to water pipe, and another produces serums with a share of the gains. All these teams have reached the semifinals, while normal people have been left in the relegation zone. The health minister should agree with all these teams on how to arrange this championship, even by letting the losing team leave from the airport and letting the imported product arrive in the country by harbor. When some people choose a car, they pick up one which is not like the more expensive alternative. Eventually, they may tell you the one they picked up is ok and has no problems even though it cannot do what the other can. Day in and day out, news come in that a new vaccine has been discovered, but then we find out that these announcements are just experimental broadcastings and that no study has been done yet on the effects of this serum on human beings or not even on President Obama, who breeds poultry. Sorry, I can't hear you, please turn down the volume of your TV. It's normal for a disaster to be turned into a racket in this country. As for us, we just passively watch the disaster; follow those teams battling it out, say "congratulations" to the winner and "hard luck" to the loser.
They are making business even with our disasters. People now hate hearing about serums and are indeed missing title deeds and rocks falling on people and mincing them up before running after other victims. Sorry, I can't hear you, please switch off the light next to you and go to sleep.
