At this time of year, health systems can be overwhelmed by the number of people infected with the flu virus. I cannot understand why vaccination should not be encouraged for all groups of people who do not have any contraindications. All government departments with health responsibilities should agree to vaccinate the maximum number of people. This should be preceded by an information campaign to convey to citizens the importance of individual and collective vaccination. We already know that the flu vaccine is not 100% effective. However, it has been shown to reduce the severity of disease in infected people. Everything above about the flu also applies to the covid-19 vaccine, with the added advantage that both vaccines can be given in the same course.

Porn and violence
In pornographic content readily available on the Internet, one can find images of sexist violence that may influence the behavior of those who consume these images through imitation. However, these explicit images do not seem to be the most common, and the predominance of the complacency factor is much more common: performers tend to constantly demonstrate their tendencies, their intense satisfaction, and the complete lack of inconvenience or failure. The inconsistency between these fictional stories and the complexities of real-life relationships can generate frustration and anger that can lead to violent attitudes. I believe that emotional sex education is necessary to more effectively help citizens gain personal control over these behaviors.

About disability
The government reached an agreement with some opposition parties to amend Article 49 of the constitution to refer to people who were previously called “disabled people.” I am one of those who has suffered a disability assistance loss since 2015. Aid is only increasing. The latest loss is a bonus that exists on registration taxes when buying a new car, which currently only applies to purchases of high-cost or luxury vehicles. It’s not inappropriate to acknowledge a name that might be more respected, but what’s really needed are measures to back it up. This is true respect and consideration.

patriotism
Pedro Sánchez went to Davos with a cheap down jacket from a Spanish company that did more for patriotism than decades of bracelets and blazing fires. Patriotism, true patriotism, has more to do with practice than with theory, and it’s good for politicians to demonstrate this with some practice every now and then, even if some of it is superfluous.
