I paid for a VPN for the first time. I researched for over two weeks among dozens. I finally paid for @NordVPN  and in the hour so far, it's been amazing. I highly recommend it.

I received my first dose of @AstraZeneca  COVID-19 vaccine today. Thank you @ShendetesiaAL  and @Instituti_ShP  and @KujdesiShendets  for providing us with the vaccine.

No junk replies. I really need to know this. Why are people against COVID-19 vaccination?

Thank you all. I've concluded the following are as reason for people saying no to vax: 1. People are against *forced* vax 2. Some folks aren't sure about results 3. Serious illness & death caused after taking vax in some cases 4. Conspiracy theories 5. Those who don't need it.

6. Comorbiditiy associated with COVID vax. 7. Extremely low medical & scientific knowledge. 8. Distrust of the government. 9. People who trust others were told the vaccine can't be trusted. 10. People scared of reported cases of ashtma, heart attacks & blood clotting after vax.

Ticket prices for flights out of Afghanistan skyrocketing while airlines use people's necessity & compulsion. While PIA stopped its Kabul—Islamabad flights ops, @KamairRQ  resumes flights but with a hefty ticket price: Previous air fare: $200 New ticket price: $2500 #Shame 

That's the first picture by the US Army Special Forces that made this gesture go viral. .
