How this pandemic will save millions of lives. Nanites
 
I recently finished the TV series Travelers. It is a series about people from the future traveling back to our time trying to save us from destroying the earth. They had advance medical procedures using nanites and now it's a reality. The show was first produced in 2016. The following is a TED Talk.

Well, Ben Franklin would have to travel forward in time to give this information and I do not understand these words; TED Talk and Nanites.

I do highly concur with old Ben when he said; An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I don't hang with time travel. I enjoy fantasies on TV..........but I am counting on you to make this post a little clearer. Sir/Madam.

My comments about the TV series was just to imply that, when I watched the show, I thought it was just fantasy, but then I watched the TED Talk video. Did you watch the video?

This TED talk, only ten minutes long, is an excellent, understandable description of mRNA and what it is doing for us now and can do in the future. Well worth watching.

TED talks have been around since 1984. There's really no reason why you would not have ever heard of them. You can even find them on bing.

Perhaps if you watched the video you would learn it's not fantasy. It has already happened.

I've seen the "Travelers" series and knew before I started watching it that it was SyFy. I also watched "Dumbo" when I was a child, but have never expected, but still waiting for elephants to fly.

Tell me that the Covid vaccine is little tiny metal robots and I will decline a booster shot. Actually, at this time I am prepared to decline the booster anyway.
