Victor Guevara knows people his age have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in many countries. His own relatives in Houston have been inoculated.
But the 72-year-old Honduran lawyer, like so many others in his country, is still waiting. And increasingly, he is wondering why the U.S. is not doing more to help, particularly as the American vaccine supply begins to outpace demand and doses that have been approved for use elsewhere in the world, but not in the U.S., sit idle. We live in a state of defenselessness on every level, Guevara said of the situation in his Central American homeland.

The big Pentagon internet mystery now partially solved
BOSTON (AP) â A very strange thing happened on the internet the day President Joe Biden was sworn in. A shadowy company residing at a shared workspace above a Florida bank announced to the worldâs computer networks that it was now managing a colossal, previously idle chunk of the internet owned by the U.S. Department of Defence.
That real estate has since more than quadrupled to 175 million addresses â about 1/25th the size of the current internet.
âIt is massive. That is the biggest thing in the history of the internet,â said Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Kentik, a network operating company. Itâs also more than twice the size of the internet space actually used by the Pentagon.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Victor Guevara knows people his age have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in many countries. His own relatives in Houston have been inoculated.
But the 72-year-old Honduran lawyer, like so many others in his country, is still waiting. And increasingly, he is wondering why the United States is not doing more to help, particularly as the American vaccine supply begins to outpace demand and doses that have been approved for use elsewhere in the world, but not in the U.S., sit idle.
“We live in a state of defenselessness on every level,” Guevara said of the situation in his Central American homeland.
