<p>SamanthaD: /* VIRIS */</p> <hr /> <div>== VIRIS ==<br /> <br /> [[File:smallscreent.jpg|250px|thumb|right|VIRIS Model X]]<br /> <br /> [[File:crazy-lens-cyborg-a.jpg|250px|thumb|right|VIRIS Model Y]]<br /> <br /> [[File:person.jpg|500px|thumb|right|VIRIS Vision: the lenses give information on person you are looking at for more than 3 seconds]]<br /> <br /> VIRIS is a revolutionary contact lens system which allows one to detect any particles which may threaten human health as well as identify citizens who have compromised immune systems. Since 2020 this device has been known to improve public health and look out for the wellbeing of citizens. <br /> <br /> There are currently two different models of the device. The first being the standard version, Model X. The Model X is able to detect virus particles - even if they are airborne. They can detect if someone is sick with a viral infection regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Limitations to this model are its lack of ability to fully identify any bacterial infections such as Strep Throat. Moreover, Model X is not able to calculate contagion levels. <br /> <br /> The second, and most recent model of VIRIS is Model Y. Model Y offers advanced features. Model Y will give one the ability to view someone’s brief family history, including the country their parents were born in, and any genetic diseases associated with the family. These advanced lenses collect the personal information of the user including legal name, sex, current health-status as well as the age of the individual. Moreover, Model Y offers a bonus feature that allows one to understand different languages. The most recent update allows one to read captions in their preferred language when someone is speaking a different language. <br /> <br /> Minimum network requirement to operate this device is a 4G network and also has Wi-Fi capabilities to use. The Model X is now the most affordable device available at a price point of $650-$700 CAD. Model Y, however, is the most widely used and the most expensive at a price point of $1500-$2000 CAD.<br /> <br /> === Initial Release ===<br /> <br /> At the beginning of the VIRIS life cycle there were some people who were initially skeptical. LENZ with a Z was quite thorough in their research and development for this product- testing on voluntary people from almost every ethnicity, health status, and gender and weight. Many concerns were regarding whether this product would damage one&#039;s natural eye sight. Dr. Ojo - an expert optometrist- made it clear that LENZ with a Z&#039;s technology does not further damage natural human eye sight nor does it cause damage to already healthy eyes. <br /> <br /> Early Innovators of this technology encouraged the public to accept the benefits of this product and with consistent rising cases of COVID-19 in 2020 it was clear that the human race needed a tool to further understand just how easily transferable the virus was. Once specialists of WHO were involved with LENZ with a Z VIRIS was almost instantly accepted by the public.<br /> <br /> === Is VIRIS for you? === <br /> <br /> The development of VIRIS has brought innovation for safety and improving public health. Many public sectors such as public parks, shopping malls, and public schools understand that not everyone will be able to afford this technology and so the use of VIRIS is completely up to the individual to use or not. In a number of private sectors; however, VIRIS has become a requirement to wear and has become part of uniform in many office buildings and private schools. <br /> <br /> ==== Children and VIRIS ====<br /> <br /> In all models of VIRIS a Children&#039;s mode was developed for young kids ages 6-10. This setting was created to first introduce kids into learning about public health and safety. It offers a simplistic representation of the cleanliness of a space before they enter it. Moreover, if children attempt to approach a red zone there is a warning &quot;beeping&quot; sound that the child can hear. It does not provide information to children about the personal information of an individual.<br /> <br /> [[File:safe.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Example of what children see through VIRIS lens in a safe environment]]<br /> <br /> [[File:danger.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Example of what children see through VIRIS lens in a high-risk environment]]<br /> <br /> ==== Safety Concerns ====<br /> <br /> To get the full experience of VIRIS and ensure that VIRIS lenses last for a full 3 years it is essential to follow the cleaning procedures included in the VIRIS package. A sample cleaning kit is included with a first-time purchase of VIRIS and various subscriptions are available to receive the full cleaning set. <br /> <br /> Notifications are sent to smartphones to remind customers that they must clean their lenses after every use at the end of the day. Failure to do so will lead to difficulty in putting the lenses on in the next use. This safety feature is to ensure that the natural eye remains clean and healthy. <br /> <br /> For regular contact lens users or those who wear corrective glasses a prescription VIRIS is available - the cleaning procedures are similar with a few added steps outlined in the VIRIS cleaning kit.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> VIRIS was created in 2020 by (company name) a startup created by Bill Gates, Canadian university researchers and Bayer, an international pharmaceutical company. VIRIS was conceptualized as a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic that began in 2019 which lasted until 2022 and resurfaced again in 2025 as VIRIS was still in its infancy and bug fixes were being rolled out to users. The product was secretly developed by (company) as Gates, researchers and the medical industry became less confident that enough vaccines could be produced to successfully combat COVID-19 and future pandemics given the widespread damage to economic, social, political and healthcare systems in the wake of COVID-19.<br /> <br /> [[File:bayer bill gates.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Gates, Bayer executives and healthcare/agriculture officials at the &quot;Zero By 40 Meeting&quot; 2019]]<br /> <br /> === Project Implementation: 2020-2026 ===<br /> <br /> The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation already had prior experience with Bayer as Bill Gates had attended a conference to eradicate Malaria by 2040 which he attended in 2019. Due to these prior connections The project to design VIRIS was quickly implemented in the winter of 2020 leading into 2021 as immense funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Bayer pushed the project ahead quite quickly. Consequently, Model X, the company’s initial offering was in the hands of consumers in 2021. This had an immediate impact as users were able to stay away from people and areas that contained any harmful pathogens and this initially accelerated the disappearance of COVID-19 despite reports of a lack of worldwide adherence to social distancing measures. <br /> Rates of Illness steadily declined after Model X was released although a mutated strain of COVID-19 resurfaced in 2025. It was revealed that the resurgence of viral activity was due to a major software bug which incorrectly identified unsafe areas as pathogen-free and vice versa. <br /> Through the discovery of the software bug In Model X update 1.06 it was revealed that VIRIS had many serious social implications as stigma surrounded those with viral activity – and they were often wrongly identified. Some critics argue that the bug issues and stigmatization should be blamed on the growing divide between Gates and Bayer, as the two tried to take (company) in different directions. Gates wanted to make (product) more accessible worldwide while Bayer wanted to continue raising the price and marketing Model X to grow the business. <br /> <br /> === Good, Bad and Model Y: 2026-2040 ===<br /> <br /> After working out many of the software issues, VIRIS became crucial to eliminating the spread of disease and increasing overall health of the global population. Cures for cancer and HIV became more promising as researchers and the healthcare industry could focus more directly on new areas as preventing pandemics became a secondary concern.<br /> As Governments and NGOs alike had to focus less on illnesses, they turned to fighting against equality issues and realized that VIRIS had negative societal affects as well. Health outcomes of low-income families remained low as they struggled to afford Model X and this disproportionately affected oppressed members of society based on race, gender and sexuality. <br /> Some school boards used VIRIS as a teaching tool to introduce children to public health education and supplied Model X to all students, while many private institutions closed their doors to students who did not have (product) due to associated risk, further deepening the wealth gap associated with private schooling.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Model Y: 2034 ====<br /> <br /> Model Y was seen as a vast improvement over Model X and further protected users, but was also direct proof to critics that VIRIS disparately protected only the wealthy with its retail price of $1500. With its new features, many also began to worry about government agencies and (company) collecting data and conducting surveillance on VIRIS users.<br /> <br /> === Onwards: 2040- ===<br /> <br /> With the release of Model Z expected soon, many humanitarian organizations are calling for (company) to subsidize the cost of VIRIS to low income users or to make the base model, X free so that income, and racialized disparities existing in society are eliminated. Many have argued that VIRIS played a role in exacerbating equity issues worldwide despite alleviating pressure on the global healthcare system.</div>

The product was secretly developed by (company) as Gates, researchers and the medical industry became less confident that enough vaccines could be produced to successfully combat COVID-19 and future pandemics given the widespread damage to economic, social, political and healthcare systems in the wake of COVID-19.<br /> <br /> [[File:bayer bill gates.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Gates, Bayer executives and healthcare/agriculture officials at the &quot;Zero By 40 Meeting&quot; 2019]]<br /> <br /> === Project Implementation: 2020-2026 ===<br /> <br /> The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation already had prior experience with Bayer as Bill Gates had attended a conference to eradicate Malaria by 2040 which he attended in 2019. Due to these prior connections The project to design VIRIS was quickly implemented in the winter of 2020 leading into 2021 as immense funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Bayer pushed the project ahead quite quickly. Consequently, Model X, the company’s initial offering was in the hands of consumers in 2021.

Some critics argue that the bug issues and stigmatization should be blamed on the growing divide between Gates and Bayer, as the two tried to take (company) in different directions.

Health outcomes of low-income families remained low as they struggled to afford Model X and this disproportionately affected oppressed members of society based on race, gender and sexuality. <br /> Some school boards used VIRIS as a teaching tool to introduce children to public health education and supplied Model X to all students, while many private institutions closed their doors to students who did not have (product) due to associated risk, further deepening the wealth gap associated with private schooling.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Model Y: 2034 ====<br /> <br /> Model Y was seen as a vast improvement over Model X and further protected users, but was also direct proof to critics that VIRIS disparately protected only the wealthy with its retail price of $1500.

Since 2020 this device has been known to improve public health and look out for the wellbeing of citizens. <br /> <br /> There are currently two different models of the device. The first being the standard version, Model X. The Model X is able to detect virus particles - even if they are airborne. They can detect if someone is sick with a viral infection regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Limitations to this model are its lack of ability to fully identify any bacterial infections such as Strep Throat. Moreover, Model X is not able to calculate contagion levels. <br /> <br /> The second, and most recent model of VIRIS is Model Y. Model Y offers advanced features. Model Y will give one the ability to view someone’s brief family history, including the country their parents were born in, and any genetic diseases associated with the family. These advanced lenses collect the personal information of the user including legal name, sex, current health-status as well as the age of the individual. <br /> <br /> Minimum network requirement to operate this device is a 4G network and also has Wi-Fi capabilities to use. The Model X is now the most affordable device available at a price point of $650-$700 CAD. Model Y, however, is the most widely used and the most expensive at a price point of $1500-$2000 CAD.<br /> <br /> === Initial Release ===<br /> <br /> At the beginning of the VIRIS life cycle there were some people who were initially skeptical.

Many concerns were regarding whether this product would damage one&#039;s natural eye sight. Dr. Ojo - an expert optometrist- made it clear that (company name)&#039;s technology does not further damage natural human eye sight nor does it cause damage to already healthy eyes. <br /> <br /> Early Innovators of this technology encouraged the public to accept the benefits of this product and with consistent rising cases of COVID-19 in 2020 it was clear that the human race needed a tool to further understand just how easily transferable the virus was. Once specialists of WHO were involved with (Company Name) VIRIS was almost instantly accepted by the public.<br /> <br /> === Is VIRIS for you? === <br /> <br /> The development of VIRIS has brought innovation for safety and improving public health. Many public sectors such as public parks, shopping malls, and public schools understand that not everyone will be able to afford this technology and so the use of VIRIS is completely up to the individual to use or not. In a number of private sectors; however, VIRIS has become a requirement to wear and has become part of uniform in many office buildings and private schools. <br /> <br /> ==== Children and VIRIS ====<br /> <br /> In all models of VIRIS a Children&#039;s mode was developed for young kids ages 6-10. This setting was created to first introduce kids into learning about public health and safety. It offers a simplistic representation of the cleanliness of a space before they enter it.

Since 2020 this device has been known to improve public health and look out for the wellbeing of citizens. <br /> <br /> There are currently two different models of the device. The first being the standard version, Model X. The Model X is able to detect virus particles - even if they are airborne. They can detect if someone is sick with a viral infection regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Limitations to this model are its lack of ability to fully identify any bacterial infections such as Strep Throat. Moreover, Model X is not able to calculate contagion levels. <br /> <br /> The second, and most recent model of VIRIS is Model Y. Model Y offers advanced features. Model Y will give one the ability to view someone’s brief family history, including the country their parents were born in, and any genetic diseases associated with the family.

Many concerns were regarding whether this product would damage one&#039;s natural eye sight. Dr. Ojo - an expert optometrist- made it clear that (company name)&#039;s technology does not further damage natural human eye sight nor does it cause damage to already healthy eyes. <br /> <br /> Early Innovators of this technology encouraged the public to accept the benefits of this product and with consistent rising cases of COVID-19 in 2020 it was clear that the human race needed a tool to further understand just how easily transferable the virus was. Once specialists of WHO were involved with (Company Name) VIRIS was almost instantly accepted by the public.<br /> <br /> === Is VIRIS for you? === <br /> <br /> The development of VIRIS has brought innovation for safety and improving public health. Many public sectors such as public parks, shopping malls, and public schools understand that not everyone will be able to afford this technology and so the use of VIRIS is completely up to the individual to use or not. In a number of private sectors; however, VIRIS has become a requirement to wear and has become part of uniform in many office buildings and private schools. <br /> <br /> ==== Children and VIRIS ==== <br /> <br /> ==== Safety Concerns ====<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> (product) was created in 2020 by (company name) a startup created by Bill Gates, Canadian university researchers and Bayer, an international pharmaceutical company. (Product) was conceptualized as a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic that began in 2019 which lasted until 2022 and resurfaced again in 2025 as (product) was still in its infancy and bug fixes were being rolled out to users. The product was secretly developed by (company) as Gates, researchers and the medical industry became less confident that enough vaccines could be produced to successfully combat COVID-19 and future pandemics given the widespread damage to economic, social, political and healthcare systems in the wake of COVID-19.<br /> <br /> === Project Implementation: 2020-2026 ===<br /> <br /> The project to design (product) was quickly implemented in the winter of 2020 leading into 2021 as immense funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Bayer pushed the project ahead quite quickly. Consequently, Model X, the company’s initial offering was in the hands of consumers in 2021. This had an immediate impact as users were able to stay away from people and areas that contained any harmful pathogens and this initially accelerated the disappearance of COVID-19 despite reports of a lack of worldwide adherence to social distancing measures. <br /> Rates of Illness steadily declined after Model X was released although a mutated strain of COVID-19 resurfaced in 2025. It was revealed that the resurgence of viral activity was due to a major software bug which incorrectly identified unsafe areas as pathogen-free and vice versa. <br /> Through the discovery of the software bug In Model X update 1.06 it was revealed that (product) had many serious social implications as stigma surrounded those with viral activity – and they were often wrongly identified. Some critics argue that the bug issues and stigmatization should be blamed on the growing divide between Gates and Bayer, as the two tried to take (company) in different directions.

Cures for cancer and HIV became more promising as researchers and the healthcare industry could focus more directly on new areas as preventing pandemics became a secondary concern.<br /> As Governments and NGOs alike had to focus less on illnesses, they turned to fighting against equality issues and realized that (product) had negative societal affects as well. Health outcomes of low-income families remained low as they struggled to afford Model X and this disproportionately affected oppressed members of society based on race, gender and sexuality. <br /> Some school boards used (product) as a teaching tool and supplied (product) to all students, while many private institutions closed their doors to students who did not have (product) due to associated risk, further deepening the wealth gap associated with private schooling<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Model Y: 2034 ====<br /> <br /> Model Y was seen as a vast improvement over Model X and further protected users, but was also direct proof to critics that (product) disparately protected only the wealthy with its retail price of $1500.

<p>SamanthaD: /* Initial Release */</p> <hr /> <div>== VIRIS ==<br /> <br /> [[File:smallscreent.jpg|250px|thumb|right|VIRIS Model X]]<br /> <br /> [[File:crazy-lens-cyborg-a.jpg|250px|thumb|right|VIRIS Model Y]]<br /> <br /> <br /> VIRIS is a revolutionary contact lens system which allows one to detect any particles which may threaten human health as well as identify citizens who have compromised immune systems. Since 2020 this device has been known to improve public health and look out for the wellbeing of citizens. <br /> <br /> There are currently two different models of the device. The first being the standard version, Model X. The Model X is able to detect virus particles - even if they are airborne. They can detect if someone is sick with a viral infection regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Limitations to this model are its lack of ability to fully identify any bacterial infections such as Strep Throat. Moreover, Model X is not able to calculate contagion levels. <br /> <br /> The second, and most recent model of VIRIS is Model Y. Model Y offers advanced features. Model Y will give one the ability to view someone’s brief family history, including the country their parents were born in, and any genetic diseases associated with the family. These advanced lenses collect the personal information of the user including legal name, sex, current health-status as well as the age of the individual. <br /> <br /> Minimum network requirement to operate this device is a 4G network and also has Wi-Fi capabilities to use.

<p>SamanthaD: </p> <hr /> <div>== VIRIS ==<br /> <br /> [[File:smallscreent.jpg|250px|thumb|right|VIRIS Model X]]<br /> <br /> <br /> VIRIS is a revolutionary contact lens system which allows one to detect any particles which may threaten human health as well as identify citizens who have compromised immune systems. Since 2020 this device has been known to improve public health and look out for the wellbeing of citizens. <br /> <br /> There are currently two different models of the device. The first being the most basic, Model X. The Model X is able to detect virus particles - even if they are airborne. They can detect if someone is sick with a viral infection regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Limitations to this model are its lack of ability to fully identify any bacterial infections such as Strep Throat. Moreover, Model X is not able to calculate contagion levels. <br /> <br /> The second, and most recent model of (Insert name here) is Model Y. Model Y offers advanced features. Model Y will give one the ability to view someone’s brief family history, including the country their parents were born in, and any genetic diseases associated with the family. These advanced lenses collect the personal information of the user including legal name, sex, current health-status as well as the age of the individual. <br /> <br /> Minimum network requirement to operate this device is a 4G network and also has Wi-Fi capabilities to use. The Model X is now the most affordable device available at a price point of $650-$700 CAD. Model Y, however, is the most widely used and the most expensive at a price point of $1500-$2000 CAD.<br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> (product) was created in 2020 by (company name) a startup created by Bill Gates, Canadian university researchers and Bayer, an international pharmaceutical company. (Product) was conceptualized as a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic that began in 2019 which lasted until 2022 and resurfaced again in 2025 as (product) was still in its infancy and bug fixes were being rolled out to users. The product was secretly developed by (company) as Gates, researchers and the medical industry became less confident that enough vaccines could be produced to successfully combat COVID-19 and future pandemics given the widespread damage to economic, social, political and healthcare systems in the wake of COVID-19.<br /> <br /> === Project Implementation: 2020-2026 ===<br /> <br /> The project to design (product) was quickly implemented in the winter of 2020 leading into 2021 as immense funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Bayer pushed the project ahead quite quickly. Consequently, Model X, the company’s initial offering was in the hands of consumers in 2021. This had an immediate impact as users were able to stay away from people and areas that contained any harmful pathogens and this initially accelerated the disappearance of COVID-19 despite reports of a lack of worldwide adherence to social distancing measures. <br /> Rates of Illness steadily declined after Model X was released although a mutated strain of COVID-19 resurfaced in 2025. It was revealed that the resurgence of viral activity was due to a major software bug which incorrectly identified unsafe areas as pathogen-free and vice versa. <br /> Through the discovery of the software bug In Model X update 1.06 it was revealed that (product) had many serious social implications as stigma surrounded those with viral activity – and they were often wrongly identified.
