Shots . . .

. . . not in the dark

(https://www.parents.com/health/vaccines/controversy/vaccines-the-reality-behind-the-debate/)

". . . In some pockets of the country, a rising number of parents are delaying shots for their kids or skipping certain ones altogether, citing religious or philosophical exemptions from state laws that require kids to be vaccinated in order to attend school. As a result, there have been recent outbreaks of serious diseases that vaccines had virtually wiped out in the U.S., including measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), and haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), which was once the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in kids under 5. . . Infectious-disease specialists say these cases are due to a breakdown of what's known as "herd immunity." In order for a community to be fully protected against a disease, 80 to 90 percent of its population needs to have been vaccinated, says pediatrician Lance Rodewald, M.D., director of the Immunization Services Division of the CDC. Whenever coverage drops significantly below that level, a school, a church, or a neighborhood becomes susceptible to the disease. Babies who aren't old enough to get the shot yet are at the greatest risk of becoming sick. . ."

Oops. . .

I overheard an uplifting little story recently . . . one of two men of indeterminate age says, ‘You seem to be enjoying yourself though, I must say. It’s gotten you out of your box.’  The second responds, ‘Well, I don’t like to be too philosophical but you must live in the moment.  This is only gonna happen once.  You have to enjoy it because it’s not going to come around again.  November 8, 2014 is here now and won’t be back tomorrow. ‘


Truly inspiring.  Only problem is . . . I overheard it on November 6.

Epitaphs . . .

My epitaph, which I would have if I chose a traditional burial, and which I could not bring myself to write as an assignment in Miss Simon's tenth grade English class at Dundalk Senior Hight School in 1973, based strictly upon philosophical principles, I have now decided should be:

  "He Wasn't Too Bright
  But He Cared"
