vaccine article in today's Globe
What a joyful start to the new year: my article in the Globe about my father's polio, the Salk vaccine, and the issue of vaccine hesitancy, with a plea to anti-vaxxers. Hope it makes a difference. I'm happy it appeared on a Saturday with other vaccine articles. Just sorry they did not print the photograph to go with it. So I'll share it here.
People have been sending messages since early morning, via email and text and on FB and Twitter. Thanks to you all! As Chris said, There is nothing like scientific experience to gainsay the opinions of those who think they know better through rumour and prejudice.
I think everyone knows someone who is embracing ignorance and darkness these days. It's a wonderful thing to light candles.Yes to candles. And as Jason texted, "Great work. Now do more." Yes sir!
Watched a wonderful documentary on NYEve: My Octopus Teacher. How to fall in love with an octopus - turns out it's easy, we viewers do too. Loved it. Highly recommended.
Today, my first piano lesson since March. There will be pain.
May 2021 bring you health and fulfillment and many steps forward. Much love.
