Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
An Irish Times article today raising the alarm for whooping cough and measles infections increasing. Childhood vaccinations down. The article is shared on Facebook and the comments section harps straight back to Covid vaccines. Makes me sad and also makes me think of that old saying - 'You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink' - I see another message on that old saying now - 'you shouldn't make it drink' just be patient. Feels like that old Covid Horse got dragged to the water, had her head plunged into it and nearly drowned so now she's scared of the water. I hope one day we can get past this. Be patient, I guess.
Something I never expected happened today. We had a house fire started near the chimney that was either caused by the chimney or something electrical. We live 10-15 minutes from the fire department and they got there quickly. We are safe and I am well insured so I feel grateful that this wasn’t worse. I’ll share a few pictures of the damage. It’s a yucky mess and I have an excellent restoration company who arrived about an hour after the fire! Again, I feel grateful and lucky that our house can be repaired.
