 [“Anti vaccines”] COVID-19 vaccines saved an estimated 20 million lives in 1 year! Those who are against vaccination are doing so for political reasons not medical reasons. All anti vaccine web sites and info is made up to fit in with the political beliefs of those who are against the American government. There are no reliable medical facts to back up their frightening claims. Now the political anti-vaxxers want to stop the measles vaccine, again with no medical evidence to support their bogus claims, just fake websites, personal opinions, a paranoid imagination and an imagined love of our nation.

 [Temperature] Here is how it looks outside at 11:30 pm on New Year’s Eve for many of the people in my life. A whole lot warmer than this time last week. I hope that bodes well for 2023. Gotta go now & wait for the ball drop & in KW, the Sushi Drop. I will celebrate with a piece of chocolate for a sweet new year. My grandmother used to make honey cake for a sweet year. My other grandmother made sweetened chickpeas. I’ll settle for the chocolate. See you next year. |
