I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.

Flu Vaccinations

Flu vaccination is a curious thing. You willing allow a virus to enter your body, albeit one that is supposedly dead and can’t reproduce, so that it generates antibodies that can fight off a live virus should one come along. But a few days after the injection, you get a very mild case of the flu. Sniffles, slight fever. You accept that — getting sick voluntarily — because theoretically those antibodies are now present and on guard for months, that is, for the upcoming “flu season.”

One wonders if there is any actual evidence that any of this works. Evidence as in statistical proof involved two large groups — one group vaccinated and the other not — and the numbers on how many in each group get sick. One would suppose there is such evidence, even to the point of indicating just how effective these vaccinations really are.

See the link below for this evidence.

Slander in Politics

Now we see how low the Dems will go to slander the opposition. Scumbags really, but very creative — a 35-year-old slander that no one can either prove or disprove. It’s a perfect slander for taking down an honorable man. I suppose if you have bankrupt ideas policy wise, slander is the only alternative. But it has made a lot of people very angry to watch an honorable man like Brett Kavanaugh get skewered by sleazy politicians.
