I never saw her other than in the machine. My friend shared a bedroom with her, so I saw her every time I went to their house. As I recall, she died a few months after I moved to the town. Shortly after that I remember lining up to get the polio vaccine on a sugar cube. It was remarkable homoow quickly the polio threat disappeared. Anyone who doesn't believe in vaccines either has a screw loose or needs a serious rethink of their sources of information. Masking and vaccinations have kept me safe from covid. Hooray for the Mpox vaccinations. And from experience I know you don't want to get shingles, so if you're over 50 get the vaccination! I fear we're headed to a bird flu pandemic and we'll be even less prepared than we were for covid. Maybe ivermectin will work. Or perhaps bleach injections. People who made a life whilst living in an iron lung were perfect examples of never giving up. It would have taken many months or even years to develope ability to "Frog Breathe" & then to feel confident enough to actually spend time away from what would essentially be a prison. I doubt anyone from the polio pandemic would still be alive. I think the last one passed away sometime in 2025. What a person 😇🕊️🕊️🕊️.

"The process of "elimination of poisonous agricultural chemicals" is something that has only received nibbles around the edges of the issue. Substantial remediation is necessary. I realize that some chemicals used in agriculture are, in fact, beneficial, and cause no harm. I suspect however, that those are few and far between. We need comprehensive, long-term testing, and the balls to toss that which is found unhealthful. 1
