A syringe with water drop pushed out by tiny plunger for MacroMondays theme of PushPull this week.
I took many photos. One with eye-wash foam dribbling out won't even get posted. Usually it pours out in a nice, large sudsy foam! Another with a spray of water we use for indoor houseplants. That won't appear.
Oh well, it was fun to try all of these. Messy, but fun. Thanks for looking.
When chatter collects, telling thousands of stories at simultaneous rhythms coalesce into an entity that is a public dwelling, this will soon become normalcy from what the shell of a distancing-lifestyle the previous year has left before the face of humanity. Working together to once again live again in this world together. Our goal is nearly reached, one day at a time, rebuilding oneself.
Sorry to have been absent a lot of the week, a feeling puny week, but happy to have made the second vaccine appt. today. These two really didn't need the shots - not apt to catch the virus - but Don and I really did need them.
Because of the fear surrounding the Delta variant, the push for vaccination has kicked in even deep in the heart of Trumpistan. This free standing billboard advertise vaccination outside a CVS pharmacy, right at the entrance.

New York Times opinion writer Charles M. Blow reminds us, “Republican politics have become oppositional politics: Deny the science, demean the media, own the libs. Conservatives are less defined by what they are for than by what they are against.” It’s important to remember: the best interests of the American people mean nothing to the GOP. Accepting changing demographics by working with minorities rather than restricting their right to vote is not on their agenda. And neither is acknowledging the destruction caused by climate change. Sadly, logic, common sense, and working with Democrats to solve these issues are MIA.
Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, has become just one of the latest poster boys for the ongoing and derelict actions of the GOP. Donald Trump has left the White House. But politicians are vying to become his successor. And there are 74,222,958 reasons why.
On July 30, 2021, DeSantis issued an executive order prohibiting local school districts from mandating masks for students. His press release said this was “after the Biden Administration issued unscientific and inconsistent recommendations that school-aged children wear masks. The Florida Department of Health will enter rulemaking in collaboration with the Florida Department of Education to protect parents’ freedom to choose whether their children wear masks” (emphasis mine). Before looking at studies that show that masks do work, DeSantis’ reasoning, to protect parents’ freedom to choose, directly contradicts the GOP’s stance on a woman’s right to decide whether she has an abortion. But remember, logic means nothing to Republicans.
An extensive study recently conducted in Bangladesh has shown that wearing surgical masks can reduce the infection rate from COVID-19. Over 340,000 people in 600 villages were part of this study. It showed a reduction of 9.3% in confirmed COVID infections and an 11.9% reduction in symptoms. Jason Abaluck, an economist at Yale who helped lead the study, said, “I think a big error would be to read this study and to say, ‘Oh, masks can only prevent 10 percent of symptomatic infections.’” He believes the reduced rate of infections would be a lot higher if mask-wearing were universal. While this study is under peer review by the publication Science, there are at least forty-one other studies that have been peer-reviewed and have come to similar conclusions.
At least seven county school districts have defied DeSantis’ “mandate against mandates.” Many of these districts are Republican strongholds. And the Florida Board of Education voted in mid-August to punish two districts that defied the governor’s ban on requiring students to wear masks. At the end of August, Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper blocked DeSantis’ prohibition stating his executive order was “without legal authority, arbitrary, and capricious.” He went on to say, “The law expressly permits school boards to adopt policies regarding the health care of students, such as a mask mandate, even if a parent disagrees. Parents’ rights are very important, but they are not without some reasonable limitations.” The governor has filed an appeal with the courts and continues to withhold school board members’ salaries in counties that have ignored his directive.
Governor DeSantis, here are some facts. Over 5000 students and staff of Florida’s Hillsborough County public schools are in isolation or quarantine because of spreading COVID infections. In the first 15 days of school, they registered over a 10% increase over the rate during the last 17 months. Fifteen Miami-Dade school staff and educators have died of the coronavirus since school started this year. Two teachers and a teaching assistant recently died of COVID in Broward County. And an unvaccinated and unmasked elementary school teacher in Marin County, California, passed on COVID to half of her students and some of their family members. Despite these statistics, Governor DeSantis and others, like Texas Governor Greg Abbott, refuse to follow the science. Donald Trump was initially responsible for politicizing this disease, but many Republican legislators continue to endanger our children and their families. This is political opportunism at its deadliest.
Mask-wearing and vaccinations can reduce the effects of COVID. They save lives. Putting a price on resistance through vaccine mandates or weekly testing is gaining traction. You can lose your job or be prohibited from eating in restaurants or attending concerts. Last month, a Harris Poll COVID-19 tracking survey showed that almost two-thirds of Americans believe we should require proof of vaccination to fly domestically. Actions have consequences. That’s what I’ve taught my children. Sadly, many adults never learned that lesson. This is a public health issue, one that outweighs personal liberties.
Ron DeSantis and others like him don’t care about us. They certainly don’t care about our children. They care only for their political futures. And people are dying because of it.

This was the day my hospital did our first handful of COVID-19 vaccinations, and bearing witness was beautiful. In my religious tradition, we believe God gifts humanity with sound minds for thinking and bodies for doing and hearts for fueling, and that is how the scientific sausage gets made. Look, I know big pharma can be complicated (hello, opioid crisis), and also we aren't worried our kids will get polio these days. Both can be true.
This horrifying year we have seen the world and particularly our country ravaged by the coronavirus, and I am grateful for those who've worked hard to change the trajectory. If you are someone who isn't particularly scientific, I'd urge you to speak to someone who knows how to interpret the data regarding the virus, regarding vaccines. Our country suffers from scientific illiteracy, so it's important to ask for help (and recognize that experts have credentials they've studied and worked hard to earn).
In this photo, our physician-in-chief, an infectious diseases doc's reaction to receiving his vaccine made the socially distanced room erupt in cheers. He's done a lot of work keeping us in the loop about the virus, and his joy... we all felt it.

Charles Pfizer born in 1824 in Württemberg came to America with his cousin Charles Erhart in 1848. Pfizer was a chemist and Erhart a grocer.
In 1849 Pfizer and Erhart started a chemical company near the Town of Williamsburgh in what is now New York City's Borough of Brooklyn. They took over an existing red brick building at Harrison Ave and Bartlett Street.
In 1849 the Pfizer company rolled out its first product — a product made from santonin to treat intestinal worms.

I finally received my first Covid vaccination yesterday. The only side effect was a renewed sense of optimism. Absolutely no sign of eternal love towards Bill Gates or a desire to bow down and worship our lizard overlords. I was hoping that I could use the microchip for contactless payments at the supermarket, but I couldn't get it to work this morning. If my DNA does mutate I plan to apply to join the Xmen.
This is me getting my 1st shot out of 2 of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at Rowan Medical Center in Stratford, New Jersey on March 3, 2021.
