[Leica] A Silver Lining

[Leon Pomeroy]

Hi Steve:

Your reference below to a "silver lining" is right-on. It's a big deal. We
need all the pointed and vicarious help we can get to overcome a rising tide
of cynicism and paranoia concerning vaccines and attitudes towards science,
government, and authority in this country. This, quite apart from the
assorted ideologies abroad which view us (i.e., Western civilization) as
lacking a soul.in spite of the heroic efforts of medical missionaries like
Albert Sweitzer and others. Thanks for commenting. Leon   

 

"hi Leon,  

I am an Infectious Disease Specialist for children, so I read your article
about Ebola, with special interest....

the medical disaster that is Ebola, has one silver lining... It helps people
appreciate the ability of vaccines to save vast numbers of lives, and to
reassure millions.

Steve"
