Pandemics are not new. Historically there have been many. During the quarantine besides needlepointing I have caught upon reading. I love biographies and historical accounts in addition to many books on plants/herbs/flowers. I have caught on three series- The Borgias, The Medicis, and DaVinci’s Demons. There are many plaques seen in these series throughout Europe and Italy. We had the Black Plaque , the Bulbonic Plaque that unleashed horrific deaths . In the face of epidemic it was always done to quarantine the sick
The ‘ modern’ equivalent is the quarantine the healthy or the general population. This would flatten the curve. It did its purpose but is highly unsustainable for long periods of time. We have done this The next idea would be to mass vaccinate. I have a story to tell you In the 1980’s there was talk that a preventable vaccine would be ready for the current HIV epidemic of that time. It would take two years. To date, this NEVER materialized. I don’t know what will happen with a COVID 19 vaccine. When will it be ready? Those that have been sick will develop antibodies and be immune. So while we are waiting for a vaccine the immunity we must deal with is person to person viral transmission. This is called herb immunity It will take years. But so what. I suspect since drugs for COVID are being investigated and taking a longer than predicted time—the same will happen with a vaccine.
The question is : Would you want to be vaccinated? A new vaccine? You must research what is in a vaccine today. Are there heavy metals in vaccines? Yes. Are there are other viruses in a vaccine? Yes
Until tomorrow…
