    See what I mean sweetie? A mugger friend talked to me about an Aussie who shared the Nobel prize with two others for his role in developing PENICILLIN! Then I thought what if there were no antibiotics? Then I thought what if no vaccines had ever been developed? And then I wondered how many would have died over the years without them? I don't know if we can put chemo in there too but without it I would have died in 2008 from the cancer. So here we are alive because of something someone invented! Boy that is staggering isn't it? Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Sunday to thee! STAY SAFE! :) This post was edited by RosieG at August 23, 2020 8:52 AM MDT

    WHO estimates that immunizations save 2-3 million lives every year. Since I don't expect a thanks or any response, you're welcome.
