Agreed. When my atheist grandfather died, I found a bible in his desk. Pages and verses were marked. I kept it and this atheist still reads it 60Y later, with an open and critical mind. Some of my friends find it odd but I think it's important, particularly given the current context.

I'm Belgian. I live in the countryside near Namur, Belgium. When our Air Force F-16's in training make a low pass above my neighborhood, I tend to get nervous, too.

Same here. On that fateful Saturday, October 27th, 1962, my mom and dad were talking about it, unaware that I was near and could hear them. I did not really realized what it was they were discussing, until my dad said: "We may not be here Monday". I had nightmares for years.

Music to my ears in my retirement years. It gives even more meaning to the intense, stressful decade when I was member of the team leading the development of Cervarix, the GSK vaccine against HPV. It's a blessing to be able to see the long term benefits of your work. Wishing everyone as much.

When visiting #Budapest 4Y ago, we took the guided tour of the opera house. It was truly amazing. Magnificent building. At the end, all groups gathered on the grand staircase and the gallery for a live performance by two singers of the opera company. Magic. 📸 @drmicheldee.bsky.social

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
