I was reflecting today on how happy I am with our family move to Salt Lake City, Utah. There are plenty of reasons to like the state. The many National Parks, the beautiful mountain canyons, a friendly, healthy environment and so many family-friendly activities. I must say however, that I felt a certain sense of reverence with one particular thought.
Less than 42% of girls have received the full Gardasil vaccine schedule. From what I understand, that is the lowest rate in the county. That statistic alone deserves a Huge Huzzah!! I knew I was surrounded by so many caring, conscientious parents and friends.
There is something to be said for a parent that thinks things through, and doesn’t just follow blindly. A self-correcting individual.
There was a time when one could hold certain government offices in high regard, to know that our best interests were always on the forefront.
Unfortunately, those days are long gone with only the hope for a different day. One that employs less cronyism, revolving doors, money and prestige. Where the health and well-being of a nation is foremost.
I see today as a time to make thorough health choices in regards to our self and those in our care. A time of great healing for our vaccine wounded with a trump sounded to end the ongoing damage.
