Today’s Thought [Prose Poem: “For Science”)

In honor of the successful non-disintegration of the Earth upon activating the Large Hadron Collider.

***

god is a field of potential
wishing to be known
it knows itself
and our all our minds and our yearnings
serve the execution of this flawless circuit
which is why science
in all its poetic rigor
is the most sublime and highest art
the inquiry of existence
for the sake of everything that exists.

When did vaccinations become controversial?

http://blog.lsc.edu/wave/files/2008/10/flu-shot.jpg

Just got the seasonal flu shot free from my job. Lots of folks are against vaccinating these days, but I don’t understand why. Vaccination is the most homeopathic practice in Western medicine. The disease is used to provoke the body’s natural protective powers. Some will argue that the delivery agents used in the vaccines are dangerous. I would counter that trace amounts of synthetic prescription medications can be found in any quantity of ordinary drinking water. Where is the rational line to be drawn between skepticism and outright conspiracy fantasies?
