ah, so you’re entering your last trimester. i am due feb. 9, and she’s still nameless. she’s my second. and this pregnancy has been totally different- the first was symptom-free, this time around, i’ve incurred all sorts of ailments.

But look at all the people who were spared polio from 1957 when Salk vaccine approved to 1963 when Sabin approved. Only one was first.

And Sabin’s was earlier & was oral, not injectable.

Wild the way the light reflecting off the snow is keeping it light later – last week at this time we’d’ve been in the dark (literally, not metaphorically) but because of albedo it’s not even twilight.

blowfish! – omg!!!! wow I didnt realize so soon – are you due in Jan? what are you having again? am sorry u r so uncomf – I hear from others that the last few weeks are awful
I am due march 28. Is this your first?
email me -christineb1975@hotmail.com if you want to chit chat about being pregnant

Arkady,

true,
that’s the irony,
Sabin’s live-attenuated vaccine was the superior
vaccination, as opposed to the killed virus version.

Sabin deserves equal historical prominence.
