Illnesses, vaccines, end-results, and fears

As a child of the 1940's and a post WWII world where new discoveries were frequent and wonderful, I experienced a bit of both the pre-medical-wonders world and the prolific advances in medical science.

I had most, if not all of the childhood diseases - measles, mumps, chicken pox. We had frequent colds. And I had pneumonia five times before the age of 6 years. No antibiotics for help in getting well. Just one's own immunity and the tender loving care of family, nurses, and doctors.

I count it a blessing that I and my family escaped the polio epidemic that raged during my childhood. Others didn't, and their bodies were ravaged from that terrible illness.

Thankfully, the scientific and medical world was busy discovering many new aids for the fight against disease. So when my own children were in their early childhood, the Dr. Jonas Salk POLIO VACCINE became available.

When made available in our area of the United States, we stood in line and received ours's. Even our current "babe in arms" received it. We didn't hesitate. You see.....

We had seen and experienced the ravages of disease in our lives and the community. We were thankful for the privilege to have the opportunity to defeat the foe. 

Years later, the effort to eradicate one of the childhood diseases - SMALLPOX - became a reality as the result of world-wide vaccination against this disastrous virus.

So today, I speak as one who trusts our medical scientists, our doctors, and especially the doctors who treat me and my family. Today, in our time-line, there is a virulent virus rampant in the world killing and causing life-time bodily harm. Our defense is to be on the offensive. Our weapons* include being vaccinated against it.

So I am pro-vax. I and my husband are vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

*Other weapons include: masking, washing hands frequently, distancing oneself.

Protect your hands with Winter or Seasonal Hand Creams from Good Earth Beauty Exclusives [Shopping Discount Code]

In some parts of the country, the weather is brutal. The cold, snow, sleet, chilling rain takes its toll on our skin. Pair the effect of the weather on our skin with the constant and thorough hand washing we're doing to help stem the tide of the pandemic of Covid-19, a major rescue effort is called for.

I think that can be achieved by using the Good Earth Beauty Exclusive hand cream. These are pure, natural, and vegan. They are soothing, comforting, and enriching when used on my hands. I also like to slather some on my arms, neck and shoulders, and lower legs. 

Pure enjoyment and works wonders on rough, dry skin.

Currently, I have the Gingerbread Cookie in one bathroom and the Lavender Vanilla at my kitchen sink. It is second nature to enjoy a brisk application of this creamy lushness after hand washing. 

They have a fabulous assortment of sensual delights to choose from in these Hand Creams. Today we're featuring some of the "Seasonal" hand creams.
