  2. I wish I could comment on the Substack blog, but whatever their issue is with not recognizing my paid subscription . . . is just a stoopid given at this point.

    Someone mentioned that the Polio inoculation had been a four-pronged shot in the ’50s. I believe what she is describing was actually the inoculation for *smallpox*, not Polio. I have a scar from the smallpox vaccine on the back of my upper left arm that matches this description exactly. I don’t remember getting the shot, as I would have been a baby/toddler at the latest.

    I vividly remember getting two doses of the Polio vaccine. The first was in San Francisco, circa 1961-62, and the second was in Long Beach (CA) a year or so later. Both times, the vaccine had been dribbled onto sugar cubes, and I ate them with gusto! (Me and my sweet tooth, ever present still.) I’m surprised and sorry for those who followed and had to get a jab in the arm in later years instead. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t have kept up with the sugar cube protocol. “Just a spoonful of sugar” and all that . . .

      1. Clay, it is just the weirdest thing. Whenever I get to the last step in the log-in process, even when you assisted me last time (much appreciated!), it basically refuses to recognize me or let me in.

    2. Deb, I LOVED those sugar cubes! LOL! The polio vaccines were the only ones I looked forward to. My mom had to stop buying boxes of sugar cubes for her coffee since I was eating them all. I’m still a sugar slut. 🙂 Btw, do you get billed monthly for your paid subscription? If so, I’m wondering if you can ask your bank (or however you pay for it) to decline further payments, then sign up for it again, and see if it works?

      1. Mary, no . . . I’d paid the yearly amount upfront, so no monthly costs.

        Also . . . *dying* at “sugar slut”! You are *so* my people, LOL!

      1. Clay, I haven’t tried to reset my password in a while, so my memory is hazy. I want to say that it either wants my previous password first, which I don’t remember, OR the previous password isn’t required, but it still gets hung up at the last step and gives me some sort of no-entry message. I should try to contact Substack.

  4. I believe the 83 deaths from measles in Samoa in 2019 are directly attributable to quack RFK Jnr’s anti-vax stand and comments. since then there have been deaths from measles and other preventable diseases among children and adults is only – wait for it – they had been vaccinated.
