TIDBITS® GETS

VACCINES

by Janet Spencer On March 6, 1810, Massachusetts enacted the first state legislation requiring vaccination. It required every town to choose three people to superintend the inoculation of all inhabitants with the cowpox vaccine. Come along with Tidbits as we get vaccinated!

Accept or Reject

Have you ever had an encounter or experience with God? Have you ever been in a jam and asked for help, gotten the help, and then moved on forgetting the trouble you were in and where you came from? In the scriptures we see back to back encounters with 2 men and 2 different responses in meeting Jesus and receiving a divine healing. The first man we look at is an invalid and crippled man of 38 years who got healed and walked away not acknowledging the source of his healing. He is later confronted by Jesus who warns him not to stay in his same lifestyle (attitude and mindset) or “something worse may happen to you.” This man chooses to bite the hand that fed him and uses his divine “I have dreams, haveunder nightmares. experience for selfish gain. He and throwsI Jesus the bus. We see a different response from a man who understands the divine I overcame the nightmares because purpose of Jesus. This man’s response is of gratitude and faith. His actions of are my described as one of–Jonas the best models dreams.” Salk of behavior on this side of Heaven; “The man took Jesus at his word and departed.” Both men received healings but the results of their actions were completely different. The second man validated Gods intervention and “he and his whole household believed.” We all face the choice of accepting or rejecting divine interventions. What’s it going to be, accept or reject the presence of God?

• Frustrated, Louis challenged veterinarians to attend a public demonstration. All manner of newspapermen, scientists, and doctors attended the test. Two groups of 25 sheep were collected on a farm outside Paris. Louis vaccinated only one group. Two weeks later, all 50 sheep were injected with a powerful strain of anthrax. After two days, all of the vaccinated sheep were fine. And all of the unvaccinated sheep were either dead or dying. • Still, Louis wondered how the anthrax was spread from animal to animal. Talking with a shepherd one day, he noticed a piece of the pasture grass was a different color in one spot. The shepherd told him that it was where some anthrax-infected sheep had been buried the previous year. Examining the plot, Louis noticed worm droppings, which he took home and examined under the microscope. They were teeming with anthrax, which they had brought to the surface from the buried carcasses. Louis further reduced anthrax by advising people to burn anthrax infested animals rather than bury them. • Next Louis turned his attention to a dreaded disease of humans— rabies. Although he was unable to see the rabies germs through his microscope, he was able to prove they were there by transplanting drops of spinal fluid from rabid rabbits to healthy rabbits. The healthy rabbits would soon have rabies too. To make a vaccine, he removed the spinal cords of rabid rabbits and hung them to dry in sterile flasks. His first vaccination was done on a dog. He ground up a spinal cord that had been drying for two weeks, and injected it into the dog. The next day he injected a spinal cord that had been drying for 13 days, the next day one that was 12 days old, and so on. After 14 daily injections, the dog was given a dose of full-strength rabies virus. The dog remained healthy.

● On March 11, 1888, one of the worst blizzards in U.S. history strikes the Northeast, dumping up to 55 inches of snow in some areas. In New York City, drifts reached the second story of some buildings and stranded passengers on elevated trains. Enterprising residents with ladders offered to rescue passengers for a fee. ● On March 14, 1919, Max Brand, perhaps the most prolific writer of Western stories, publishes his first novel, “The Untamed.” Max Brand was one of 21 pen names used by Seattle-born author Frederick Faust. Unlike many Western authors, Faust made no pretense to historical accuracy in his works. ● On March 10, 1926, “Lolly Willowes,” the first Book-of-the-Month Club selection, is published by Viking Press. The Book-ofthe-Month Club’s 4,000-plus members were not pleased with the tale of a spinster who takes up witchcraft, as the author was an openly gay woman. ● On March 13, 1969, “The Love Bug,” a Walt Disney movie about the adventures of a Volkswagen Beetle named Herbie, opens in theaters. The film centered on a down-onhis-luck auto racer who goes on a winning streak after teaming up with Herbie. ● On March 9, 1985, the first-ever Adopt-aHighway sign is erected on Texas’s Highway 69. The highway was adopted by the Tyler Civitan Club, which committed to picking up trash along a designated 2-mile stretch of the road. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Shortly afterward, a young boy who had been badly bitten by a rabid dog was brought to Louis. Louis had only tried his vaccine out on a single dog and was reluctant to try it on a human. But the boy’s mother was certain he would die without help. Louis administered his new vaccine, and the boy was saved. The news hit the papers and the world rejoiced to see the end of a dreaded disease. The boy grew up and became Louis’s assistant. In 1940, he committed suicide rather than unlock Louis’ crypt to the invading Nazi army. • Louis was a great scientist and performed many other medical services for humankind. Yet he’s remembered best for discovering that germs in milk cause disease— but if the milk is heated first, the germs are killed. This process is called pasteurization, after the inventor: his full name was Louis Pasteur. • Because 3 of his 5 children died in infancy due to disease, Pasteur was inspired to spend his life trying to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. By the time Louis Pasteur died in 1895 at the age of 72, he had already saved countless lives through his discoveries. I was almost done filling out a job application when the last question asked who to contact in an emergency. I left immediately; if they don’t know about 911 they probably don’t know much about 401K's either.

RABIES

• The word ‘rabies’ comes from the Latin word meaning madness. Because the virus infects the spinal cord and brain of its victims, it causes raging insanity, followed by paralysis. Victims die of respiratory failure. • Globally, 90% of rabies cases start with the bite of a rabid dog. However, in the U.S., only 5% of rabies cases come from dogs because rabies vaccines are so widely available. • Rabies can’t go through unbroken skin. People can get rabies only via a bite from a rabid animal or through scratches, abrasions, or mucous membranes in contact with saliva or brain tissue from a rabid animal. The rabies virus is short-lived when exposed to open air. It can only survive in saliva and dies when the animal’s saliva dries up. • Because the rabies virus is transmitted through saliva, the virus survives by making sure that the saliva is loaded with infection and that the animal is driven to bite whatever it comes in contact with. To ensure the saliva is thoroughly infected, the throat muscles are paralyzed, which prevents the 1.

The majority of the deaths occurred in Asia and Africa. India has the highest rate of human rabies, primarily because of stray dogs, whose number has greatly increased since a 2001 law forbade the killing of dogs. “I have dreams, and I have nightmares. • Over theI overcame past 10 years, rabies has because killed only a the nightmares total of 28 in the U.S. of people my dreams.” –Jonas Salk • About 400 to 500 domestic pets are infected with rabies every year in the U.S. Surprisingly, cats get rabies more often than dogs.

Wild foxes and raccoons eat the bait and inoculate themselves.

Looking for Love Online? Beware

If you’re considering whether you should look for someone to date by going online, be sure you know the signs of a scam. The Better Business Bureau has some suggestions: ● Find out if the dating site does background checks. Most of them don’t. Anyone can sign up, and the dating site is happy to take their money. ● The minute someone asks you for money, stop communicating immediately. It doesn’t matter what the reason ... never give so much as one cent. Beware if the person claims to be overseas, in the military or recently widowed. Many states have sex offenders databases. Check. ● Do a search online (use Google) to hunt for the person under the screen name and the “real” name. You can even put in snippets of text from your email communications to see if a pattern shows up. Put in the name and click “Images” to see if you spot familiar pictures. If you’re sent a photo, it might be fake. ● Beware suitors who are too quick to declare love or ask for marriage. Take a close look at the person’s social-media page. Does it look real? Check the dating site’s scam forums to see if you recognize any names or photos. ● Take someone with you if you decide to meet. ● Be wary of those who want to communicate outside of the dating site. You need the protection of the site, since many monitor communications to watch for patterns of scams. Here’s a better idea: Put out the word among your friends and acquaintances that you’re interested in meeting new people. Consider the groups you’re already in, or join new ones.

Cabin Fever Day is March 9th, 2015

Some fun things to do on Cab in Fever Day:

1. Build a fort- using pillows, couch cushions, sheets and utilize the kids toys for walls 2. Plan dinner and have your kids make it (of course with your supervision). Then after it is made have a picnic and eat in the den or living room on the floor 3. Make craft items with stuff you already have around your home. (a good way to reuse old items) 4. Inspire your own family Olympics: for example see who can shoot the most baskets with the Nerf balls, test who can stand on one foot the longest or even try to catch mini marshmallows in your mouth. 5. Watch a family movie with popcorn and enjoy the time with family members relaxing.

Noteworthy Inventions

JONAS SALK

• Jonas Salk was born in 1914 in New York City. After attending the New York University School of Medicine, he decided to go into medical research instead of becoming a physician. He accepted a job at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine where his goal was to discover how many different types of polio virus existed. • At the time, polio was one of the worst public health problems in the U.S. It was especially tragic because most victims were children. Polio, first described in 1835, grew steadily more prominent as the years passed. The virus is transmitted by fecal matter, mucus, and saliva. Once in the body, it travels to the brain or spinal cord where it causes paralysis of varying degrees. • Polio didn’t receive national attention until 1921 when Franklin D. Roosevelt was struck down by the disease at the age of 39. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair because of it, and ended up founding the March of Dimes to help fund research for a vaccine. • Salk’s research led him to begin experimenting with a polio vaccine. Although there was already a vaccine available for polio, the vaccine used living but weakened strains of polio, which sometimes ended up infecting the vaccinated person with the very disease it was designed to prevent. Salk was the first to experiment with a vaccine that used polio virus strains which had been killed before being administered so there was no way for the vaccine to cause the illness. Salk’s wife and three sons were among the first volunteers to be inoculated with his vaccine. • Over the course of seven years, Salk involved 20,000 doctors and health care workers, 64,000 public school workers, 220,000 volunteers, and nearly 2 million school kids in his trials of his new ‘killed’ vaccine. • Meantime, polio was raging. In 1952, nearly 60,000 cases were reported in the U.S., killing over 3,000 people and leaving over 20,000 survivors with some form of paralysis. Polio killed more people that year than any other communicable disease. • When the success of the new vaccine was officially announced on April 12, 1955, Salk was instantly hailed as a hero, becoming a national celebrity overnight. When he was asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk replied: “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” • According to one historian, the announcement led to widespread celebration: “People observed moments of silence, rang bells, honked horns, blew factory whistles, fired salutes, took the rest of the day off, closed their schools, drank toasts, hugged children, attended church, smiled at strangers, and forgave enemies.” • By the summer of 1957, 100 million vaccines had been distributed throughout the United States. By 1962, polio was nearly extinct, with only 910 cases reported that year. Today, global vaccination efforts by organizations such as UNICEF and the World Health Organization have almost completely eradicated polio from the planet. • The World Health Organization estimates that there are between 10 to 20 million polio survivors worldwide. In 1977 there were 254,000 persons living in the United States who had been paralyzed by polio. As one of the largest disabled groups in the world, polio survivors helped spur the modern disability rights movement through campaigns for the social and civil rights of the disabled. • In 1960, he founded the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Jonas Salk subsequently spent many years researching a vaccine for HIV. He died from heart failure at the age of 80 on June 23, 1995.
