8. I was thinking today as I left the lab for blood work

A lot of people were lined up to get their booster, so I asked the guy in the elevator if he just got the booster. He said no he just got done with a ration of various shots because he’d recently had some kind of organ transplant, didn’t go any further. But I was thinking to myself, we live in a day and age where medicine can fix so many things. People have grown accustomed to that. Medicine can fix so many things, even a lot of stuff that is more or less self imposed. People growing up not that long ago we’re just glad to be able to avoid a lot of stuff. I really think 50 yrs ago we’d never find ourselves in the state we are. I think a lot of people would like to see a persons behavior taken into account when treatment is handed out. I guess I’m glad we aren’t there yet but seems to me at some point it’ll have to be factored in.
