In my concert spiel about eschewing jet travel and questioning some of our routine conveniences, I sometimes say “Some aspects of modernity are literally life-saving: I’m not suggesting we give up antibiotics…”
That was in the abstract. But right now, as I start to get on top of this anaplasmosis bug, I’m happy I renounced air travel and not doxycycline.
Then, as I was thinking that thought, I realized one of the major US political parties endorses, or at the least condones, just the opposite: maximizing fossil fuel development and minimizing vaccination.
Not that the other major party is particularly serious about curtailing fossil fuels either...
