Re: Gates trying to build a stairway to Heaven?

For the most part we appear to agree.

If the choice came down to vaccinating a person who was condemned to poor sanitation, unclean water and lack of nutrition or not I will concede that is some instances a vaccination might be better than doing nothing at all - I would just prefer to see the emphasis on helping the poor have better nutrition, clean water and better sanitation instead of a vaccination first (and often only) approach.

If I don't need to understand what you are talking about in regards to a numbered posters messages, then why did you choose to include it in your reply to me?  At any rate, let me know what you find out.  Privately if you prefer.

When you finish your investigation, perhaps you could take on something that is puzzling to me:  namely, why the pattern of a certain group of people coming along and responding to my posts with innuendo and/or personal attacks and/or attempts to renew old grudges.  As best I can tell, such posts and posters are attempting to make ME the issue instead of what the thread started out about.

The way I see it, healing, helping and trying to "educate instead of medicate" is what this website is supposed to be about.  Cheap shots, personal enmity, holding on and/or attempting to resurrect old grudges, behind the scenes skullduggery and such are not in keeping with those ideals and, imo, the members of this site would be best served by putting such issues and actions in the past and moving on.
