• Vaccination is a public health issue because influenza is a highly contagious disease. If you don't vaccinate your child, his or her schoolmates are much more likely to become ill. That is why some places (New York, for example) are making the vaccine mandatory for school children.

• Mi pequeño torrente de palabras se disipó en una elaborada sensación de expansión y retroceso. Era mi entrada en el resplandor de la imaginación. Este proceso se magnificó especialmente con las fiebres de la gripe, el sarampión, la varicela y las paperas. Las tuve todas y con cada una de ellas tuve el privilegio de alcanzar un nuevo nivel de conciencia. Yaciendo en lo más profundo de mí mismo, la simetría de un copo de nieve girando sobre mí, intensificándose a través de mis párpados, me apoderé de un recuerdo muy digno, un fragmento del caleidoscopio del cielo.

• We know there are certain types of viruses that are nasty - influenza, for instance, is an area that is not a blindside. But a lot of viruses have come out of nowhere, like H.I.V., or to a certain extent SARS. Because we know we have the potential to be blindsided, we really have to investigate the unknowns.
