I love this story, This Flamingo is having a great life. I assisted in human autopsy and am trained in clinical pathology as well as medical laboratory techniques. Navy Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland. In addition to usual corpsman training, I spent 15 months on assignment at the U.S. What are my qualifications for making a recommendation for the vaccination? I am an honorably discharged U.S. But, overall, huge amounts of people will be saved from death. We need to note those reactions and treat that allergy. It does not mean that individuals have not died from severe allergic reactions. It is hard to come up with any evidence against vaccinations. We have a good system of diagnosis and vaccination. Rabies would have resulted in thousands of individuals dying annually but, because of the vaccinations of pets, and the immunity that is available through vaccinations, we have had very low mortality from rabies in the United States. Look at all the good we have had with smallpox, measles, and polio that would have not taken place without vaccinations. It will personally protect you from the coronavirus whether or not the American population has “herd immunity.” The vaccinations offer a turn-around and can save potentially thousands of human lives in the United States alone. It is expected to go much higher with the limited control put into effect at this point in the United States. As I write this, it is reported that the United States’ coronavirus cases exceed 20 million and that mortalities of people exceed 350,000. Pete, may we veterans help save the monarch! We could use a national program directed by someone such as the head of the Department of the Interior.Ĭome on, people, get your vaccination against the coronavirus as soon as possible. Now its time to throw a life jacket to the monarch butterfly and hopefully this will help do that. We had a pile of onion bags stuffed all the way to the ceiling in my classroom and the US navy got them. The collection of milkweed pods had been taken very enthusiastically by my class. I wondered whether the milkweed collected by my class was in some of those life jackets which were pretty darn old. Some 20 years later, I was in the US navy and I was frequently around and wearing life jackets. The Navy will stuff their life jackets with the fluffy material from inside the pods and that will prevent our sailors from drowning”. legget brought in to class onion bags, which somewhat resembled orange fish nets and she said, “We are going to collect milkweed pods for the US navy.
Peter, I have some strong affection for the milkweed that doesn’t have to do with the monarch butterfly, it has to do with my first-grade class in 1944 in Chatham, New York. State lands in New York wildlife management areas could make sure that they grow milk weed as well. Rod and gun clubs, garden clubs, 4-H and such organizations could make sure that they have milkweed on their properties, providing for the necessary growth for the survival of the monarch butterfly. Birds would benefit too such as the Bobolink, and Meadow Lark that utilize and nest in grasslands.
We could come up quickly with a program for the highway grasslands with little to no cost to the tax payer. We have the mowers, the state botanists and entomologists to implement a program to benefit the monarch butterfly. The state already has the capability of producing lots and lots of milk weed without increased cost. For example, here in New York along our interstate highways, the thruway, the Northway, the Taconic parkway there is all kinds of land where the milk weed can grow and we have got personel there mowing the grass along these highways. Well, it is absurd to think the monarch butterfly could go extinct when there is so much land available to grow the milkweed. The monarch butterfly is totally dependent on the milk weed for its survival. Herbicide use in cornfields, lawns and other sites by our general population has limited the distribution of the milkweed. However, there is considerable discussion that the monarch populations will trend downward and perhaps even go to extinction. I am glad that you have milkweed and food for the monarch butterfly at the Berkshire Bird Paradise. Peter and I have been discussing saving the monarch and other butterflies for over 30 years.
