5:30 PM -  Elon Musk  Ray Blanco, one of the most well-known tech investors in America… "just after 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on January 20th, Elon Musk is set at Tela Investor's event to announce one of the biggest breakthroughs of the 21st century.                   Because the $2 battery company is sitting with the keys for Tesla’s continued domination."  

I had made up my mind until today that I was not going to take the Covid 19 vaccine.  Young healthy people who took the vaccine had an adverse reaction to it and had died.  The CDC, Communicable Disease Center, continues to ask those who have taken the vaccine to social distance and wear a mask when in public.  This is telling me they did not have much confidence in the vaccine.

The children have been encouraging Debbie and me to take the vaccine.  Matthew and Melodie have taken their first of two shots.  Today Autumn sent a text with all the family on the thread with Sister Windy Nelson injecting President Russell M. Nelson with the vaccine.

With approval from our physician, my wife, Wendy, and I were vaccinated today against COVID-19.  We are very grateful.  This was the first week either of us was eligible to receive the vaccine.  We are thankful for the countless doctors, scientists, researchers, manufactures, government leader, and other who have performed the grueling work required to make this vaccine available.  We have prayed often for this literal godsend.

As a former surgeon and medical researcher, I know something of the effort needed to accomplish such a remarkable feat.  Producing a safe, effective vaccine in less than a year is nothing short of miraculous.  I was a young surgeon when, in 1953, Dr. Jonas Salk announced that he had developed a vaccine against the cruel and crippling disease of polio.  I then watched the dramatic impact that vaccine had on eradicating polio as most people around the world were vaccinated.

For generations, the Church of Jesus Christ has donated considerable resources to making vaccinations available for people in developing countries.  Vaccinations have helped to eliminate diseases such as diphtheria and smallpox.  My professional and ecclesiastical experiences convenience me that vaccinations administered by competent medical professionals protect health and preserve life.

Receiving the vaccine today was part of our personal efforts to be good global citizens in helping to eliminate COVID-19 from the world.

          I sent a text to the children asking them what are you trying to say, "follow the prophet?"  I said if so, your point is well made.
