Thank you for posting this on Substack and without a paywall. I share your concerns. It’s very informative and I hope you don’t mind my sharing it. Thank you, John.
Hidden within the familiar ache of illness lies a quieter story — of immune memory erased, of bodies struggling to remember the songs of protection they once knew. Like rivers after a drought, the immune systems touched by measles and its long echo seem to flow with less certainty, searching for their former strength. This reminds us how delicate our woven shields are, and how compassion for those facing unseen battles becomes an essential medicine of its own.
In the fragile dance between past infections and future resilience, we are called to tend not just our bodies, but the communal garden of health we share. How might we, together, strengthen the unseen roots that nourish our collective well-being? ∞
