Dear friends,

I just watched a segment on TV in which CNN reporter John King revealed that he is living with multiple sclerosis, and has been afflicted with this disease for many years. He was inspired to reveal his condition publicly in the aftermath of Colin Powell’s death. King explained that although he is vaccinated against COVID (as was Powell), his immune system is suppressed, so he appreciates his coworkers all being vaccinated too.

I echo his sentiments. I also live with a chronic and degenerative health condition that compromises my immune system.

My point: We live in community with others, and our decisions always affect those around us.

Be well,

Annette
