I think she is much smarter than he is to make her own decision

I looked in there and Ethyl was gettin’ her a cold drink...I hollered don’t look Ethel....but she’d already been mooned...flashed her...right there in front of the shock absorbers.

Perhaps he’s hoping to inherit ...

I sure hope his mom can make up her mind for herself.

Vaccine science isn’t complicated, or at least understanding it is fairly easy... it’s not rocket science... i don’t understand why this is so difficult.

I hope she gets it anyway.

And when he becomes an epidemiologist maybe I’ll listen to him. Until then— he’s serving no one with his opinions.

This is just so sad. I used to like him.

Why even publish this type of story ?

shes a fool.
