Now We Have a Vaccine Delivered in Potatoes in the Wings - Not only are there no safety studies on these vaccines, but once we let the genie out of the bottle with GMO vaccine producing plants, it may be impossible to reverse, no matter how serious an issue future researchers determine this to be.

New Recording Device - I have been using the new Sony Minidisc player since the beginning of the year to record the lectures I attend. They are a bit pricey at $350 (one also needs to purchase an external microphone $50 and carrying kit $25) but they are far better then MP3 players. The $2 mini disks hold over 5 hours of information in the compressed LP 4 format and the entire player only weighs about 4 ounces and easily fits into a shirt pocket. The recording quality is to good to believe, no hiss no hum, absolutely outstanding. The rechargeable battery will record for 15 hours or play for over 50 hours on one charge. More than enough to record a full day of lectures without swapping batteries or tapes. I got mine directly from Japan as until this week there were no US versions. Highly recommended (I have no affiliation with this company or Sony).

VACCINES - An Educational Seminar - Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is one of the leading physicians with the National Vaccine Information Center and she is so compelled to help children she has taken time off of her very busy alternative medicine practice in Cleveland to lecture around the country and educate physicians and health care professionals about this topic.
