Yes, the name of the company was Lederle labs. We were the only maker of polio, and the primary producer of many children’s vaccines. Thanks for letting me know about your history as that is so awesome to hear. Unfortunately, vaccine makers got a lot of bad press, even though they wiped out or severely limited many childhood diseases: Measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, chicken pox, and of course, polio.

Yeah, growing up it seemed that I was sick every other week w/something. Mom would take me to the Children's Clinic here in Jackson ... it became my 2nd home at the time.

I remember having a problem with strep, never had my tonsils removed, then had mononucleosis, and never had another problem with it.

@W.TN.Orange Blood looks like the cowboys are most likely to face Tampa in the playoffs, how are you feeling about that one? They’ve bumbled a bit this year, but not sure I’d want to face Brady in the playoffs.

I'll take the wait & see approach right now. Cowboys have played Tampa once already & should be in good standing on how to beat Mr. Brady's ass the 2nd time around..

That would be the most Cowboys thing that could happen. Lose to the worst Brady team of all-time 🤣

One of the hottest teams in the NFL at the moment. Lawrence finally understands their playbook.

And they don’t have a coach that has random “medical conditions” pop up every couple of years. They have a guy that can put a Super Bowl ring on the table and command respect from grown men instead of acting like he is running a college program.

Cowboys are always looking for ways to improve each year. Their confidence is not lacking.
They don't draft very good each year & they rely on their 1st rd choice to hold up the ship.

They also rely on Jerry to pay their QB $75M in one season and pay their RB to play like he is semi-retired.
