Today, I travelled back in time, to the pre polio vaccine era

I closed my eyes, imagined being paralyzed… unable to breathe

I imagined being stuck in this claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe

Maybe we all need to time travel, to appreciate how science & public health saves us, every day.

Nenhuma rede, nova ou antiga, vai mudar o ser humano, seu jeito de pensar e agir. O que pode mudar é o ambiente. O entorno influencia muito.
Se a gente conseguir ser menos agressivo, ler posts sem julgar, melhor pra todos.
