What town is that in?

Getting the shot isn’t just about your lungs…it’s insurance for your heart and brain.

What most people don’t realize: flu and COVID can trigger heart attacks and strokes. The vaccines lower that hidden risk.

Bottom line: These vaccines don’t prevent all infections, but they do reduce the risk of hospitalization, death, and the hidden cardiovascular complications that follow.

Mechanism: Both viruses ignite inflammation and clotting that can destabilize plaques and strain the cardiovascular system.

COVID: Survivors face higher risks of heart attack, stroke, arrhythmias, and heart failure…even months to years later, especially if the infection was severe.

Flu: Risk of heart attack is up to 6× higher in the week after a flu infection; about 1 in 8 hospitalized flu patients develop a serious heart complication.

So I ask you…
what would be left of you
if hate were stripped away?
Could you stand in the quiet
without rage to prop you up?
Or would you collapse beneath the weight
of your own emptiness?
6/6

And yes, you call on God.
But if God made us all in His image,
then every person you scorn
is a piece of the very God you claim.
5/6

You parade your hate as strength,
but it’s weakness on display.
You brand it as conviction,
but it’s fear dressed up in armor.
4/6

The differences you despise
are just normal human variation—
like the color of one’s eyes,
or a hand that writes left instead of right.
But you’re too angry to even notice.
3/6

Tell me…
what do you gain
when you turn someone else
into an enemy?
Does it lift you higher,
make the mirror kinder,
when you point your finger outward?

And what makes each side the most outraged?
👉🏼 That the other side said, did or believes in something we oppose.
How about instead of outrage posting, we try to get the whole picture on a topic to better understand the other side? Division & hate don’t make us better people or a better country. 2/2

I don’t mean to sound critical. I really enjoy your newsletter! Thank you!

I spotted an error in your email this week.
“The COVID vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective and millions of doses have been given worldwide.”
That should be “billions” of doses to put it into better context.
