<a href="http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996546" target="_blank">Vaccines that don't need to be refrigerated</a>. What a wonderful concept. I ran across <a href="http://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_dreams/2004/10/vaccines_in_the.html#more" target="_blank">this story</a> at Liz's place, <a href="http://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_dreams/" target="_blank">I Speak of Dreams</a>, and it really piqued my interest. The advantages of it to vaccinate people across the world are amazing. Personally I file it under agriculture. The advantages of vaccines for animals not to be refrigerated are astounding. <br />n<br />nYou go out to work cattle you have to have a cooler full of ice to keep your vaccine in to keep it cold. It would be so nice to not have to do that. Don't get me wrong, raising cattle health in other countries would threaten the prices I get paid for cattle but I still laud the advantages of it. If we are running around vaccinating more people we will need to improve agriculture to feed them better and this same technology will do it. Fascinating!!!<br />n<br />n<b>Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.
