Just looked up “malignant neoplasm”. It’s essentially cancer. So.. both Homicide and Cancer are about 2.4/100,000 risk.

If you add Suicide by guns, suffocation and drug OD, it is 2.3 so about same as Homicide and Cancer.

Some covid jab stats have myocarditis/ side effects risks as high as 1/500.

It’s important to reach out to our grandchildren to sow Joy into a world that is so very angry and hate filled . I’m sending this beautifully written message to my daughter in love to share with my pre-teen and teenage grandchildren 🙋🏻‍♀️♥️🙏🏻 Thank You 😊

This is beautifully written, CM, and it's helpful parenting advice, too. My kids are all grown up now, but during their childhood I did what I could to allow them to live in their own world, unrushed into the menacing "realities" of the adult world. Your handling of the situation with your daughter sounds just right... when the "real" world intruded, you stepped in with love and let her know how blown out of proportion statistics can be.

Even for us adults, it's so good to remind ourselves of the joy available to us, always, right now. Thanks...xox

Now I wonder if I met you at the COVID litigation conference! It was such an amazing weekend to be around like-minded people for 36 hours! I look forward to reading more.
