Are We Being Good Ancestors?

My Ambition Was To Bring To Bear On Medicine A Chemical Approach. I Did That By Chemical Manipulation Of Viruses And Chemical Ways Of Thinking In Biomedical Research.

We Were Told In One Lecture That It Was Possible To Immunize Against Diphtheria And Tetanus By The Use Of Chemically Treated Toxins, Or Toxoids. And The Following Lecture, We Were Told That For Immunization Against A Virus Disease, You Have To Experience The Infection, And That You Could Not Induce Immunity With The So-called "killed" Or Inactivated, Chemically Treated Virus Preparation. Well, Somehow, That Struck Me. What Struck Me Was That Both Statements Couldn't Be True. And I Asked Why This Was So, And The Answer That Was Given Was In A Sense, 'because.' There Was No Satisfactory Answer.

Risks, I Like To Say, Always Pay Off. You Learn What To Do, Or What Not To Do.

I'm Saying That We Should Trust Our Intuition. I Believe That The Principles Of Universal Evolution Are Revealed To Us Through Intuition. And I Think That If We Combine Our Intuition And Our Reason, We Can Respond In An Evolutionary Sound Way To Our Problems.

It Is Courage Based On Confidence, Not Daring, And It Is Confidence Based On Experience.
