How Vaccines Changed my World

8/18/2021

The current urgency for vaccination prompted me to go find a story. I didn’t have to go far – several members of my family in the last century or so were impacted or died young from serious diseases. In my own lifetime a number of these diseases have been beaten and I realised in modern Australia we have lived safely under the umbrella provided by dedicated scientists. I found that the man who is credited with saving more lives than anyone else in history was a Christian with a big heart.  WATCH as Paul shares the story that has changed all our lives.

You made me interested to read bit more about Dr. Jenner. Smallpox was a terror for us in India. We heard stories and sensed terror in elders voice when ever somebody mentioned that disease (I was 10yrs late to experience the disease, thanks for the cowcination) . Let us echo Dr. Jenner's wish and give thanks to God for using him.

Spent the last two hours looking at your very inspirational videos on your website.

From the Dubbo Church St story where I "pulled" teeth doing a locum nearby over fifty years ago, even some of the marble from Orange at the magnificent masterpiece on display at the Gundagai Visitors Centre, to this great story on vaccines.

Please keep the good work up Paul!
