 Since Spring 2020 our lives have been turned upside down by COVID-19. Now, a vaccine promises to be our knight in shining armor and save us from getting sick. In this course, basic information about vaccines and how they stimulate the immune system to protect us will be given. We will pay particular attention to the new COVID-19 vaccine and why you should get it. We will discuss different ways society views vaccines, particular attention to the current anti-vaccination movement and how social media has impacted the spread of anti- vaccine propaganda. As we discuss these issues our goal will be to dispel the many myths and misinformation that are prevalent in our society.
This class will be presented through Zoom.
 Chuck Peek, who will be teaching "Six More Great Short Stories" in the Spring term, would like 75-90 minutes of your time to talk some about how Modern and Postmodern short stories appeal to us--what might be their common ground, story to story touching on things that touch our hearts and engage our minds. Our discussion will involve our own walks down memory lane about the people and places that nurtured us and stood out in our communities. If you have a favorite short story, have it in mind for our discussion.
