Medical intervention ‘always comes down to risk versus benefit’

From Ginger Beck, Glenwood

With advertisements in local papers informing the public that children 6 months and older are now eligible to get a covid shot, it should be recognized that the perspectives of scientific and medical experts differ greatly on this subject. There is no fixed or final “science” that guarantees any injection to be absolutely safe for your child; rather, there is ongoing debate. It always comes down to risk versus benefit, whatever the medical intervention is. Dr. John Campbell, respected by persons on all sides of the covid issue for having integrity and being fair to both camps, has a video on Youtube called “Thai vaccine heart complications,” in which he voices his concerns about the results of a recent study out of Thailand regarding vaccine after effects on youngsters. This would be well worth listening to before a decision is reached regarding one’s own youngest family members. Dr. Campbell has been a long time pro-vaccine advocate, and has received all the covid shots and boosters himself. This is just a reminder to diligently do your own research, then do what you believe is right concerning your own children, whose lives are in your hands. 

‘Sedan Daze 2022’

From Duane Cooley, Long Beach

I’d like to thank Sedan, MN for a great day.

I did my small part to help with the 2022 Sedan Daze celebration on Saturday.

Larger thanks goes to the fire department, committee members, chairs and volunteers that put it all together.

Some of us were even pulled out of mothballs to help put it on.  By the way, I had a great time! A fun-spirited bunch of good people.

One of the most personable small cities anywhere.  Sedan really is a treasure. Sedan never takes itself too seriously. A cool relief on a warm day.

There really is Paradise in Pope County. Sedan, Minn.
