David Kirby's next book, "Death at Sea World," isn't out till July but already there are two petitions against it. You know, don't buy it, don't read it, don't believe it. Kinda familiar, eh?

When I first read about this, I decided to contact my Mayor to ask if our city could do the same. I heard back from him Friday, and his response was hopeful. He said:
Jeanne,
Thanks for your note. As a proud first-time grandparent, I share your concerns about vaccine safety. Since I cannot give you a definitive answer, I am (by copy of this email) asking Ms. Yvonne Madlock, Director of the Memphis and Shelby County Health Department, to assist me in answering your questions.
Additionally, I am intrigued by your suggestion that I form a Parent/Public Committee to look into the concerns noted in your email. Such a committee would serve to assure parents that we take their concerns seriously.
We'll be in touch.
Mayor AC Wharton
I think that sounds hopeful... don't you?
