Last WEEK Dec 1, 2022 by Mary

Membership/Attendance - 39 active members, 18 attending

Guests -Dr. Stephan Thomas, Chief of Infectious Disease at Upstate and Stacy Drake, Dale's spouse

The Beginnings - President Ed called the meeting to order and led us in the Pledge. Ed welcomed our speaker and visitors.

The Program - Ed introduced our speaker, Dr. Stephan Thomas who is also our Skaneateles neighbor. Dr. Thomas talked about how he knew he wanted to be a physician at an early age and the steps he took to achieve his goals. He spoke about those that were inspiring to him stating that "you have no idea the influence you can have on someone's life." Dr. Thomas spent a number of years in the military working on infectious diseases as threats and developing countermeasures to those threats. Most recently Dr. Thomas was instrumental in the development and rollout of one of the COVID vaccines. With his very informative slide presentation he explained how the virus makes its way into body cells and then replicates itself. Dr. Thomas talked about the importance of vaccines in both reducing stress on the health care system through avoidance of hospitalizations and relieving human suffering with diminished symptoms. He also explained the factors that allowed the rapid development of the COVID vaccine: technology was already in place, there was fast investment by both government and drug companies, and the normal regulatory process was bypassed. Dr. Thomas said that the virus will continue to mutate and develop variants. It was an informative presentation! Thanks to Dr. Thomas !

Closing -Ward led us in the Four Way Test to close the meeting.
