Where’s the West Nile vaccine?

KOSCIUSKO — The West Nile Virus carried by mosquitoes is now at Epidemic Levels.  

I have fiends, who have gotten the virus and it has made a severe problem for them and their recovery.  Mosquitoes breed in hot weather and stagnant water.  

If you cleanup your yard of areas that are excellent breeding ground for this pest, neighbors down the street may not. Containers that hold water may not be emptied and before you know it mosquitoes are in your yard and coming into your house.  

We can help in our neighborhood, but the problem I have is that they have  a vaccine for West Nile Virus in horses.

But the question I am asking  is:  "Where is the vaccine for humans?"

This problem is too severe to remain on the back burner!

  • Prayer for the return of sanity

    Time and money, Mississippi seems to have it to blow.  Since our state has been taken over by Tea Party Republicans nothing has been done in this state to improve the economy.  These people have spent our time and our money on issues that are not within the realm of our state government.

  • To the customers, stockholders of M&F

    In 1890 a group of investors saw the necessity for a bank to meet the needs of the people and businesses of Kosciusko and Attala County.  Merchants and Farmers Bank was thus established and for 123 years it has met those needs.  M&F has fostered a culture of community and caring, always putting people and their needs ahead of corporate gains.
