Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox. “In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

What stuck with me: “One difference with America is that parties don’t have to mobilize the vote: The state gets the vote out for them. There’s not the same benefit in highlighting these sorts of issues around sexuality, gender, religion, which is seen in America. Your base is going to vote anyway.”
