Funny Email I Got
Satire at its best:
Biblical pandemic
The problem: a shortage of flu vaccine. The solution: Kansas.
Flu vaccines, as we know, are redesigned every year to fight mutated strains. "Why must they redesign those vaccines?" asks Kansas. "Flu viruses can't evolve. Evolution is just a theory." Kansas would be happy with last year's left-over vaccines. Kansas would be happy with a vaccine for the 1918 influenza epidemic. It's the same as the virus that Noah took with him on the Ark, isn't it?
If Kansas and other creationist states would take creationist vaccines, there would be plenty of real vaccines for the rest of us. By "real" vaccines, I mean vaccines designed by biologists who believe in evolution, just as real bridges are designed by engineers who believe in gravity.
