How The Vanderbilt Family Lost Their Entire Fortune

In the late 19th century, social and technological changes allowed thousands of families to get ridiculously rich and prosper in a period called the Gilded Age, as described by Time. It was an era where flaunting your wealth publicly was all the rage, even in the face of income inequality as millions of other Americans struggled day to day. The Gilded Age was when many of the infamously wealthy families got their start, from the Rockefellers to the Carnegies to the Vanderbilts (via ThoughtCo). But while their legacy is still recognizable today, with their names plastered on universities and cultural landmarks, for many, their fortune has been gone for some time now.
In his brief but highly informative video presentation, leading American microbiologist Prof. Vincent R. Racaniello talks about why most viral mutations and ‘variants’ are of very little consequence, and why claims that it is more transmissible are not supported by the real scientific data.
This then begs the question: are European countries panicking and closing their borders based on
fake news being disseminated by the UK government and mainstream media?
Prof. Racaniello points out that the UK Government’s NERVTAG science advisors are not actually following real science in their biological threat assessment, explaining that, “… in the end, I object to the use of epidemiological data to prove the biological properties of a virus. You need to do experiments with the virus to prove that you have increased transmissibility, or at least properties that are consistent with increased transmissibility, and that simply has not been done.”

Weâve never needed prayer more than this moment, so it wasnât the best timing for University of Vermontâs College of Arts and Sciences to drop its religion courses among major cutbacks this month.
I recalled signing on for the introductory survey course on worldâs religions my senior year at UVM. I quickly realized an 8 a.m. class wasnât a smart choice for a budding journalist, working downtown part-time, waiting for West Coast sports results to insert into the 1 a.m. final edition.
OK, it was 3 credits and a ticket to join my generation as we moved into the exciting lives that lay ahead for the next 50 to 60 years. Maybe the family traditions stayed with us at some level, but the religion course, and its variety of messages, was fading away in the rear-view mirror.
