If ever a year was appropriate to be deemed
tohubohu it was 2020. It is hard to believe after all that has happened, that it could even possibly be time to turn our attentions toward planning for Palm Sunday. But even in such a state, with so many things looking different, including how we worship together, life continues.
Eco-Palms are a project of the University of Minnesotaâs Center for Integrated Natural Resources and Agricultural Management (CINRAM), which works with the Rainforest Alliance TREES program and SmartWood to certify palms for sale to Christian congregations in the United States. Other entities that have been involved include wholesaler Continental Floral Greens and distributors Greenwing and Hermes Floral.
In some cases, anti-vaccine activists are fabricating stories of deaths that never occurred.
âThis is exactly what anti-vaccine groups do,â said Dr. Peter Hotez, an infectious diseases specialist and author of âPreventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-Science.â
Anti-vaccine groups have falsely claimed for decades that childhood vaccines cause autism, weaving fantastic conspiracy theories involving government, Big Business and the media.
Now, the same groups are blaming patientsâ coincidental medical problems on COVID-19 shots, even when itâs clear that age or underlying health conditions are to blame, Hotez said. âThey will sensationalize anything that happens after someone gets a vaccine and attribute it to the vaccine,â Hotez said.
Statistics show thousands of Minnesotans will die after getting the COVID vaccine but not because of it
The challenge for public health officials is to avoid even a few of those inevitable deaths being seized upon as evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous, or even killers.

AM Minnesota Grain Marketing Specialist Ed Usset
Be sure to listen to Tuesday s AM Minnesota Program with Ed Usset who is a Grain Marketing Specialist with the University of Minnesota s Center for Farm Financial Management. We were talking about many farmers with sellers remorse having sold too much grain too early and missed out on much of this big rally. Ed said later on last summer he predicted that corn and beans would rally into fall. He put it in a column that were in a couple of different publications. However, he was thinking of a rally in corn and beans of 5 or 10 percent, not 50 percent or more!
