MMR, measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine.




 If you have this scar, you're part of a very large club. 


Do you know which childhood vaccine caused it and why it stays for life? 🤔


This is the former BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine for TB (tuberculosis).


This vaccine is usually given to babies in many countries (including Indonesia, India, and other developing countries) to prevent severe forms of TB in children such as TB meningitis or millionnaire TB.


How it works: This vaccine is injected into the skin (intradermal) on the upper arm, usually using a small needle that makes “many points”. The normal reaction: a lump appears, then blisters, scabs, and finally heals into a small round scar (like in the photo) that is permanent. The scars remain for life because it is a sign that the vaccine has successfully triggered the immune response in the skin.


It’s not a smallpox vaccine, even though the shape of the scars is similar. Smallpox vaccine has rarely been used since the eradication of smallpox in the 1980s. BCG is still widely used until now.


Do you have it too? 


There are so many who have it, including me. 😊 In Nigerian, this is part of the standard baby immunisation.


Anyone else checking their arm right now?

THE IMPORTANCE AND POWER OF COMMUNICATION

Image
Communicating Is One Thing, But Your Tone While Communicating Is Everything Introduction: The Invisible Force That Shapes Human Destiny There are people who possess intelligence but cannot express it.  There are people with opportunities standing before them, yet they lose them with a single conversation.  There are relationships that did not die because love disappeared, but because communication collapsed.  There are nations at war because understanding failed.  There are homes filled with silence because words became weapons instead of bridges. Humanity survives on communication. The world moves by communication. Leadership depends on communication. Businesses rise through communication. Marriages survive through communication. Friendships flourish through communication. Influence is impossible without communication. Yet one of the greatest tragedies of life is this: many people speak, but very few truly communicate. Communication is not merely the movement of wor...

HOW TO IDENTIFY HIGH IQ PEOPLE

Image
  HOW TO IDENTIFY HIGH IQ PEOPLE: They often have strong intuition and can “sense” people’s intentions and character early in interactions. They ask thoughtful, deep, and meaningful questions rather than surface-level ones. They tend to have a small circle of friends because they value depth over quantity in relationships. They enjoy reading and learning as a way to expand their thinking and understanding of the world. They are often more observant and quieter, preferring to listen and analyze before speaking. They usually avoid unnecessary conflicts and prefer peace over being right. They are aware of how much they don’t know, which keeps them open to learning. They frequently question systems, rules, and assumptions to identify gaps, flaws, or improvements. They enjoy solving complex problems and thinking in patterns rather than isolated facts. They are highly self-reflective and often analyze their own thoughts, behavior, and decisions. They can connect ideas from different fiel...

YOU ARE AMAZING

Image
Listen to me very carefully. Not as a crowd. Not as a group. Not as “people.” But as you—the one reading this right now. Yes, you. You are amazing. Not because everything in your life is perfect. Not because everything is working out smoothly. Not because you have it all figured out. But because despite everything you have been through, despite what people said, despite what didn’t work, despite the nights you questioned yourself… you are still here. Still breathing. Still thinking. Still trying. Still becoming. That alone is proof that something powerful lives inside you. And I need you to understand this deeply—not emotionally, not temporarily, but permanently: You are not ordinary. YOU HAVE BEEN UNDERESTIMATED, BUT NEVER UNDEFINED Let me tell you something that might sound uncomfortable but true: People may have misjudged you. They may have looked at your current situation and assumed your future. They may have seen your struggles and mistaken them for your identity. But hear this c...
