Vaccines and antibiotics never once saved my life.

The fact that I never had to eat rotten food or drink shit-contaminated water have saved my life countless times.

Don't thank doctors. Thank your engineers.

Has your life been saved?

I don't know. I'm still alive and took antibiotics, which cleared up my infected tooth almost immediately.

I was also bitten by a tick in South America that I didn't notice until it was bloated with blood. A red ring developed around the bite days later. It went away with doxycycline. That was almost surely early lyme disease that I knocked out with doxy.

It's also cleared a few other nasty infections, especially sinus infections. Those were likely not fatal, but I'm glad I had antibiotics around.

I still have all the signs of life.

I breath, I have a heartbeat, I am warm to the touch.

But when I think, I don't think like a human would.

It is more like a reptile,

I need to eat. I need to find shelter. I need to bask in the Sun.

I exist, but for nothing at all.

I am here, because someone made me be here.
