Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
Congratulations once again to all of our 2026 Athletic Trainer of the Year winners!
We now look forward to honoring the overall Secondary School Athletic Trainer of the Year at the SSATC Town Hall during NATA 2026 in Philadelphia! We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you. 🏆
@morris_atc Do kids just get athletic packets for free? Schools out here charge for that paperwork and still do not host mass physicals here. Usually like $25 or something
“I don’t know how many summers and Christmases I have left with my parents…”

Happy School Nurse’s Day!
I have been working side by side with nurses and still can only scratch the surface with my knowledge of everything they do for their schools. They are an essential member of every healthcare team.
