We are so fortunate that there were so many scientists working on the vaccine problem and were able to produce something that works just in the nick of time.

2. Oh, thanks for the article! We all need to know the actual facts on all this

Particularly if we're confronted with ignorant nut jobs (I have been). And I was interested since I got the Moderna, only because it was the first vaccine available to me. But I was kinda tickled to learn that Dr. Fauci got the Moderna, too! And now Lawrence O'Donnell!

3. Me, too. Moderna all the way! Double vaxed and boosted too. ❤

And despite the fact that I'm awfully pale, I didn't encounter any lines anywhere!
