From my FB post today:
The US has the safest vaccine history in the world.
So ready to see the devastating effects of this virus on patients, families and our world be a thing of the past.
When you are eligible and the vaccine is available, I strongly encourage everyone to receive it. I spent weeks reading and researching before choosing to receive it. And by “research,” I don’t mean YouTube videos but actual clinical trial documents, NIH studies and FDA reports.
Trust me, the vaccine is FAR safer than you taking your chance with COVID.
Doing my part to protect myself, my family, my friends and coworkers as well as my neighbors. Hope you will do the same.
Actually a bit tearful this afternoon thinking about a future where this (expletive deleted) virus will just be a bad memory. God help us to get there quickly.
I am just so tired of seeing so much suffering and death.
I have my own issues with PTSD from all my years working ICU and all I saw. But that pales to what this virus is doing to the ICU nurses and MDs working in this.
Anything that we can do to help them, we must do.
