covid vaccinations!

With help from Calvin's pediatrician and the nurses at our local vaccination clinic, Calvin, Michael and I were given three leftover doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine last Friday evening. As usual when receiving vaccines, Calvin was a star, and even (mostly) kept his surgical masks on. As rain fell on our faces when leaving the clinic, I felt a wave of relief come over me.

I posted the good news on Facebook and received an outpouring of support from over 350 friends and strangers—many who follow my blog—plus over 100 loving comments. There was only one unknown person who voiced his opinion, using expletives to dis so-called Pharma poisons, told me not to be a lab rat and then wished me good luck. He went on to say something to the effect that only sheeple choose to be vaccinated. I told him not to be a troll and added:

sheeple also drive on the right side of the street for a reason.

If not for the efforts of several compassionate health professionals, Calvin would not have gotten his vaccine until sometime in late April. Now, all three of us will achieve maximum immunity by the first of May and, as a result, will be able to get back to at least a few of life's pleasures like hugs, face-to-face encounters, and having small dinner parties with other vaccinated people. For this I am most grateful.
