Univision just did a segment about my mother-in-law getting her vaccine. She has been cleaning COVID wards and is a rockstar. (cc @ratemyskyperoom)
I obviously can't verify this, but they told her she's the first Peruvian to receive the vaccine. ¡Arriba Peru! 🇵🇪
Here's her story, which is apparently still going viral in Spanish language media google.com/amp/s/news.yah…
She is telling us that some of the hospital workers didn't want their vaccines but they went after she did and she told them all the info she had about how it's safe and effective. Spreading the word and leading by example makes a difference!

As you all might imagine, I have some thoughts about this comment that I am doing nothing "from the safety" of a "DC apartment." Let me break this all down for you Robert.
I have spent this entire pandemic going out and reporting to help ask questions and keep people informed. This includes today when I went to cover Joe Biden in Delaware and actually was exposed to COVID in the process.
Along with working from inside the White House, covering COVID in the South Bronx, and at least three other states I have traveled to, I led two fundraisers that generated thousands for people in need.
Rush Limbaugh is on the radio right now outlining a "longshot" scenario where Republican members of Congress could give the election to Trump on Wednesday. He's criticizing McConnell for "begging" senators not to do this.
Rush is now accusing Hillary Clinton of trying to block the electoral certification in 2016, which is not a thing that happened.
Rush is now completely mischaracterizing the state delegation numbers. This broadcast is filled with false information and advocating for an undemocratic coup. Can you imagine using the final chapter of your life for this sort of thing?
MF DOOM is really one of my favorite musicians. Do yourself a favor and put on his special herbs instrumentals if you've never heard them. Just the best.
MF DOOM is sort of beyond top five. His rhymes were incredible and his style so singular, but he was also an amazing producer.
There's an important and serious point to make here. We are witnessing an authoritarian attempt to undermine the democratic process by falsely challenging this election. It has not worked.
The safeguards our democracy has in place from the poll workers and state officials from both parties and the media have stood up strongly against these false attempts to subvert the election.
This is something people of all views should be proud of. That being said, this attempt was uniquely hamfisted. A future effort to reject an American election could be more sophisticated.
I am now going to livetweet @RudyGiuliani's election "analysis" video. It's part of the "Rudy's Common Sense" broadcasts he's been doing on Youtube. Join me for this adventure!
Rudy's election analysis video has ads, so he is profiting from all this.
In case you want to dive in to the messy questions surrounding how Rudy is (or isn't) paid for his Trump legal work, here's a deep dive on it that @nycsouthpaw and I wrote. google.com/amp/s/news.yah…
A former Trump adviser tells me Rudy Giuliani was driving the strategy of declaring premature victory since his "principle is possession is 99% of ownership."
The former Trump adviser said Pam Bondi, Corey Lewandowski and Rudy Giuliani are "literally the wrong team" to have in front of legal challenges since "it makes it lack credibility."
The former adviser said Trump is relying the trio of Bondi, Lewandowski, and Giuliani since he implicitly trusts their loyalty. "He knows those guys never fucking leak and if they do leak it's never to make him look bad," the ex-adviser said.
