thank you everyone who made this possible–the scientists, the study participants, the staff, everyone–such a privilege to be able to get my vaccine so I can stay healthy to help people when they’re sick
iPhone shuffle mix on the ride home:
Take on me (in a week)
Hard to handle (expecting a sore arm)
happenings 10 years time ago (decades of vaccine research)
Praise you (who did the work to get us here)
Fever pitch (vaccine aches)
We can work it out (we’ll get through this)
1/2
Pinch me (it’s all so surreal)
Back in black (for dose #2)
Bring it on home (immunity, not virus)
thank you (all of you)
Under pressure (all of us)
Broken (so many of us)
Ants marching (to get our shots)
2/2
me: just driving back from the suburbs after I got my shop, listening to music, thinking about the pandemic and everything and welling up

it’s getting real. resident pulled away to conference (but comes back smarter!) and PP CP SOB in resus while I’m solo. bunch of new patients but fortunately my med student is good
I will get vaccinated as soon as I can, which, as an ER doc, will be "soon"
the data we have is very good & very reassuring. I suspect the pfizer data will be published soon, but the fact that they prioritized the EUA, knowing the FDA would release it as part of the process, seems reasonable
