Me, waiting in an overcrowded pharmacy for my #COVID19 booster
Woman of Color (#WOC) in front of me: It is NOT safe to have this many people in one place!
Me: I hear you. This is not COVID-19 safe at all. I'm here for my booster.
WOC: Wait, I have some questions about that.
Me: I work in medicine. Maybe I can help.
Her: See, what I don't understand is: why are there two shots?
Me: Yeah, fair. This kind of virus confuses your body, so the first time your body sees it, it is CONFUSED.
