I was glad for the Moderna based upon less opportunity for error... The Pfizer to me has more potential for storage errors, defrosting/compounding error and most of all it only is good for 6 hours...Rumor has it they are trying to squeeze out an extra dose...well, then say they leave that extra dose sitting out...could very well degrade...I know how medication compounding error can happen...so, I just felt more comfortable with Moderna...can be stored at regular refrigeration, longer shelf life...

I am overall thrilled I got this proactive step started...It is 24/7 in my mind of covid-19 protocols for 10 months...I have seen many suffer, some died...so, I welcome this vaccine...yea, its early to tell if it is effective overall...but, I stepped up to the plate.

Most of all I am so F*%cking sick of the no maskers...I run into them every day...in public areas like gas station, grocery store...you know how they act when you ask them where is your mask? I offer to give them one as I carry several surgical masks in a baggie...I ask them, where have you been for 10 months? I see the effects on our friends, families, our communities daily...this virus is vicious and deadly....I need to be there for patients/ you risk my life right now by not doing the minimum required to go into the public, wear a damn mask......their non compliance is why we have such a petri dish of covid-19 in the USA....
