I just got a call and Monday I will get a Covid-19 vaccination or a placebo. Wish me luck. I hope I get the actual vaccination.

People like you are the final step to validate the science. A vaccine cannot be validated without people like you!

I actually get the vaccine and not just the placebo. She said I have a 50% chance of getting the vaccine.

They see if the group getting the real vaccine gets sick at a lesser rate than the placebo group. I pray it works and hope you got the real thing. Either way you are doing so.ething very selfless to help others.
