I see your worthy debate on this. I, me, Grace Helene, an old woman with no degrees in science, have carefully, every day read about this vaccine journey, I read about it from valid sources in newspapers and I heard first hand from a person who was involved in the clinical trials and I watched when the trials were stopped and saw them start again and I know that Pfizer and Moderna have the ability to protect us more than 90% and Astra Zenica is lower, but more than 70%. I know that one vaccine was tested with more than 70,000 in the test group. Some got the vaccine and some got placebos.

I watched when people gathered here in a large group and wondered if infection would increase afterward and it appeared not to. I have had a million questions and tried to find the answers from science. I was very frustrated that there were so many to me foolish arguments and unfounded conspiracy figures.

I have tried to separate what is really happening from what people are telling us is happening.

I hope they get it here fast and refrigerate it carefully and that someone will invite us three to be vaccinated. Soon.

That is what I want for Christmas.
