1
00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:02.520
<v 0>We knew it was a relatively safe vaccine.</v>

2
00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:06.330
And so I felt very comfortable getting the vaccine and being the first person to

3
00:00:06.330 --> 00:00:08.790
get it. And it went smoothly, but I didn't feel anything.

4
00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:11.190
I didn't feel the needle go in. It was not cold.

5
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:12.720
I didn't feel anything anywhere else.

6
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.380
It felt like any type of vaccine that I've ever received before.

7
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:20.040
And if we can get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible,

8
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:24.810
I think this will help end this infection and end this pandemic.

9
00:00:25.130 --> 00:00:26.930
<v 1>We're able to get, you know, the thousand,</v>

10
00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.850
almost a thousand doses for West Midtown and Rutherford in our three largest

11
00:00:31.850 --> 00:00:33.020
facilities. Consequently,

12
00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:36.230
we're going to be vaccinating quite a few people over the next several days,

13
00:00:36.230 --> 00:00:38.720
frontline caregivers. And that's, that's wonderful.

14
00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:43.520
This whole pandemic has been incredibly politicized and there's all kinds of

15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.860
skepticism out there for all kinds of reasons.

16
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:50.120
But the bottom line is this is probably one of the safest vaccines we've ever

17
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.980
had in terms of the way it's distributed. But I mean,

18
00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:56.270
it truly is a designer of vaccine, if you will. And so do not be afraid of it.

19
00:00:56.330 --> 00:01:00.500
It's been given to thousands of thousands of individuals and has a great safety

20
00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:02.360
profile. And most importantly, it works.

21
00:01:02.630 --> 00:01:05.480
<v 0>This gives us a little bit of hope.</v>

22
00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:07.880
We can see the light at the end of the tunnel with this.

23
00:01:08.150 --> 00:01:11.300
<v 1>I would take my chances on the backseat any day versus taking my chances with</v>

24
00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:11.630
COVID.
