got my vaccine today & as I was waiting in line, looking around at the school gym filled with folding chairs, I was overcome with emotion. my heart swelled with pride at what we pulled together in this timeframe & it nearly brought tears to my eyes. made me think of this XKCD

yeah it hasn't been anywhere near perfect & there's been horrendous amounts of mismanagement of the pandemic. but the development & deployment of the vaccine has been truly something to behold, and I'm so proud of us as a species
I got the shot itself while sitting at a school cafeteria table next to a nurse, surrounded by many other people at many other tables. not in a doctor's office. there's something strangely beautiful about that.
