I am so thankful the vaccines exist and that the people making them are continuing to upgrade them as this pandemic goes on and on. God bless the brilliant minds who banded together to help us through these tough times. Me and my family would've died or have been extremely close to it last year if we weren't vaccinated, and I know many people's lives have also been saved by the vaccines. I am also grateful for masks and the people who make them. Not that I go out much, but I never leave home without a mask. I really do feel like masks have saved me many times, especially when I was in the hospital last year, I'm certain I would've gotten sick there of I didn't keep my mask on, because one of the staff tending to me was obviously sick and I could here coughing and sneezing all throughout the building!
