The arrival of the first vaccination shots brought a wave of relief

Rep. Lou Correa: "The arrival of the first vaccination shots brought a wave of relief, a hope that many lives will be spared from such a horrible and tragic death. And I heard from friends how relieved they were when they actually got the vaccine. The vaccines were not a cure all but they vastly improved America's chances of survival. We should not make the perfect the enemy of the good...During the pandemic Americans were told by some doctors to take ivermectin, the drug used to kill parasites, or hydroxychloroquine even if there became clear that they provided no benefits. Some also suggested exploring remedies like injecting bleach or inhaling hydrogen peroxide and people were falsely told that were unsafe, ineffective, caused infertility and would increase the likelihood of their deaths or kill them. Fortunately most Americans didn't listen to this misinformation."
