Runtime: 1 hr 59 min 

Sawbones: Operation Warp Speed- Dr. Sydnee McElroy and Justin McElroy discuss the vaccine, why it was able to be created so fast, and what it means for the general public.

Tik Tok: Yes, tik tok. don’t make fun of me.

if no one that has an appointment shows up 30 minutes past 8pm you get one of the vaccines

to save the dose from the trash

i waited

"come over

must be your lucky day

7000 were vaccinated here today and only one vial left

this vial is yours"

it was my choice to save a dose from going to waste

after the observation period walking west to my car

facing the sun as it sets behind this midwestern urban landscape

...and you show up

you cannot be this cruel

i want to believe you did not create this to punish anyone

i want to believe no other human created this to fuck us all up

it was just a very unlikely thing

and the unlikely happened

tell me that your heart is aching for us

tell me that this makes you cry

are you proud?

we came together

the scientists created more than one vaccine

we are getting there

no one can be this cruel

right?
