That's really amazing. As a nurse, I'm very proud of your wife for contributing to the advancement of treatments for all patients. I know that study didn't require her to risk anything, but I still think she's a hero. Participation in clinical trials is so helpful

I would understand if she had said no to a second needle jab that day :)

She is also participating in the monitored rollout of a new COVID vaccine variant so she’s made somewhat of a habit out of this. I’m proud of her too!
