Vaccination, Immunity Through Pain

Roxanne Jones: I wanted to ask you to read vaccination, and if you could also just tell me first a little bit about when you wrote this. This is actually a very, very recent poem, and was inspired by the story of one of my patients who had his sister dying of covid. So that resignated with some of my own experiences in caring for patience and feeling tat distance in wanting to get through it. And so instead, we busily made quilts, dreams, supposedly, or grief betrayed us to ourselves and let us hope again.
