NY ICU nurse becomes first American to receive COVID-19 vaccine live on air as Trump tweets 'Congratulations USA!' {VIDEO}

First Americans receive COVID-19 vaccine

New York ICU nurse Sandra Lindsay was the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in America this morning
The first of the vaccinations were administered on a day where the COVID-19 death toll was due to surpass 300,000 and cases and hospitalizations posted new record highs
President Trump tweeted: 'First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!'
Shipments of the frozen vaccine vials began arriving at hospitals around the country Monday so health care workers can receive the shots
The first 2.9 million doses began to be shipped to distribution centers around the country on Sunday from Pfizer's manufacturing plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Seven-day rolling average for deaths is now just over 2,400 per day and average daily cases are at 213,000. Hospitalizations climbed to a record 109,331 yesterday
The death toll across the country is now at 299,163 and infections are now at more than 16.25 million

The largest vaccination campaign in US history is now underway with an intensive care nurse in New York becoming the first to receive a COVID-19 shot this morning as the death toll from the virus neared 300,000.

Sandra Lindsay received the Pfizer shot at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens just before 9.30am this morning during a livestream with New York Gov Andrew Cuomo.

'It didn't feel any different from taking any other vaccine,' Lindsay said. 'I feel hopeful today, relieved. I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history. I want to instill public confidence that the vaccine is safe.'

Comment by Al3x on December 14, 2020 at 8:18pm: Well said Tyrone!

Comment by Tyrone on December 14, 2020 at 7:24pm: Well first off I'm truly sorry for your lost. However, why do we have to be trolls? Because we're not buying the narrative that a COLD is causing a worldwide panic. You, my friend are not doing your homework, and everything the ambiguous "they" tell you, you believe. If you've ever had a cold in your life, you had covid. Covid isn't anything new, that's the narrative they're using to get the sheep to fall in line to do whatever "they" say to do. Even the CDC on their website tells us the mask doesn't stop anything. If this was so bad, then the mask you wear, every-time you take it off, it should be disposed of in a biohazard waste bin, not the garbage. Intelligent doctors that have lost their jobs and have been silenced for telling people wearing a mask the way the elite are telling us to wear a mask is unhealthy. You are breathing in your own exhaust (carbon dioxide) which is harmful to your health. But some of us believe everything the idiot box (tv) and the lying media tells us. Gee, no one is dying anymore from cancer? Everything is now covid. They have been lying to us for a long time, and Covid-19 is the implementation tool to enslave most of us deeper into s***. This is a reset on a global scale. The American economy along with the world is now resetting everything. It's amazing the big companies like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Best Buy have all been operating, but all the little businesses are being stomped out, and most of them are forced to close. Have you heard of the President of Tanzania who submitted samples of a GOAT, a PAPAYA and MOTOR OIL to be tested for COVID........guess what, they all came back positive. The president of Tanzania then publicly denounced the WHO (World Health Organization) showing that it's the biggest scam in modern history and wanted no part of the nonsense. Have you heard of a young man that was shot and brought to the emergency room who later died and was listed as "death by Covid". How about all the elderly in these nursing homes that were murdered only for a story of them dying of COVID? Separating loved ones from their elderly. The elderly are vulnerable and weak, in this country, we put our elderly in nursing homes expecting someone else to care for them, unlike other cultures where elderly die at home with their loved one. So @D.Hall before you start using the "TROLL" comment, you need to do extensive research. What the elite want, they produce any number to give to you, to suit their agenda. If you think a vaccine is good, then hey take it. But no one is going to shoot me with Aluminum, Mercury, Aborted Fetuses, Feces, Formaldehyde, Swine, and all other things that will kill you. These bastards have been doing the same old thing over and over......It's called the Hegelian dialectic - Problem / Reaction / Solution - Step 1 They create the problem Step 2 They wait for the cry of the people demanding that government does something Step 3 They present a solution. Again, I'm sorry for your lost, but wake up man, more people die from the flu every year than any damn covid. If you go on the CDC's website they give you the numbers of deaths from flu. The problem with our people, we believe anything. There's this old saying, "If you want to hide something from black people, put it in a book, they don't read". I'm no doctor, but any a****** that tells me to put a disease, bacteria, or any harmful agent in my body to build an immune to it is a F****** IDIOT. The human body was designed to fight infections. Eating healthy foods and nutrients, exercise and other good measures allows the body to heal itself. That's why god gave us herbs. These wicked mofos make medicine that have 3 million side effects and people are becoming worst. Wake up man and cut the Troll stuff. They're killing us, making us turn on each other while they look on and laugh. Simple remedies......ginger, garlic, onions, cayenne pepper, lemons, honey (organic), and the list goes on and on and people wouldn't have to be afraid of any COVID. If these m************ haven't cured a common cold, why should I believe they have some miracle vaccine for their PLANDEMIC? Peace out Mr. D. Hall.

Comment by D. Hall on December 14, 2020 at 3:59pm: I wish you trolls would get off this forum. There are over 300,000 people dead in this country. 10

of them are my family and friends. The stupidity needs to stop.

Comment by Tyrone on December 14, 2020 at 3:58pm: @Roderiq Jay...........you made a great point.

Comment by Roderiq Jay on December 14, 2020 at 3:34pm: She took the oath so that makes her one of 'them'. We don't know if that's saline solution she's getting injected with to make it appear as though she's taking the vaccine. More of a sign denoting who they're looking to target .

Comment by Tyrone on December 14, 2020 at 3:07pm: And as usual they use a black woman as a guinea pig so other black people can take this cocktail and end up dead. Did anyone hear of the 100 people in London that were paid to take the vaccine and now they're dead? Did anyone see the four people in this country that took the Pfizer vaccine and they developed Bell's Palsy? Bell's Palsy looks as if the person had a stroke where one side of the face droops. Man, these folks are trying to kill us. And what's amazing is if you try finding some of these articles on Google, you won't. Google is seriously censored. You have to use other web browsers.
