For Dr. Robert Goldberg, the arrival of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is the ray of sunshine in a dark storm.
Goldberg, a pulmonologist and critical care physician at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, said that he and other healthcare workers have been waiting for so long. There’d been highs and lows during the course of the pandemic. At its start this spring, there’d been worries that the hospital might be busy and overrun with patients.
Then, cases seemed to decrease until they didn’t.
The last few weeks have seen cases skyrocket in Orange County, which Goldberg said seemed to reach points higher than in March and April. But though it will be some time before the general public will be vaccinated, Goldberg thinks the arrival of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is a start to fighting back against the pandemic.
