ANN ARBOR (WXYZ) â I was actually the first person here at the university to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, said Survival Flight registered nurse Johnnie Peoples outside Michigan Medicine Monday afternoon. It wasn t painful at all.
Peoples said he s done his research on the vaccine and is confident in its safety. I m grateful even more than being excited just to receive the vaccine, he said. Just to feel better about staying healthy. Just to be able to go home after work maybe feeling a little more comfortable than I did before. My wife is immunocompromised. My elderly mother is living with us right now.
A little boy in China has cheated death after an eight-inch chopstick spiked through his throat in an accident.
The two-year-old, nicknamed Lin Lin, was eating an apple on the wooden stick while riding a bicycle when he lost balance and fell onto the utensil, reported local media.
The chopstick rammed through Lin Lin s throat and got stuck there. It was said to be lodged in Lin Lin s neck so deep that doctors could see it protruding at the back of his neck under his skin.
