As an 'at-risk senior' I've been given an appointment to get the booster shot for the Pfizer vaccine this Friday evening. I'm acutely aware of my food fortune in this, and was feeling pretty good about the situation until half an hour ago. That was when I read Vikram Khanna's blisteringly good piece in today's Straits Times on vaccine inequity.
Now I feel very guilty as well as very fortunate. It's an uneasy combination.
Addendum: Why did I write food fortune above? I was going to edit, but I enjoyed the phrase too much to obliterate it from consciousness.
