Watch this incredibly wholesome interview with a British man who just got the coronavirus vaccine
The United Kingdom began rolling out the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, inoculating the first people in the world outside clinical trials. The incredibly significant moment could well be remembered as a crucial historical event, but Martin Kenyon, a 91-year-old British man who received his first dose Tuesday, wasn't too bothered by the whole thing.
Stopped on the street outside a London hospital by a CNN crew, Kenyon revealed that he had indeed just been vaccinated and matter-of-factly stated that he simply called up the hospital, asked if they were injecting folks, and made an appointment. It was over and done with soon after, and Kenyon described the process as quick and painless.
When asked how he felt about being one of the first people in the world to receive the vaccine, he said he doesn't think he feels "about it at all, except that I hope I'm not going to have the bloody bug now."
Following the quick television spot, Kenyon headed home to tell his family, who weren't aware of his spur-of-the-moment decision, the news. Watch the full clip below.
