It is the dance of deliverance and these images are good to see. In Boston (United States), hospital staff improvised a little dance to celebrate the arrival of anti-Covid vaccines.
Shared on social networks, the video of their swaying – executed in the rules of the art while respecting the sanitary distance – immediately made the buzz.
To the tune of the song “Good as Hell” by artist Lizzo (title that could be translated in view of the context in French as: “J’ai une santé d’enfer”) the employees of the Boston Medical Center thus resumed the words which, while the United States started their vaccination campaign on Monday, December 14, take a singular turn.
“All these struggles, these long nights that I had to endure”
There is this passage, in particular: “All these struggles, these long nights that I had to endure” which recalls how the caregivers were severely tested.
The dance serves as a real outlet here, a way to let go, at least for a while, because the anti-Covid vaccines carry immense hopes to finally deliver a drastic blow to the epidemic.

The United States is indeed one of the most bereaved countries in the world by the coronavirus and recently crossed the symbolic threshold of 300,000 deaths.
“This dance was not made to make me cry, but I sob and it feels good”, a caregiver told the American media BuzzFeed.News. Proof, if there was one, that the last few weeks have been particularly trying, akin to a constant struggle in the face of disease and death.
Following the method adopted by most countries, the United States has chosen to first vaccinate healthcare workers and the most vulnerable citizens.

Kate Walsh, the hospital director who also posted the video online, said, “Why do I love my job at Boston Medical Center so much? Because my staff is made up of wonderful people who do their utmost to distribute the vaccine against the Covid to all their colleagues in a safe and equitable manner ”.
It is well worth a little dance because since the dawn of time it is one of the best ways to celebrate life.
