Pandēmija no mums šogad ir daudz ko paņēmusi. Gluži neticami, ka vēl 2020.gadā varam sākt mērķētu prettriecienu! pic.twitter.com/3fJ2LXcBJd

Today the first Europeans are getting vaccinated against #COVID19. I'm touched to see people taking the vaccine everywhere across the EU. From Madrid to Paris, Athens to Riga.
