Sandra Lindsay immigrated to the U.S. from Jamaica when she was 18 years old. Now, she's going down in history for her role in the fight against COVID-19.

President Biden announced on Friday that Lindsay, who was the first person in the nation to receive a COVID-19 vaccine after the FDA authorized its use in December, will have her hospital scrubs, vaccination card and the badge she wore on the day she received her first dose displayed at the COVID-19 exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

She was also awarded the "Outstanding American by Choice" award from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which recognizes naturalized citizens who have made "significant contributions to our country," Mr. Biden said, adding that she "represented the very best of us all."

1. What a difference who gets recognition by this president compared to the last

Who gave Rush Limbaugh a medal of freedom and pardoned a murderous military sadist. You go Joe!

7. I pitched the Smithsonian an exhibit idea

Of an exhibit with our resident self proclaimed, pseudo Covid and statistical experts. It was just going to be a bunch of scared emojis, links to fear porn and a collection of poorly disguised, gleeful posts about the proliferation of the Delta variant.
