The state/county keep changing the priorities around here – with not as much vaccine as there are people wanting it. Some days the high risk old & infirm are the termed the highest priority, some days health care workers, and some days emergency responders (police & fire). How do you call it? A good case can be made for any of them. (And, of course, there are the wealthy insisting they should be first in line.) Local community forum has people saying, “There’s vaccine available at this site – only a 300 mile drive!”
Hopefully now that we have a sane leader, he will try to straighten the mess out. But it will take longer than he promises, I fear, which the opposition will start harping on!! They will blame him for the whole mess that he inherited, like they take credit for all the good stuff the previous leader did. They are masters at it and their minions lap it up!
Media and politicians have lied so much they no longer have ANY credibility. They CERTAINLY don’t have the people’s interest at heart. The dystopian nightmare we are experiencing now is only going to get worse. Well, at least the overpopulation problem will be solved, and that in turn may solve accelerated anthropomorphic Climate Change! See? There’s a bright side to everything!
Today’s strip shows that the women aboard the R. U. Sirius get to wear nifty kneeboots, while the guys wear pants cinched at the ankle. Where’s the justice, I ask you? Space Guys for Cool Boots, unite and arise!
The problem is having qualified people giving the injections and watching to make sure you don’t suffer a massive allergic reaction. It’s rare but it happens. You can’t just stick a needle anywhere in a person’s arm without doing damage to arteries or nerves. I have a permanent ache in one elbow from a blood sample needle that struck a nerve.
So, where are the qualified people? They are very, very busy trying to keep folks with COVID-19 from dying.

We’ll all scream when Dr. Mell administers the vaccine, anyway.

This is the way to go if you want everybody to take the vaccine, and you need to keep it cold!

Oddly enough, with all the media hype, this isn’t too far from the truth.

Never in my life would I have expected that for the prior year a certain subset of people would effectively be demanding to be bitten by a zombie.

Politics aside, “We all scream for vaccine” is really clever.
