It’s OK, though, because everyone’s been vaccinated. Right?

Would you happen to be making a reference to the children’s song “Ring Around the Rosie” (in the past, erroneously thought to be about the Black Death)?

If not, it still works! :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s still not how vaccines work.

And besides which, routine vaccination hasn’t happened in the US since 1972 - when, you know, the disease was eradicated. Plus, this one was only known to protect you for up to 5 years.

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They blew him up very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

[sorry, Nat]
