It reads like someone took one of my father’s rants from my childhood memories and changed the subject from my mom’s credit card debt to covid vaccine hesitancy.

I mean yeah…this is funny and all, but:

or you still have the opportunity to get the vaccine against COVID-19.

Not exactly. My brother, living in Costa Rica, has enough money to be able to fly to the US so that he and his family could get their first, and then second, doses. But, much of the country is still waiting to get the vaccines.

We still have a long way to go.

Fucking fuck 'em and fucking fuck it, too.

Ugh. I have a relative that is vaccinated. They are afraid of the side effects of the vaccine and think that getting Covid (and risking death) gives better immunity, but they don’t have an explanation for why hospitals are filled to the gills with unvaccinated people dying of Covid and not filled with people dying of vaccine side effects.

Sigh… Definitely still need to avoid superspreading family gatherings like thanksgiving.

Well, I got the fucking vaccine. Five fucking months ago. So did everyone in my family. So now can I put the fucking coronavirus in my fucking rear view mirror?

This article offends me in its scientific inaccuracy: the piranha is a freshwater fish!

Might be in your blind spot instead of your rearview mirror… :thinking:

The breakthrough rate with Delta is significant. Even “mild” covid sucks. So the reduced hospitalization and death is great, but I’d prefer not to get Covid at all.

I would love to have sat in on the editing process for this piece:

" ‘Fucking fuck fuck fuck’ seems a little harsh. Could we change it to ‘Fucking fuck fuck’ instead?"
