Yesterday afternoon, Lisa and I went to Walgreens and got our flu shots and COVID boosters. That's our seventh COVID shot, by my count. As I'm going to SMOFCon at the start of December, I wanted to have time for the immunizations to settle in before then.
There's another reason: If Glorious Orange Dictator decides to put RFK Jr. in charge of healthcare (which does seem plausible), he'll surely immediately move to ban all vaccinations of any sort, just like he'll stop water fluoridation and probably every other sort of preventative medicine, and maybe even all medical treatment whatsoever (except for wealthy, powerful people who have sworn to obey Glorious Leader; laws don't apply to them). After all, what's wrong with a bunch of people dying and the average lifespan of Americans plummeting. It's all for the Greater Glory of Trumplandia, right? Bring on the Rapture!
