@GottaLaff "Nothing personal, just working the room" :)

@MikeBon @GottaLaff

That line was brilliant. Doonesbury should get the Nobel for literature for that one. Layered. Textured. Delicious.

@GottaLaff This was a brilliant strip. Trudeau is as sharp as ever.
@petep44 Heโ€™s fantastic.
@GottaLaff
And the return of those shades. Just needs the cigarette holder.
@GottaLaff Great take! Harkens back to an old panel in which an Evangelical was given a choice of either prayer or an experimental treatment to possibly cure his cancer. MD told him the difference between the two was intelligent design. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@GottaLaff and no one in the room appears to be masked -_-
@GottaLaff Having read the comments, all I can say is "well, so much for satire, then." Where's Foghorn Leghorn when we need him?

@GottaLaff @Iragersh

Itโ€™s a pretty good comic.

I tried to get my kids vaccinated at their annual checkup. Pediatrician said they would not ever be stocking the Covid vaccine because itโ€™s too expensive for an independent practice like theirs. Ditto for the new RSV vaccine.

And unlike the flu shot where the university vaccinated en masseโ€” youโ€™ve got to make separate appointments for the Covid vaccine. Bc $

Maybe Pfizer and Moderna et al should not have got to keep the rights to this vax.

@atthenius I got all of those at Costco. Whenever and however I wanted them. @Iragersh

@GottaLaff @Iragersh

Thatโ€™s great. And the expansion of vaccines at Big pharmacies is something that has gotten better through covid.

But itโ€™s still weird not being able to get vaccines from your own physician.

@GottaLaff Good Grief! No wonder you get frustrated with people who will argue over a comic.

@GottaLaff

Ah, as a retired Infection Preventionist, that cartoon warmed the cockles of my heart.

Not just Covid. I spent 20 years trying to convince adults that a virus was going to just virus, regardless of the belief system or science literacy of its victims.

@Edelruth Because you rock.

It is SO frustrating to see people ignore simple science.

@GottaLaff

I am going to cherish that affirmation. Thank you.
