I mean, it's great that the vaccine is taking and that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but marking it like a national holiday feels so cloying. The more pressing matter will be "celebrating" the end of Covid when the moratorium on back rent will end, and 30-60 million peoples' lives are going to take a nosedive.
Bleak future.
I just remember that bit from I think the Tim Heidecker episode of chapo (where they talk about the mypillow guy) talking making fun of trump wanting to end covid by Thanksgiving or maybe Christmas. And Tim doing the impression saying “I just think it’d be really great if we ended covid by Valentine’s Day next year, and we could all get back to kissing. Wouldn’t that be nice, wouldn’t that really be something?”
It’s great how it’s the same shit it’s just not the funny orange man doing it any more.
So what's the chance that new vaccine resistant strains fuck this up before August?
Love too celebrate ending a disease with a higher body count than WW2 entirely because of our own ineptitude and greed, drastically out of proportion with results other countries were able to accomplish
