That’s what “they” want you to think.

I got my first dose 3 days ago (second won’t come for 12 weeks) and now I cannot believe in Q-Anon.

WOOT! Scheduled Monday for Pfizer first dose and second end of month. Hawaii just dropped to age 70+ so I’m in line now.

First shot down - minor sore arm. I prepared my T and B cells ahead of time by reading XKCD Covid comics aloud and avoiding 5G cell towers.

Hold on, this is the “wake up sheeple” mockery thread.

Ok, acceptable recovery.

I’m supposed to get my second Moderna shot next week, I think.

For that you need Pfizer’s Riser.

Also known by its generic equivalent name, mycoxafloppin.

I always thought Sildenafil and Tadalafil sound like two really hot elf sisters from a Tolkien story that give Frodo a perpetual hard-on.

I had a good joke I should have said at my first shot:

Me: Will I be able to play the piano after the shot.  
Shooter: I don’t see why not.  
Me: That’s funny. I’ve never been able to play the piano before.

It’s really funny in my head.

You have to ask for the Moderna microchips with the optional music upgrade. I don’t think the government or any private insurance covers this though. You may have to pay (and maybe a lot) for it. (ETA: And even then, it only works two weeks after the second shot.)

I got my second shot today. I stopped at the vet and had her scan me, but no micro-chip. I still have to log in to sites because my direct neuro connection doesn’t seem to have developed yet. We will be going to Phoenix on Friday, do you think if we have lunch under a 5G tower the wetware will finally start updating?

I had my first dose today; no side effects yet, other than a slightly sore arm.

Isn’t Bill Gates awesome? I was just reflecting on that! I wish there was some way he could be President of Earth.

I will have more to say on this topic after Windows 10 finishes updating. Funny how I got an update today, right after getting that shot! What a coinkydink!

I got the Pfizer and pfeel pfine so pfar.

I was a little disappointed that I’m only receiving Bill Gates in mono. Then I remembered: you need the second shot for stereo.

I got my first jab of Pfizer yesterday in Pfasadena, Texas. Bill Gates hasn’t spoken to me yet. Not worthy, I guess.

Something might be happening here! Mom, who was a die-hard Apple fan has just ordered a droid tablet because mine is so much easier to use than her Apple.

I’m being hopeful here, I _want_ my direct neuro-interface with the electronic overmind!

(That’s why I’m not mentioning the part that her tablet is over 10 years old and mine is a couple of weeks old with expanded memory.)
