Ok but this parody is stunningly accurate, both in its description of a mall and its emulation of McCarthy’s writing style.
"The mall had once been a bustling outpost of humanity. Now as the man led the boy over the threshold, he perceived how the crowds thinned and order gave way to the entropic pull of the wild."
Cormac McCarthy’s The Mall
If only there was not cause, thought the man, for the boy to accompany him here. To this place of commerce. But as the woman reminded him two hours...

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

Yep But, That is how the vaccine works just like Flu or RSV it keeps one from getting very sick. There is Nasal Vaccine for Covid and Flu that causes sterilizing immunity but Kennedy pulled the funds. Mucosal ( nose vaccine ) results in sterilizing immunity which means one can't catch it.

I've been waiting and praying for a sterilizing nasal vaccine for COVID ever since they first teased it back in the 2022 or something. It would be such a game-changer for my ability to resume a normal-for-me social life. I could play board games with randos again!

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice.
One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity.

This is so pants-on-head stupid. Even IF people are able to get and spend the money in their FSAs - which has an expiration date, and which can only be spent on certain “covered” expenses - they’ll still have to pay the insurance premiums they can’t control or afford.
