My husband went in for his booster today.

He said there were full seats in the waiting room. Two were vaccine virgins. He described them, older than sixty, white haired and white. He went in first to get his shot and when he walked out they asked if it hurt. My husband faked a swaying arm and said, "Like hell." But, quickly added, just kidding.

They were there for the J&J. At least, it's something that will get them through the holidays. So glad they went in.

1. I wonder what prompted them to finally get vaxxed?

Maybe the upcoming holidays and Omicron.

2. I think that's it, and the fact that MAGAs are dropping in larger numbers

than every other political demographic. Porch lights are going on.

3. Only took 800,000 deaths for them to figure it out.

But yes, the non-vaxxed deaths might be getting some of the Maga attention at last.

4. Probably the fact that Omicron originates (apparently) from Africa.

Racists gonna racist. They'll give up their anti vax position before they give up unthinking freakouts about anything remotely related to black people.

5. I hadn't thought of that, but you could be right.

Switching from the "China virus" to the "African virus."
American racists will freak out and get vaxxed.
