"Gee, maybe I should have gone and got that free shot".

To have the doctor ask if you've been vaccinated and you have to say no and you see a suppressed eye-roll.

To being hardly able to breath and you check on Facebook and all your "friends" tell you to eat de-wormer in massive amounts.

To realize as they shove tubes down your throat that you are a dupe, a casualty of someone else's bullshit cause.

To realize that your life is ending too early because you are a dumbass.

Via TheDailyBeast:

"Cirsten Weldon had amassed tens of thousands of followers across right-wing social media networks by promoting the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy under the screenname 'CirstenW.' She was prominent enough to become a sort of QAnon interpreter for comedian conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr and started recording videos about QAnon with her."

Ingestion anthrax kills around 50% if exposed through ingestion.

The fact that only a few died is proof that they lied. Nobody is that lucky.

Some day, it will all come out....The massive amount of shit the Republican Party pulled off in the Trump four years while everyone's attention was diverted away by Trump's daily antics, and helped immensely by the 80+% of U.S. Media that is owned by wealthy republicans.......With FoxNews, RW radio, and Rush Limpballs leading the pack...........................

I'd go for a full dose of colonoscopy prep, myself.

Make sure that Rush gets everything he deserves.

As Dave Barry put it in his famous Miami Herald article:

------------
The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, "a loose watery bowel movement may result." This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don’t want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.
