“Dr. Robert Redfield, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that the coming winter months could be ‘most difficult time in the public health history of this nation’. A vaccine is around the corner, though its efficacy hinges on the public’s willingness and ability to receive it. And let’s face it, in a country where millions of people even refuse to wear a mask, there’s a good chance that many of them will resist getting an injection, which is sort of like a mask that hurts.
Which is why former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have volunteered to receive the vaccine publicly to prove its safety. Now that is some presidential leadership – offering to get the vaccine on live TV before everybody else to boost public confidence. Also, it’s a great way to sneak ahead to the front of the line. I see you, Barry.
One might wonder, why Trump hasn’t volunteered to join the former presidents in a show of support for the vaccine. By the time the vaccines are available, he’ll also be a former president, but don’t forget, he beat corona already. He’s immune. Also, he can’t go before the other presidents because he’ll take all the lollipops.” —Trevor Noah
“I’m actually glad that Trump isn’t part of this event. Because you know that he would find a way to make things awkward. [As Trump] ‘I’m not getting the vaccine in front of the camera. I don’t want anybody seeing my butt.’ ‘Uh, sir, they do the shot in your arm.’ ‘Too late — I already dropped my pants.’” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
