Covid-19 Hotspot

Since the release of the Covid-19 vaccine, I have heard a lot of reasons why people don’t want to get it.

It’s against my religion. (I suppose there are religions out there that teach against vaccines, medicine, and any healing not brought about by God.)

I’m afraid the government will inject me with a tracking device. (I hate to break it to you, but they can already track you if they want. Didn’t you ever see Enemy of the State. Besides, why would you think you’re so important to the government that you’re worth tracking?! But I digress.)

I’ve already had Covid, so now I’m immune to ever get it again. (Again, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your immunity only lasts for six months, and absolutely has no effect on variants and mutations of the virus.)

I’m afraid the government will inject me with a sterilization agent at the same time, like they did with the polio vaccine in Africa back in the 1960s. (Seriously? I don’t even know what to do with this.)

I’m afraid that it will change my genetic makeup. (You’ve been watching too many movies. It doesn’t work like that. And are we talking about giving you superpowers, because that wouldn’t be so bad? Or are you assuming that this is all part of the social injustice movement, and black people will turn everyone black as a way to equalize things?)

I can’t spread the virus, because I don’t breathe heavily. (Uh…)

Covid isn’t real, it’s just something cooked up by the Trump administration. We won’t even hear about it after the election. (I sure hope you didn’t put money on that prediction.)

So, I’ve heard all of these reasons NOT to get the vaccine, but I just heard the funniest reason for someone to want to get it. SM was hoping to get injected with some sort of software that would turn him into his own wireless hotspot. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, but it would have been cool. Much better than some of those other outlandish ideas. Although I guess a "Covid-19 Hotspot" could also be a place where there's a lot of reported cases. Hmmm...
