One shot, two shots, three shots, four

First came the “two weeks to flatten the curve” argument, the one that turned into, “oh, oops, we meant two years.” Put that on your “Animal Farm” barn side and deal with it.

Then came the "If one face mask is good, two face masks are better" lines of science, leading to the mildly plausible conclusion that, well then, that must mean 20 face masks are even better-er.

Then came U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams and his videotaped instructional on how to fabricate a face mask out of a piece of old cloth.

Then came the flippy-floppy televised wave of face mask by the highly esteemed, highly scholarly, highly notable, highly regarded Dr. Robert Redfield, as he claimed, on Capitol Hill, and to paraphrase, "This lil' ol' piece of cloth is all the world needs to save lives, save jobs, save children from otherwise certain death." Not enough to save Christmas 2020, it seemed - but nothing's perfect.

That's only because the vaccinations that we were told were 80 percent, 90 percent, give or take 180-to-190 percent, maybe even a bazillion percent effective against the coronavirus turned out to be only about, oh, umm, a teeny bit percent effective against the coronavirus.

Thank God for the booster, right? The booster was gonna save.

Another booster; another "Gonna save." Until it didn't, that is.

The government may be completely incompetent when it comes to saving American citizens from the scourge of coronavirus.
