It’s Worth A Shot

We’re at a point in time when one can barely get out of the house without a certain document which can be obtained by getting vaccinated or recovering from a particular disease. We’re discussing the situation with a coworker who’s famously averse to getting jabs and has chosen the option of being swabbed every few days.

Coworker: “So, at this point, my best option is to catch the disease.”

Me: “Well then, what are you waiting for? Strip naked and do a streak run in the IC ward.”

Coworker: “Eh, but in the IC ward, there’s the nasty strain. I don’t want the nasty strain. I want a mild strain that makes me sick just a bit so I can make my antibodies and get the pass.”

Me: “Hmm, I know just a thing that would make you sick just a bit, kickstart your immune system, and get you a pass.”

Coworker: “Really? What?”

Me: “A vaccine shot.”
