      Unfortunately I’m vaccinated.😕 I have to celebrate my own way, by driving around the block until I hit tonight’s dinner. Then it’s just a quick stop at the drug store for the marinade ingredients, ivermectin and broken glass thermometers.😋

        Sorry to be the one to tell you this but you’re going to have to drop tonight’s dinner in a local park.

        Instead you should celebrate with the true health secretary meal, McDonald’s

        Just remember. It’s no longer poison to RFK

          Oh for sure. I use his scientific food safety test. I leave a little outside and see if a crow eats it. They’re very smart birds. If they’ll eat it, it must be safe.

    The mad chorus raises to a fever pitch

    The hymns of Nurgle belch forth from the immaterium

    His prophet stands tall, ready to innoculate us all with his blessings.
