Covid Booster

I got my Covid shot today
And so far, I feel A-OK,
Yet what I really want to say
Is f*** you, Jr. R.F.K.

Each year, I get the booster shot
And, whether you agree or not,
We all deserve the chance for what
Most scientists endorse a lot.

Vaccines won’t work if people heed
What R.F.K. says we don’t need.
At least some states will now proceed
With keeping people up to speed.

My band-aid proves I got the stick,
Which didn’t hurt and ended quick.
I’d rather have a little prick
Than one who’s quite the lunatic.

RFK is quite the enigma, is he not? Against vaccines, but also against processed foods and lots of stuff that IS bad for folks... Overall, though, I think Tromp appointed RFK Jr. b/c he is easily manipulated, like most of Trump's appointees this time. ... Now don't misread me here, Ilene. I'm still grateful beyond words that Kamala Harris didn't get elected. I just can't close my eyes to idiocy, such as some of RFK's policies and statements.
