People everywhere celebrating a vax jab with social media pics of their vaccine card, stickers that proudly state "I Got Vaccinated!!" and thumbs up congratulations all around as if the recipients just had a baby or won the lottery.

I'm surprised people aren't giving out cigars with "It's a Covid Jab!" printed on the wrapping.

There hasn't been this sort of celebration since World War II blood drives resulting in the proud display of a window plaque that read "I Did My Part for the War Effort!" Indeed you did, my friend, indeed you did! You did your part for the war effort!

What war? Oh right, the war against Covid-19, or more accurately, the war against Mother Nature.
