I seldom smoke, but I often grill

Does that count? Btw, you can have my dose. I refuse to take experimental drugs and peer pressure didn’t work before, it won’t work now either

Big deal - you don’t have to be a smoker or even a RESIDENT in my state to get the mystery shot.

This is far from being a crackpot theory. Changeux has explained his hypothesis at length here. In simple terms, he says that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors play a key role in the development of the disease and that nicotine can put a brake on it. If he is right – and the banter heuristic says he is – it would not only save thousands of lives but would also be one in the eye for the ‘public health’ groups who have been claiming that smoking and vaping are risk factors for Covid-19.

“We trust people in Washington to assess their eligibility honestly” when signing up for a vaccine as smokers, a Washington Department of Health spokesperson told us.

What idiots.

“But we do have to plug our nose to accept it. These are the kinds of politically fraught, ethically messy criteria that a once-in-a-century pandemic has forced our country to reckon with.

It’s not unreasonable to ask: Why should someone who won’t kick a self-destructive habit have an edge over someone who makes good lifestyle decisions? Why should a 21-year-old who smokes be invited to roll up his sleeve before a 55-year-old who doesn’t?!”

So why aren’t fatties barred from getting the shots?

Drinkers?

420-ers?

And let’s not forget about the group everyone ignores: Homeless drug addicts...the group with a death rate only higher than young children from this virus.

Gee: I thought this was about ‘stopping the spread’, not winners & losers.
