If you were on Twitter back when the COVID “fear mongering” was at its peak, you’ll likely remember the “Twitter doctors” who popped up, seemingly out of thin air, claiming they were losing hordes of patients to COVID every single day.

He replied, “Get the shots at the earliest opening available.” I will likely never know whether his announcing with energy his retirement from the practice of medicine eight months later was an accelerating choice.
Sort of like TV Generals (one of my favorite Trumpisms).
