That sound you can hear is the government preparing to give £300bn to roll out the vaccine to a company that makes hats run by someone who doesn't even know what a vaccine is but is married to a Tory MP.

Sorry to kill the mood, but it's important to bear in mind at this stage that this vaccine was developed by nerds, and if you take it that means you think nerds are cool and you love nerds and you want to be a nerd

As we absorb the vaccine news, let’s all be thankful that the press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping crew won’t be the ones responsible for ensuring it is distributed efficiently and equitably.

lots of questions about the vaccine obviously but the most important one is this: after I get it do I get a sticker

Trump gets voted out. Covid vaccine looking good. If 2020 continues this way it should start raining chocolate dildos in December.
