Long ago, in a far and distant universe, the best people would have laughed at this kind of news

hey, no cameras around —take it off!

Dr. Fauxi has COVID, despite being double-vaxxed and quadruple-boosted. Oh, the fun our betters had when some unvaxxed celebrity or another would come down with the Monkey Flu: “You fool! You deserve to die!”, and those were some of the milder sentiments expressed by the woke mob.

I’ll note that not only did all those doses of flu goo fail to prevent the good doctor from catching this thing, but he’ll be isolating now, so that he doesn’t pass it on to the equally-vaxxed people around him. Remember when the unvaxxed were considered to be modern day equivalents of Typhoid Mary, people to be shunned and shamed because of the danger they posed to society? All that deeply satisfying moral outrage, wasted on nothing. Hate when that happens.
