Ode to the Variants
“America is one of the few countries with enough vaccines at its disposal to protect every resident — and yet it has the highest rates of vaccine hesitance or refusal of any nation except Russia.”

Ode to the Variants
Delta! You’re killing us, haha, but who’s laughing, well, I just did. The unvaxxed horror — it’s otherwise too much
Not for Epsilon, he’s up next, then Zeta, Eta, Theta … a red state transmogrification, a death cult mortification of the flesh
O beautiful for spacious shots and wavered states of pain
Right-wing replication
More morphed mutants
After Theta: Iota, an extremely small amount, a dim dot in the Greek eye’s syllabary
Watch out for the wee ones
