Second Thoughts on a Fourth Branch

This past April, I was vaxxed by INOVA, a large and nominally non-profit, non-governmental health care system in Northern Virginia. I expected the worst, yet my two Pfizer rounds made for an uplifting experience. The lines moved so fast, Usain Bolt couldn’t keep up. The hundreds of nurses, volunteers, National Guard personnel on site were all helpful and competent. Vaccinators and thousands of vaccinees were in absurdly high spirits. It had the feel of a rock concert.
