Fifteen minutes after regulators on Monday expanded the use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to children as young as 12, NextDraft’s designer Bryan Bell had his daughter first in line at the local pharmacy. Bryan actually had to inform the pharmacist of the news, and after they did a quick Google search, they gave his daughter the shot. My own daughter greeted the news by insisting she wasn’t going to get vaccinated because she hates getting shots. I informed her that she would have to make the sacrifice for her health, the safety of others in the community, and to maintain the authenticity of Daddy’s brand.

+ This oughta do the trick. McDonald’s is changing its coffee cups to promote the Covid-19 vaccine. (People, the vaccine is the most special sauce of all!) Meanwhile, NOLA event will give free pound of crawfish to vaccine recipients.
