It was April 13th. I was scheduled for the long awaited and somewhat tedious to set up COVID-19 vaccination.

“The CDC put a hold on the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.”

What I heard through her mask and the plexiglass was “roll up your sleeve and hold your Johnson.”

No procedure it too weird after 2020.
