SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #106. These Things Don’t Just Happen just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. Friday morning, Ted sent a text on the family text chain about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
“Not a single person who got vaccinated, and had illness after four weeks, ended up in the hospital," Dr. Mathai Mammen, global head of pharmaceutical research and development at Johnson & Johnson, told NBC News. This "leads me to believe that this vaccine will stop this pandemic."
100% effective at preventing hospitalization. Make this vaccine available to everyone ages 18-55 and end this pandemic now.
This should be the headline for every article on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine yet the everyone will be talking about the 66 percent effectiveness;
B. Friday afternoon, on the family text chain, I predicted that Tampa Bay would win the Super Bowl. Why? “Don’t bet against old guys,” I texted. “We know what we’re doing;”
C. Betsy’s taken a job as the girls’ JV volleyball coach at our local high school;
D. Annie’s social media this week including profanity from an adult coloring book;
E. This week, a co-worker recommended reading the complete defamation lawsuit filed against Rudy Guiliani. I did and texted it to Sara and Will. I was surprised to discover,, among other things, that Guiliani sells cybersecurity systems on his podcasts with the promo code, “Rudy.”
I like old guys—but not Tom Brady. I have always hated the Patriots and think he’s a fake. Great football player, but beneath the veneer, I bet he’s not so nice. I am rooting for the Chiefs.
