As someone that a) works in vaccines and b) cares about other people, I hate it when I mention work or personally being vaccinated and someone says "Oh I never get my flu/covid shot."

- making up stories about Portland
- terrified of the Epstein Files
- making up fake arrests of imaginary girlfriends
- babbling incoherently about cognitive tests
