I was a beer monster in my youth and would regularly do 60 pints over a weekend but even then, I don’t know if I could have kept that rate going for a week.

These days, 6 pints and I’m anybodies

No need to do that. If people are too selfish to get vaccinated then nuke their homes.

 

[PhilM]

They're slightly worried about the Indian variant hence the reduction of the gap between both vaccines by four weeks. A good, strong response is a positive!
