It was an interesting concept when I read it middle school... or high school? 
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! 
Okay, so apparently Walgreens also limited, and CVS has made some clarifications, where the vaxx will be available with an Rx except for in select states.
On Friday, CVS issued an update: It could administer vaccines in 13 of the 16 states, and in the District of Columbia, to people who had obtained a prescription from a doctor or other medical provider. (As of Friday morning, its online scheduling tool still did not allow anybody to book an appointment in those places; Ms. Thibault said an update was in progress.) In Massachusetts, Nevada and New Mexico, CVS still cannot offer the shots at all, Ms. Thibault said.
She did not provide an explanation for the change.
Walgreens did not respond to requests for information. But when a New York Times reporter tried to schedule vaccine appointments in all 50 states, the Walgreens website said patients would need a prescription in 16 of them. Though there is some overlap, it’s not the same set of 16 as CVS, underscoring the level of confusion.
greatest country on earth!
I might have to try South Carolina. 
If the pharm isn't offering it, I don't know that would make a difference. It's like taking something off the menu, I believe. They're not denying it, it's not available.
Love using LLMs for things Watson solved over a decade ago.
I've gotten very close, but it's repeatedly alluded me, unfortunately. I've already taken a spill into the retention pond it's swimming in, sliced up my hands, and inhaled/swallowed a bit of water that ducks and geese have been swimming in for the past week. I'd hate to have caught avian flu and still have it die. 
Trying to find something I can use as a net, but not having much luck. Neighbor's got a call in to some wildlife place, at least.🤞
Bond hearing in 2 parts.
The hearing, totally not a show force
Walking out with his held high

Oh hey, look. It's mass immune dysregulation, one of my biggest nightmares. 
PLEASE, MASK!
This one was bubbling in my head ever since that scene.
Former CIA Agent John Stockwell Talks about How the CIA Worked in Vietnam and Elsewhere
I very much recommend checking out the rest of the channel. Some real bangers.

lla del ViLaggiù nel Medioriente, come un bufalo ferito
Infuria il pirata americano,
Ma nei campi, sulle dune, sono armati anche i bambini,
Ogni donna impugna il suo fucile,
No, non fan paura i carri armati d'Israele:
La tua terra tu la devi liberare.
Abbiamo alzato il rosso, il verde, il bianco e il nero,
Stretto in pugno la bandiera: i colori di Al-Fatah.
Abbiamo alzato la bandiera partigiana della Rossa Palestina
Accanto a quella del Vietnam!
Li chiamano «banditi» i giornali dei padroni
Che chiamavano «assassini» i partigiani,
Noi non crederemo ai bollettini israeliani,
Al tiranno giordano traditore.
Quante volte ci hanno detto «E' finita in Palestina»
E ancora cantavamo la canzone.
Abbiamo alzato il rosso, il verde, il bianco e il nero,
Stretto in pugno la bandiera: i colori di Al-Fatah.
Abbiamo alzato la bandiera partigiana della Rossa Palestina
Accanto a quella del Vietnam!
Al di là di questo mare c'è un popolo fratello:
Ogni lotta aiuta un altra lotta,
Ogni colpo sparato sul nemico sionista
In Italia colpisce chi comanda.
Coi popoli in rivolta si muove oggi la storia,
Rivoluzione, fino alla vittoria!
Abbiamo alzato il rosso, il verde, il bianco e il nero,
Stretto in pugno la bandiera: i colori di Al-Fatah.
Abbiamo alzato la bandiera partigiana della Rossa Palestina
Accanto a Vietnam!
I've not watched Punishment Park yet (it's on my jellyfin), but The Long Walk iirc isn't disciplinary, they volunteer. Again, it's been many years since ive read it, but i seem to recall it being some weird jingoistic patriotic event with a big payoff for the winner... and maybe payoffs for the families of the losers? I think it was one of those overpopulation-lottery themes that was big at the time. King also wrote Running Man around that time under the Bachman name which dealt with similar energy. Running Man probably reads like The Lathe nowadays; I remember a bit about inner city kids teaching the MC how to make nose filters to battle pollution and whatnot while the media constantly misrepresnted him as a radical terrorist.
