Origin A bakery in Germany went viral in early January 2021 for making unique cakes — cakes shaped and decorated like syringes in honor of newly approved COVID-19 vaccines. Syringe-shaped cakes are displayed for sale at Dortmund's Schuerener Backparadies bakery as Germany continues the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine.

Because even for anti-vaxxers it’s funny. It is a vaccine without any side effects. And you can come back and get another one because it is so yummy.”
Be Gentle With Us, 2021 Happy New Year, my dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends! I’m weeping tears of joy on the inside, I swear. Is it really gone? IS IT REALLY GONE?!?!?!? I find myself wishing that 2020 had had a groin that I could have kicked. Over and over again. Alas, there was nothing corporeal upon which we could exact revenge. We’ll have to be content with doing everything in our power to enjoy this year. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from last year, to be sure. Will we learn them? Let us hope we do. We don’t have to learn them all. One or two choice ones could give us quite an evolutionary leap from the shallow plane we’d inhabited as a species for several years leading up to the Year of the Wuhan Chinese Bat Flu.
@WereBear: It’s weird, but I constantly see people who should know better, people who’ve either had the disease or had family members who have and been seriously ill, still downplay covid and behave in ways that could contribute to spreading it. There’s been numerous articles about patients in ICUs all over the country dying of covid while denying they have it. It’s bizarre to us, but I blame the relentless Republican 30 year project to eviscerate accurate news media and decent education. I bet there’s a nearly perfect Venn circle of covid deniers who also believe in “Intelligent Design”. We already know they’re also Fox news watchers.
