CLAY: Roll up the sleeves, boys and girls! Your CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, is telling you that it is imperative that all of you listening right now have to run out and get your fourth covid shot. Even though the first three haven’t worked, the fourth will work, and if the fourth doesn’t work, the fifth — and if the fifth doesn’t, it will be the sixth. Here’s Rochelle Walensky. Listen closely.
BUCK: That would be — for those of you keeping tabs, keeping score — four shots over, call it a 15-month period, give or take?
CLAY: Yep.
BUCK: Four shots, folks, just a little over a year — and let’s be clear. They’re going to have to tell you to get more shots with the new variant. This is the fourth shot in preparation for the variant out there now. But based on the original covid strain — they still haven’t changed the way that they set up the mRNA shots yet. And they’re already saying, the head of Pfizer is saying you’re gonna have new shots in the fall. So, Clay, it’s the fourth shot now. Once you get it in November, time for five, six, and seven, baby. Time to really party with those shots.
CLAY: Buck, what do you think they would tell somebody like me who’s never gotten a shot? Do I get to skip the first three and go straight to four, or do I have to get all of the shots that don’t work anymore in order to be able to get the booster?
BUCK: I don’t know We’re gonna send you nice care packages at Gitmo, Clay, when they send you.
CLAY: (laughing) I just don’t know when it’s gonna end.
BUCK: Never, ‘cause you refuse to roll up that sleeve. Bioterrorist! That’s what they’re gonna say.
