My favorite part of 2023 was adopting this guy, Jarvis.
The shelter said he “might be a bit standoff-ish” and he was recovering from anorexia (yes, apparently cats can become anorexic).
His medical records paint a much more dire picture. He wouldn’t allow staff near him…

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, nor am I a COVID denier, but people like this make it difficult not to believe that lockdowns are more about social engineering than they are about stopping the virus. A vaccine is not a “complement” to being isolated and muzzled like an animal.
Since the beginning of the

pandemic, we knew that a vaccine would be essential for bringing the pandemic under control. But it’s important to emphasise that a vaccine will complement the other tools we have, not replace them.
