You could try this?

A mechanic showed me this neat trick to get rid of an annoying Check Engine light.

In a shocking turn of evens, my MIL got her first shot today.

Why would it be shocking for your MIL to get the vaccine?
Did she previously state in no uncertain terms that she would not get the vaccine?
If that was the case, then I could see how that may be shocking.

Or........don't open it?

Patient: Doctor, every time I go like this, it hurts!

Doctor: Ummmm....don't go like that!

Sorry brother, I just had to.

Ted Nugent stated he would not get the COVID vaccine but I guess maybe he is having seconds thoughts?
Years ago I used to go to Ted's shows, have seen him live many times but ole Ted sure is a complete dumb ass.

Ted Nugent, Covid Denier, Now Has Covid-19

“I have never been so sick in all my life,” says singer, who routinely casts baseless doubts on the virus and called the disease “the Chinese shit”

What a dumb ass.

No way COVID is as bad as cat scratch fever.

2nd shot down. Hoping the reaction isn't bad. If it prevents me from potentially enjoying German food and beer with friends tomorrow...heads will roll.

I was doing a bit of research on a particular monoclonal antibody (Rituximab) originally developed to destroy malignant B cells, and I ran across the below linked article that has some very interesting information concerning the early development of mRNA vaccines.
COVID vaccines are mRNA based technology.

How mRNA therapeutics are entering the monoclonal antibody field - Journal of Translational Medicine

In 1975, Milstein and Köhler revolutionized the medical world with the development of the hybridoma technique to produce monoclonal antibodies. Since then, monoclonal antibodies have entered almost every branch of biomedical research. Antibodies are now used as frontline therapeutics in highly...

If you scan about 1/4 way through the article there is a section 'The genesis of mRNA as platform for mAb production.'
In this section it states, "In March 2017 the first peer-reviewed publication showing the feasibility of using mRNA for passive vaccination ......."
Amazing technologies.

when I see articles like this I can't help but ask WHY?

A California couple died of Covid-19 weeks apart, orphaning 5 young children including a newborn | CNN

Davy and Daniel Macias died August 26 and September 9, respectively.

Both parents are now deceased but their five children no longer have their parents.

"It wasn't that they didn't want to be vaccinated -- they planned on it"

Got my second dose in early February since I live in an assisted living facility for veterans, so we were at the top of the list to get the vaccine.

Had no issues, except for feeling like I had a mild cold for a day after the second injection.

Unfortunately, now the delta variant has hit Wyoming and we have had 2 confirmed cases here already so back to twice weekly testing here.

The majority of the veteran's here are 65 and older, and have lots of medical problems to begin with, so hopefully it doesn't become a full on outbreak like we had with covid around Christmas when 45 of 75 residents had it.

Miraculously, only 2 deaths from it though.
