Lab Rat
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes, once of Como Park, emails:
Got invited to be a lab rat. No thanks. My Dad participated in the national vaccine experiment during Covid and it gave him the myocarditis that killed him. But it occurs to me that Democrats always claim illegal aliens are here to do the jobs Americans won’t do. Perfect. Step right this way, folks.
This is a friendly reminder from Walgreens that you’re invited to join our Vaccine Research Community.
By joining, you’ll:
- Receive updates about future vaccine studies
- Learn about opportunities near you
- Decide if participation is right for you — with no obligation
Joining is voluntary, free, and you may opt out at any time. Every person who signs up helps researchers move science forward and support healthier communities.
Speaking for myself? They gotta get research subjects somewhere.
But the only ones that should do it for free have four legs.

“The only ones that should do it for free have four legs”? Um, Mitch, taking lessons from Kristi Noem in pet care? :^)
OK, seriously, the thing that bothers me most is that COVID has migrated away from the lethality it had at first, but they’re still offering vaccines as if it the situation were “intensive care full of victims” and such still. A lot of people don’t seem to understand that the perceived benefit/risk ratio has dropped precipitously–even beyond the questions about what the risks really are, and what the qualification might have skipped.
