The past few days I’ve been puzzling over the increasing talk around another round of Covid vaccines being brought up in the media, on X and seemingly with damn near anyone I talk to. When I saw this prompt come up today…I hesitated. I hesitated because the last thing I looked up was Pfizer stock because I wanted to see it trend line. Let me explain.

I can’t speak for everyone’s experiences but I can speak to mine. When Covid first hit I was concerned. I had anticipated that we’d experience a pandemic in my lifetime since they have been a pretty common occurrence in human history and we were a little over due for one but what I experienced was nothing like what I thought it would be like. I had visions of dead bodies on the road, mass graves, etc. kinda like that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

It didn’t turn out that way. Sure the first few months seemed a confusing mix of data. The hospitals were over run, but I didn’t see that. Not where I was. I got sick several times too. Each time I went to the drive through with the folks in HAZMAT gear who swabbed my nostrils. I never tested positive.

I saw people get Covid who had a hard time with it and then I saw others who didn’t. I even had friends get tested because they were close to someone who tested positive who in turn tested positive…but they never had a symptom. I didn’t understand what was happening but the longer time went on the more I questioned things.

When the vaccine came out. I got one. Booster? Yeah…that too. Then we saw strain after strain and folks said it was getting weaker. Becoming more virulent. The virus…like any living thing wants to live and propagate which it can’t do if it’s perpetually killing its hosts? We had the likes of Trump, Fauci, Biden all her double triple vaccinated but still have had Covid….multiple times no less.

Sigh….it’s tiring.

So what was I searching on the internet? Stock prices.

Look at these numbers….When I look at these numbers and I think about the newest pushes I see coming at us from all around about getting new vaccines and how the current administration will be approaching congress for a new spending bill for a new Covid vaccine…I look at these numbers.

What do you think about these numbers? Anything stand out?
