OMG. So they can get their shots?, they're gonna stand in line so someone can tell them if they're fat enough to get the covid vaccine?

I may get one, eventually. But please, everyone who is scared to death of this thing, please, please go right ahead in front of me.

You are welcome to my shot - don't plan on getting one until I see the long term effects of the vaccine.

I would like to see the budget for the SMCHD for the last 12 months - I would bet it has doubled since the previous 12 months. Free BMI screening, free transportation to vaccination sites, additional inspectors for business compliance, overtime for all, and who knows what else.
