I walked by Shoppers Drug Mart last night, and noticed flu shots were being offered. No line, I was there, so why not?

Anyway, it was really dead, so I asked the pharmacist why he thought there was so much polarization surrounding flu shots, and he deflected my question and began listing the benefits and the science or something--I don't know, this isn't my first rodeo, I wasn't really listening.

Then I asked him if it’s because it’s made from the tears of monkeys as they carve out their heart with a spoon. He just paused what he was doing, slowly looked up, and in that split second when we made eye contact, both of us inscrutably sized the other up in a hawk-dove standoff before he continued opening the syringe and drawing the vaccine from the vial. He didn't make eye contact with me again and told me to wait around for 10 minutes as he put the band-aid on.

I went and bought a lottery ticket and pack of gum.
