    We're at this weird part of the vaccine push where depending on where they live people are either like "the vaccine man came down my block today merrily tossing out vaccines" or "the state estimates I am in category 6QΞ² with estimated appointment date June 2073"

    The key to understanding the "Maus" thingβ€”and I really do mean thisβ€”is that these are people for whom Jews mostly exist in theory, the same way that in third grade you learn there's a thing called tectonic plates
