In this 42nd episode of the Funcast, your humble hostess discusses the latest developments in #COVID1984 including the AstraZeneca vaccine that’s scaring everybody, the #BigPharma industry’s push to get us jabbed, her thoughts on how awful “Da 5 Bloods” was, mass shootings season, Biden’s first press conference and more.

*No idea what the fuck happened with the audio after 07:40:00 of the episode that made that weird noise when I read the press release from the Virginia Beach Police Department. You can skip that part and just read it yourself if it's too bothersome. Thank you. 

Correction: I mixed up "Mountain Dew" with "7-Up" when I was discussing deceptive marketing campaigns. "7-Up" is the soft drink that was marketed to babies. My bad.
