To explain vaccination, I have taken the liberty of adjusting some iconic movies, with Vaccine in a leading role. I believe you will find this young performer a nuanced addition to the films.Rose is floating on a door. Vaccine hangs on beside her, though there is enough space for both of them. It’s cold. In the distance, Congress rides safely in a boat and does not pass a new stimulus package or help any stranded passengers. “I’ll never let go, Vaccine,” Rose says.
