037 - We Can Be H.E.R.O.E.S. Just For One Great Conjunction

We do a light excavation of the newly passed (yet to be signed into law) "HEROES Act" (H.R. 133). Stanford Medical Center gives vaccines to each and every more deserving "elite" in their ranks while 1,342 frontline medical workers are left empty handed.  As the vaccines roll out (and slowly trickle down from Mt. Olympus, where all our godlike ruling class reside) the UK is exploding with a new, highly infectious, strain of COVID-19, which Boris Johnson's insane, homicidal, "herd immunity" policies 1000% created the conditions for. But, on the other hand, Saturn and Jupiter have aligned in a way not seen since 1226, so, everything's lookin' up.
