Jeff Koterba had the perfect cartoon today: Hawaii, of course, has had the ideal hand sign for ages: Thus, if I walk around without a mask at a shopping mall, when someone gives me a stink eye, I flash this shaka sign indicating I've taken my vaccine shot and am safe. The CDC did it again.  Last week they announced everyone associated with future cruises should get vaccinated as soon as they can .  Today, they now say, however, this is not a requirement .  They got pressured from the Florida cruise industry to back off...and they did.  Incredible.  At least the Trump CDC was consistent and only lied. From the New York Times this morning; Online disinformation is   sowing vaccine distrust   among evangelicals. Nearly half of white evangelical adults in the U.S. say they will not be vaccinated. The Republican governors of Florida and Mississippi   voiced opposition to “vaccine passports,”   credentials that would show a person’s vaccination status. “ Godzilla vs. Kong ” earned about
