Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:
