Vaxhole:

 

One who has been fully vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus and brags about it.

Down here in SW Florida at this time of year we get a lot of (obnoxious) northerners, especially from Massachusetts.

 

They are referred to as Massholes.

They are also well known as such in RI and CT, where I've spent a lot of time,  particularly relating to driving habits. They are bad enough in their own state but get them over the state line and it's like what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight.

A little secret, everyone thinks they are the best driving region in the country, and they are not.

    Sign posted in a restaurant in Texas. 

 

The co-owners of Legends Diner in Denton posted a sign on the restaurant in mid-March 2021, instructing guests to wear masks even though the mask mandate has been lifted in Texas. It says diners will pay $50 "if I have to explain why masks are mandatory" and $75 "if I have to hear why you disagree."

It would be nice if the team of Fauci et. al. actually didn't try to keep virtue shaming even after being fully vaccinated.  Rand Paul was right, if you want to get people to take the vaccine, give them a carrot.

In case you needed another reason to get your COVID-19 vaccination, Krispy Kreme is sweetening the deal — it's giving free doughnuts to anyone with proof of vaccination, all year long. 

Starting Monday, any customer with a valid COVID-19 vaccination card will receive a free Original Glazed doughnut at participating locations nationwide. The iconic doughnut shop specifies that any guests who have received at least one of the two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine qualify for the promotion. 

All you need to show is your vaccination card to redeem your doughnut — a vaccine sticker is not valid.

I am glad Krispy Kreme is on the good health bandwagon. Now if we could address the adult onset diabetes from the donut...

  Yeah vaccine or not, too many Krispy Kreme's put you on track for a poorer outcome if you do get Covid. Not to mention a lot of other diseases.

I will be asking my local brewery if they will match the deal.

Stopped eating doughnuts about 20 years ago, and never looked back.  Btw, muffins are almost as bad.
