Sorry, guys. In all the hubbub over the past several days, a real gem somehow managed to sneak by under our radar.
We’re talking, of course, about Kathy Griffin’s COVID booster tweet. It seems she recently received her fourth COVID shot, which is interesting not only because we had no idea that they were already doing a second booster, but also because her booster came with some sweet SWAG.
Free COVID tests, baby!
4th booster f**kers.
Oh, and CVS gave us EIGHT free Covid tests for getting boosted! pic.twitter.com/fG6zHsayKz— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 26, 2022
Note: We’re just assuming that Kathy meant to say she got her fourth COVID shot and not her fourth COVID booster, because otherwise that would mean that she’s gotten six COVID shots, and that seems … not right.
Which flavor? Pfizer? Moderna?

Moderna

Wow, Kathy! Um … congratulations, we guess? Congratulations to Moderna, too, we suppose.
They gave you eight free tests AFTER you're fourth booster? Um…

8 free tests to test for the thing the 4 shots protect you from, you say? Now that’s a deal!

I don’t think getting eight free tests for the disease you were just vaccinated against for the fourth time is sending the message you think it is https://t.co/5OmPtJmIjN

It’s true, that’s probably not how we would go about touting the benefits of getting vaccinated and boosted against COVID, but then, we also don’t have any experience as celebrity spokespeople. We defer to your expertise, Kathy! You clearly have a ton of it, and it’s paid off very well for you.

Kathy Griffin is just like us!
We kid, of course. Not only are we not going to CVS in $650 Gucci sneakers, but we’re not getting extra boosters in exchange for free COVID tests. Because that’s weird. It’s a weird thing to do.
We totally get why companies like Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna and Janssen would want to have famous people show themselves getting vaccinated. It might actually help to convince at least some people out there to take the plunge and get the jab. But if we were Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna or Pfizer, we’d probably feel pretty compelled to distance ourselves from Kathy Griffin. Because right now, she’s not doing such a hot job of making our pride and joy look good.
Covid is now an industry that’s too big to fail.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I always get vouchers for free flu tests after getting my flu shot each year

Have fun with Kathy Griffin, Moderna!
