I asked myself why I've only made 3 COVID-related videos this year, and the answers made me worried about the future.

This is my second video in a row that could be listened to as a podcast. So stop pestering me about still not having gotten around to starting that podcast. This is actually supreme efficiency pal. But seriously, I know it's kinda boring, it would make me happy if you just stuck it at x2 speed.

I haven't watched this back fully but I hope my message came across reasonably clearly. The last thing I would want to be doing is stoking the culture wars or misinformation which both surround COVID topics, especially vaccination. I'm just trying to say that...shit's complicated, ya get me?
