Classy and spot on.
From President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Smothers Brothers, who had a popular, bold, and very funny political satire TV show in the late '60s. I'm old enough to remember it.
They regularly skewered Johnson (Vietnam War era), and for all his faults, was elegant enough to respond thus.

If you have a local health department, you can likely get your vaxx there for free. Give them a call and see what they offer.
For those who don’t fall under the CDC’s new recommendations, coverage would depend on their insurance — with some deciding to fully cover the shot, others requiring a copay and some not covering it at all. Without insurance, a Covid shot can cost up to $140.
