Author’s commentary
Based on a true story! Well, sort of.
As I waited for the day to get my covid-19 vaccine, I thought how funny it would be if I pretended that the vaccine caused me to start stuttering as soon as I got the poke. Coincidentally, my friend and Tiktok star, Marc Winski, beat me to it. He did the exact same thing and posted it on Tiktok!
