If you’re one of the few thousand people heading to see the Milwaukee Bucks play the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, May 2nd, you have a chance to get a very special souvenir during the game your first dose of a Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. The unusual vaccination drive is part of a host of new efforts across the US to get people their shots, whether that’s by bribing them with savings bonds in West Virginia or hosting vaccine clinics at professional basketball games in Wisconsin.

If you re aching for a look at what post-Covid life in the U.S.
should eventually look like - assuming clueless politicians and double-maskers don t seek to wield supreme executive power over our daily lives ad infinitum - you shouldn t have to look much further than Gibraltar.
Due to its small size, the U.K. territory already has 85% of its adults vaccinated. It s just one of a handful of places in the world to have vaccinated a majority of its public, according to the Wall Street Journal, who profiled the country this week.
The country has a population of just 34,000 and has vaccinated 98% of adults over 60 years old. It hasn t had a Covid case since April 8 and one of its vaccination centers closed at the end of March. The country has embarked on a plan called Operation Freedom , which is a plan to fully re-open its society.
