[Panel 1]
[Nils]
Grmgrmgrmgrmgrmgrm.

[Elizabeth]
Oh dear.

[Nils]
The news keeps going on about
people being "double vaccinated".

[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
A travesty, of course.
"Doubly" or nothing.

[Nils]
Yes, but even if you
get that right it's the
wrong phrase for it.

[Elizabeth]
Ooh, are you going to
have a technical rant?

[Panel 3]
[Nils]
It reminds me of the fights we had
with spammers. They wanted to call
confirmation to get onto a list
"double opt in", because "double"
sounds like an extra special thing,
and they wanted plain standard
"opt in" to be acceptable.

[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
What, like someone typing
your address into a form?
Yeah, I can see why they'd
want to make that normal.

[Nils]
And anyway what about the
people who had a single-
dose vaccine? Why not
just "fully vaccinated"
which covers everyone?

[Elizabeth]
Because that would have taken ten
seconds of thought to come up with?
