... the Salt Lake County Health Department ... obtained anonymized birth dates from the county’s vaccination data to learn how vaccines were distributed among the 12 astrological signs, and compared those figures to national estimates for the share of the overall population represented by each sign ...

“Wow, I’m really disappointed in my fellow Virgos” ...

Each sign’s vaccination rate was ranked almost exactly inverse to its share of the population ...

“Obviously, it’s not super scientific because we are talking astrology” ...

... The department clarified: "The COVID-19 vaccine is backed by science and is no way influenced by horoscopes."

But it couldn't help adding in a plea to the lowest-ranked star sign: "Come on Scorpios!"

... the data was intended as a fun way to get people talking about vaccines: "We do have message fatigue around vaccines."

But did they try phrenology?





Who paid for this bucket of tripe?

12. Hey! Hands off phrenology!

I have plenty of lumps on my skull and I learned something from each and every one of them.

That said... I know where you're coming from MK.
