Covid Vaccines and Big Tech

So I got my Covid Vaccine, and it was administered at the @Microsoft executive briefing center!
The irony of going to the Microsoft Campus and getting a virus! Now I can't help but wonder if my antibodies will need to be patched on the first Tuesday of every month. :)
But that got me thinking. What if I had done it at @Apple? ... The vaccine would be gorgeous, and I'd have to pay $99 for an exquisitely engineered iBandage (or an extra $1499 for the iBandage pro) to cover the wound.
Had I done it @Google it would be in perpetual beta, and then get deprecated before release!
At NetFlix, they would increase the cost between the first and second shot.
At Facebook, I'd have to scroll through hundreds of useless syringes to find the vaccine.
At Tesla, the price would have changed 5 times between the car park and the nurse's station, they'd have an innovative needle that could safely be reused, and they'd call it a v4x1n3.
Amazon would give me one vaccine, and then try to sell me all the others before I got home.
Comcast would bundle the vaccine with Cable TV, a Phone Plan and Internet, and somehow it would be more expensive without them
T-Mobile would make it free on Tuesdays
IBM would give me the flu vaccine from 1983
...At Twitter, I'd be limited to 140 antibodies.
I hope you enjoyed! Please wear a mask. Wash your hands. And get vaccinated when you can!

3 年This is hilarious ?? PS: At Uber you would've been quoted a higher price due to surge, And at WeWork the CEO would've kept $80M worth of vaccines to himself.
