"Taming of the Flu" - BostonCard - 12-09-2020

The second person to be vaccinated in the UK with the newly authorized Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was a chap by the name of William Shakespeare (I'm guessing no relation).

Leave it to a UK tabloid to have some fun with that headline:

Did that person change their name as an adult?
Did that person's parents give them that name?
It seems like a crazy name choice either way.

The dude's accent is incredible. It's a great interview.
