I assume the joke here is that the NHS doesnât do veterinary medicine but treats humans as if they were animals, or something. Is that right? Because if thatâs not it, I donât see what covid has to do with rabies.
It could be.
It could also be laughing at the response to get jabbed, in that pets will also get jabbed and their oh so virtuous owners promote it on social media.
Maybe @finley saw it as something else?
I confess I didnât know black hairy tongue was the name of a human disease.
PS. The tweet is real:

I saw it as âthe NHS will jab absolutely anything, because thatâs why the NHS exists, and then slap a badge on it to prove that theyâve carried out their holy missionâ. It probably would have been funnier if it was an aubergine having its monkeypox shot.
What they wonât do is let you see a doctor, but thereâs probably another meme for that.
I realize this is the funny pictures thread, but my dad did a barium swallow exam a couple of weeks back after initially seeing the doctor in maybe January or February. The first available appointment for getting the results is in August.
So ridiculous. Iâd hope that someone is doing an initial check of the results to determine whether a more urgent appointment is necessary, but who knows. Itâs ridiculous either way - if all is well, youâd think they could just say that over the phone rather than making the person wait 5-6 months. Makes me feel fortunate to live in Taiwan.
Yeah, âtwo weeks to save the NHSâ apparently didnât work out so well. But I suspect they knew that all along.
Thereâs the Satirical News thread, but I think hereâs fine too
Probably a repost, but too lazy to watch it to confirm.
hmmm. It turns out he didnât really apologise for being completely, totally wrong, for espousing dumb superstitions, for lambasting people for not believing in bullshit, and for dissing the founding principles of the nation. He just âshould have communicated betterâ, which suggests he still thinks he was basically right. Pathetic.
