CDC’s Approval of Dr. Pepper Vaccine for Marginalized Communities Stirs Controversy

Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky planted herself firmly in the national hot seat on Wednesday when she endorsed the delivery — to low-income communities nationwide — of 43 million doses of a COVID vaccine whose main active ingredient is the one that provides Dr. Pepper with its distinctive flavor.

“For the love of God, this is not your run-of-the-mill soft-drink syrup,” claimed Walensky.  “It was created by a DOCTOR!  And just for the record, I would not hesitate for a second to recommend this vaccine to Frank, the guy who cleans our gutters every year.  He’s like family to us.”
