Final play of the game for the vax mob mafia. Nothing left for them to do except throw the ball 60 yards and say a prayer.

A "Hail Mary” is how Dr. Michael Hirsh, the city's medical director, described a state program to give a $75 gift card to anyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot at certain clinics.
The sports reference usually means a last-second, desperate attempt to win on the field or court, but Friday Hirsh applied it to Get Boosted, a vaccination program rolled out by the state Department of Public Health that is offering the gift cards.
“I think it reflects a level of frustration the public health community has with the response of the public to these vaccination offerings, including the new bivalent booster,” said Hirsh, who stressed his views do not reflect those of city's Department of Public Health.
“(The $75) is a little of a Hail Mary, I think. We’ve tried just about everything.”
