Understandably, some people are really starting to lose their minds. During a Dallas City Hall's open mic session earlier this month, for instance, a YouTuber named Alex Stein took to the stage and used over two minutes of his allotted time to serenade council members with a [highly questionable pro-vaccination rap](). According to *Newsweek*, it was [far from the first time]() Stein made an appearance at city council meetings. https://twitter.com/BradfordPearson/status/1481293800437960710 While we of course agree with Stein's general sentiment, the message could've been conveyed more tastefully and musically. After all, though, we all find different ways to cope with the misery of yet another wave of COVID. "Dr. Fauci, give me that ouchy," Stein blurted while wearing medical scrubs in the viral video. The YouTuber had a bigger message to send to Dallas City Council as well. "I'm here today because we gotta vaccinate our children, you know, we really don't have enough vaccines, like they're not mandatory, and that's the problem, we've gotta mandate these vaccines," he told the small crowd before breaking into song. Due to technical difficulties, Stein had to resort to performing a cappella. "Will the real Dr. Fauci please stand up, please stand up, please stand up," Stein rapped. "Vaccinate your body," he continued. "Vaccinate me at the party. Vaccination free. Vaccination freak-a-leak." It's difficult to get through the two plus minutes of verbal diarrhea without physically cringing — but we appreciate Stein's efforts nonetheless. **READ MORE:** ['Dr. Fauci Give Me That Ouchie': Man Performs COVID Rap at City Hall's Open Mic]() \[*Newsweek*\] **More on vaccinations:** *[Donald Trump Touts Vaccine Safety, Humiliates Right-Winger]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
