The South ParQ Vaccination Special was able to effectively tackle QAnon, vaccines and the post-Trump era

"As with September’s Pandemic Special, the more planned-out format often allows South Park to comment on the current sociopolitical moment more effectively than in a regular season," says Dan Caffrey of last night's special. "When the show’s creators aren’t scrambling up until the last minute to put together a weekly episode, their jokes feel focused, articulate, and evenly threaded throughout the evening. One of the Vaccine Special’s best bits sits right at the core of the story, with the high demand and low supply of vaccine doses transforming Walgreens into an exclusive environment reminiscent of a trendy nightclub. While most of South Park’s residents are left stranded outside the door to contend with a surly bouncer, the town’s senior citizens waltz right in before indulging in the rebellious behavior and busy social lives usually enjoyed by younger people."
