The Brief: Memes feature photos of Bernie Sanders and other public figures receiving their Coronavirus vaccines photoshopped to look like they're getting tattoos.
DEEP DIVE
Many politicians and public officials who are first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are documenting the process, inspiring photoshopped memes that make it look like they’re getting tattoos.
In order to demonstrate to the public the importance of taking the Coronavirus vaccine, elected officials including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Mike Pence have been receiving their vaccines on-camera. Meme-makers have responded to this by photoshopping pictures to look like a person is getting a tattoo rather than a vaccine. Popular on Twitter and Instagram, these memes often feature Bernie Sanders side-by-side with a fictitious tattoo.
Love or hate him, it’s cool that Bernie got this done. pic.twitter.com/5haBlynY1k

Another take on the photos was a joke about Bernie Sanders being euthanized:
