Meme

A photo of The French Dispatch cast at the Cannes Film Festival generated a lot of memes. Declan Cashin (@Tweet_Dec) made one about the different COVID-19 vaccines available for each of the cast members. This meme is relevant because it was a popular image in 2021 that combined the reality of the pandemic, when several vaccines were available.
