MISS NETHERLANDS DROPS OUT OF PAGEANT OVER VACCINE

Miss World Netherlands has pulled out of the beauty pageant finals in December to avoid having to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Dilay Willemstein, 21, made the surprise announcement Tuesday in an Instagram post saying she would “no longer represent the Netherlands.” She later told an interviewer, “After I was crowned, we were told that if you want to go to Miss World you must be vaccinated. This was simply the best choice for me.”
* And the best choice for all the other contestants.
* She intends to fight the virus with the power of her adorableness.
* It’s too bad, because her talent was superspreading, which you don’t see very often in competition.
* It’s the first beauty pageant where nobody wants to be named Miss Congeniality.
* If this was the olden days, Dr. Fauci would give her a paddlin’.
