Antibodies Versus Auntibodies

Stephen King Fun fact: Ants don't catch Covid because they have these teeny little anty bodies. matham ✨ My aunt died of COVID. Not only is this tweet insensitive, it’s factually incorrect. Adam Blockton She didn’t have auntibodies?

A screenshot of a Twitter thread shows Stephen King making a pun about ants having tiny “anty bodies.” Someone responds that their aunt died of COVID, and the final reply twists “antibodies” into “auntibodies.” The joke is a deliberately pedantic wordplay reaction to an insensitive and scientifically incorrect post.
