To the list of hundreds of schools, hospitals, and community health centers that have received limited allocations of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, you can now add some of New York's largest employers. In the past week or so 13 companies, including Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS), have begun receiving small quantities of the vaccine, according to city health authorities.

These AZZHOLES would have been right at home with Bruce Ismay the night the Titanic sank. Of course, they’d need a lot more WOMENS’ DRESSES.

And I have no words for the &*&^$%#% in government who authorized the release to the AZZHOLES. Actually I do but can’t use them here.

The entitlement mentality of certain people in a few zip codes in Manhattan is astounding.

Not to mention the people here who constantly defend them.

Health-care workers at those employers are bound by the CDC to distribute the vaccine only to populations deemed to be at high risk of developing serious complications from swine flu: pregnant women, children and young people aged 6 months to 24 years, people who live with or provide care for infants under 6 months (who cannot be vaccinated), people aged 24 to 64 with medical conditions that put them at higher risk for flu-related complications, and health-care workers and emergency medical personnel. A spokeswoman for Goldman, who asked not to be named, said the company had just received the vaccine and did not yet have information as to how it would be distributed, saying that Goldman will supply vaccine only to those who qualify as high-risk, per the CDC requirements. Citigroup had not responded with a comment as of the evening of Nov. 2.

"The entitlement mentality of certain people in a few zip codes in Manhattan is astounding."

Other companies were equally entitled to apply for vaccines. Being apparently better managed, Morgan Stanley and others applied earlier than other. The allocation officers should have used other priorities but made a mistake and allocated some vaccine in the order of received applications.

Where is entitlement? This statement does not even make sense. If you simply hate those people, then just tell us so.

"Not to mention the people here who constantly defend them."

Oh, just because some idiots among conservatives swallowed falsehoods of the MSM about Wall Street it is erroneous to point that out?

This second sentence is also nonsensical. Do people who "defend them" also have the sense of entitlement? To do what, to speak out?

You are not even wrong; your words simply don't make any sense.
