CDC bureaucrats have decided the lives of elderly Americans don’t count. They’re recommending 100 million “essential workers” (i.e. healthy people working at liquor stores or phone companies) can get the vaccine before our grandparents.

Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard Heartless, arrogant, unelected CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly Americans don’t count. They’re recommending 100 million “essential workers” (i.e. healthy people working at liquor stores or phone companies) can get the vaccine before our grandparents.

The whole “essential” workers and business nonsense is a communist concept. In the US we are all equal at least in the eyes of the government, by law.

So, the CDC is trying to kill me???

[Reno89519]

Until everyone 75 and older have the vaccine, no one else should get it. Then 60-75 year olds. Give this to the people at apparently need it most. After than, let’s see who needs it. Definitely no 30 year olds like AOC.

“...So, the CDC is trying to kill me???...”

Sure looks like it.
Maybe we should kill them back?

[dainbramaged]

All part of the plan, I believe.

A person 65 or older is at least 90 times more at risk of dying from COVID-19 than a young working-age person. Vaccinating the elderly first is the obvious strategy to save the most lives. ACIP says its twisted priorities are based in "fairness, equity and justice." What the committee really means is "wokeness."

Give it to 65+ and everyone else can get back to work.

I told you, the vaccine is a booby trap. A reagent will be added to the food supply and its true purpose will be unveiled. No interest in the elderly, they can’t reproduce and have a limited life span. :)

And also the crynorities are being prioritized. Sorry mom. You’re too white to be saved.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

Agreed. In an ideal world with perfect knowledge, you could give it to those most likely to transmit it, but with the information we have available, it should go to healthcare workers and seniors before anyone else.

If anything, politicians should be at the back of the line, regardless of their age.

[JonPreston]

👍 yes, let’s get the bastards before they get us. Hold my cane, please.

[Buttons12]

She’s a Dem and I don’t trust Dems, but she often makes much more sense than the others. Which isn’t difficult.

[Amendment10]

On the other hand, our grandparents don’t need to be guinea pigs for new vaccines that are known to have side effects in some people.

Insights welcome.

[wildcard_redneck]

Old women are past child bearing age and therefor do it need to be sterilized by the COVID vaccine. Also, as “economic units” they are a “burden” on society and are “life unworthy of life” as the Nazis were fond of saying.

[dljordan]

I’m 70 and it works for me. Vaccinate the illegals first though.

[mac_truck]

No restrictions, there’s enough vaccine for everyone that wants it
