Begging for their jabs. It’s OK to criticize as long as you stay on the reservation.
Because Governor Creosote is an incompetent boob.
That’s why.

“my guess it’s lagging because they are selling the doses off to China for personal gain.”
Even money on that bet.

When ahs any democrook proposed anything that worked?
Their total history is one of failure.
What if Illinoisans don’t want the jab?
What if Illinoisans don’t want the jab?
Seems like there is just too much “unknown” about the future affects of the jab.
We found out this morning that the States of California and Oregone were giving vaccines to prisoners while 75 year old non prisoners could not get the vaccines.
Would anyone be surprised if Illinois, NY and any other blue state were vaccination criminals before 75 year old non criminals.
If you’re having trouble getting the COVID vaccine in California, maybe you want to try your hand at entering the state’s prison system where things seem to be humming along while those on the outside, many who’ve lost their livelihoods and could possibly struggle the rest of their lives, wait their turn to get vaccinated.
The Los Angeles Times reports 40% of prisoners inside the California corrections system have been vaccinated and “almost 70% of incarcerated people who have been offered the vaccine have accepted it,” the newspaper reports this week. That news led Sharon Dolovich, a UCLA law professor who runs a COVID jail data project to tell the newspaper that the number of prisoners vaccinated in California is “incredibly high.”
Since COVID started its march across the United States, the California prison system has suffered 211 prisoner deaths. Let me repeat, 211 prisoner deaths across the entire state. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the state’s prison population was 114,374 on March 11, 2020. 26 CDCR staff members “deaths appear to be due to complications related to COVID-19,” the agency reports.
Meanwhile, up the coast in Oregon, in early February, a federal judge ordered the state to move prisoners ahead of seniors for the vaccine. As of the ruling by the judge, Oregon had suffered 40 COVID-related prisoner deaths. Yep, 40.
The federal judge ruled that inmates couldn’t be moved down the priority list because it violated inmates’ rights.
“Our constitutional rights are not suspended during a crisis. On the contrary, during difficult times we must remain the most vigilant to protect the constitutional rights of the powerless. Even when faced with limited resources, the state must fulfill its duty of protecting those in its custody,” US Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman wrote in her ruling.
In Florida, prisoners are waiting:
Just this week, a 67-year-old man accused of a double-murder tried to move up in the vaccine line, but he was denied by a judge who ruled in favor of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and denied George McCray’s request to get the vaccine. McCray, a military vet, was attempting to move up in line at the VA. McCray had eight previous felony convictions before being charged in the 2016 murder of his 20-year-old girlfriend and her 50-year-old friend.
There are an awful lot of...shall we say “democrats”..who don’t want it. Think it’s a repeat of the Tuskeegee Study or something.
Wherever democrats rule...disaster.
I know far more conservatives that don’t want it. We don’t trust Fauci, Gates, Big Pharma, or Democrats
I don’t know why everyone is in such a rush to put mRNA into their bodies. No one even knows what it will do to you in a few months or years. I’ll wait for the normal type J&J vac myself if I even have to take one.
Wherever democrats rule...disaster.
Then, they get by with it including murder as their mediots refuse to investigate their criminal activities.
Doctors I trust implicitly are saying get the shot. I’m still waffling.
My doctors are saying wait a few years to evaluate long term effects. There are incredibly effective therapeutics like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. Vitamin D and Zinc. You will eventually be exposed to the virus regardless, so you might as well develop natural antibodies. My wife’s 90 year old grandfather just got Covid and made it through better than before! No shot. Just therapeutics
👍
Anecdotes vary. So far, my wife and I have 7 acquaintances or closer who CVOVID-19 has put to rest. 4 were between 65 and 75, 3 were 75 or older. All were in reasonable shape for their age. One was my best friend’s Dad (I had met many times, dined with, etc. - was sort of a role model for me), one was my wife’s best friend’s MIL (don’t know quite as well.)
YMMV.
“COVID-19” Sheesh...
I was poking around some vaccination sites in S. Illinois. Biggest one seems to be @ the SIU Arena in Carbondale. Looks like they are signing up 100 people per hour, 11 hours per day next Wed. and Fri., but 6 hrs. a day, Tu. and Th., none Monday. Civic center there looks more like 80 an hour, 11 hrs. a day, Tu. - Fri., next week. Including a couple pharmacies also giving shots, apparently, that’s roughly 7000 shots per week. County population is about 57,000.
I wonder how Northern IL is looking?
