Well...isn't that what's expected of us with privilege? We take what we've obtained via privilege, and....

This NPR boob seems to forget or dismissed the freedoms we have.

Oh, well...it’s NPR after all.

ALL of their audience suffers the effects of Kool-Aid toxicity.

But it must be contagious: Some FReepers exhibit the symptoms, too. (is it because they also do NPR???) /s

This writer is a racist, anti-American prick. The US is sharing tens of millions of doses of the anti-Covid vaccines with many countries around the world.

What the hell is “extreme privilege” (all Americans have the “privilege” of getting a vaccine. Just look up vaccination sites in one’s local area. I have about 5 within spitting distance of my house and a choice of vaccines. I have no “extreme privilege”. I’m just one of the “people” who pays attention to health issues and read notices from my local government (which has done a pretty good job of making vaccinations/sites available for everyone).

In my case, the reasons I haven’t got my shot yet is complicated by having died once from Cardiac Arrest, compounded by Pneumonia abd brain seizures. In the last two years I’ve had major pancreatic cancer surgery/chemo/radiation therapy, Cellulitist infection in my legs, and a blood clot in my upper leg, one right after the other. Throw in normal allergies, and as of yesterday, serious anemia and low blood cell counts.

I’ve been cleared to get a vaccination but due to my medical record, I’m hesitant re lung/chest problems and esp. blood clots. I’ll probably get one when I get a little bit stronger but my doctors have warned me that the old FLU is more deadly to me right now/this Fall, than the chances of getting the COVID virus.

That is why a FLU shot is an immediate concern, as another FR article posted before this addresses. The same for SHINGLES and PNEUMONIA shots.

Younger people are suffering from side-effects so that is one concern they have.

It’s all a personal choice/issue now, plus some common sense, but there is no “special privilege” involved.

Then: “Clean your plate! There are starving children in (insert the country of your choice)!”
Now: “Get the jab! There are people in (insert the country of your choice) who can’t!”
It makes as much sense now as it did then...

The ideology of envy and covetousness.

It’s selfish to be prudent. I like it. Say it in a pandemic, food shortage, investments, or any other topic. It’s another way of saying you have what I want or your not doing what I want.

I love how they use the word “offer” the cv19vx, like they are offering a cake sample. As though they intend it to be voluntary.

I have an alternate path to normalcy: how about every cv19 vax pusher, cv19 vax nutcase, Pharma troll and idiot conventional MD just drop dead now? We won’t miss you. And less people will die from medical neglect and the cv19vx poison, without you people pushing your victims off a cliff.

Nothing in the article suggesting any accountability to China for efficiency in virus distribution.

a frightening thought is that we are already seeing narrative setup for mandatory vaccination, well before any widespread side effects are too prevalent for even our media to ignore. once everyone is dosed, it won’t matter.

this is straight out of a nightmare geopolitical doomsday thriller novel.
