The Liberal Race To Vaccinate

In an effort to prioritize their arm for inoculation, some falsely exaggerated plans to “volunteer” their way to an appointment while others hired outside professionals to assist them in joining a physician spouse’s payroll. Unlike many progressives in my area who continue to work remotely while scooping up these coveted slots, residents in underprivileged communities often rely on public transportation to take them to various jobs, resulting in minimal online access. Incidentally, this relieved them of the opportunity to navigate the cumbersome appointment process.

Reluctant to the idea of their children not being first in line for any endeavor, some elites clamored for appointments for their teenage offspring who in three months will work as counselors at cushy summer camps. Yet with reopening plans still hazy, there remains an uncertainty if area overnight camps will even be able to operate under existing COVID restrictions. Given the fact that this virus affects this demographic the least, it is troubling that parents feel children should reap the rewards of science prior to those whose inoculation could mean a paycheck for food on their table.

Demographic data supports the theory that racial disparities surrounding vaccinations are more pronounced in liberal communities. White residents in Westchester County account for approximately 74% of the population yet represent almost 82% of those who have received their first dose of the vaccine. Comparatively, Staten Island has a large number of first-in-line vaccine-eligible residents with almost 40% of New York City’s firefighters and one-fifth of its police force hailing from what is known as the city’s "red borough."

Let the liberal elites have it. The meek shall inherit the earth.

Sitting at doctors office for routine appointment. Offered the vaccine and my wife and I decided to wait for the final death toll from it before getting it.

Self-selecting is the most humane method of cleaning the gene pool. Let’s see how all these human guinea pigs do next flu season. Remember, the (real) elite sees themselves as benign and their stated goal has always been to kill off 90% of the human race. We may get 90% vaccination rates in many areas by the end of this year. Coincidence?

Vaccinations were more available to the general public in urban areas before rural areas, but on average, some inner city and suburban ethnic groups are more paranoid about the vaccines. The issue is moot now anyway, because everyone willing can be vaccinated.

I see no reason for my husband, who will turn 83 this month, our son and myself to get vaccinated and get checked for the virus. As we we are all on voluntary Quarantine. My son does the grocery shopping for us and otherwise stays in his room. I do hate it that he does not let me go with him, but I am handicapped and have trouble walking. I do use a cane

Yes. Each person has his or her unique situation, and a reasoning approach for each seems best.

[P-Marlowe]

I just read that people who got the vaccine are at higher risk of catching variants of the virus. So the lockdowns are going to be permanent.

Maybe soon they will not let you fly if you have been vaccinated.

[Leep]

do they have a vaccine that will “cure” the leftists brain syphilis?

[familyop]

Are you referring to the small case study in Israel? Vaccinated people will probably be less likely to test positive from an earlier variant than the South African variant. But the writer of the article presented percentages while omitting the total numbers of unvaccinated people infected and vaccinated people infected. Trash like that gets readers’ attention and deceives many.

"do they have a vaccine that will “cure” the leftists brain syphilis?"

They can only cure it with antibiotics, but leftists brain damaged from drugs don't often notice the damage from syphilis soon enough to prevent more damage.
