COVID privilege? Younger Americans get vaccinated first, while leaders flout their own restrictions

As the COVID-19 pandemic trails into 2021, the unseemly specter of what might be termed “COVID privilege” is becoming increasingly apparent, as younger, less-vulnerable Americans are receiving the lion’s share of coronavirus vaccines and elected officials and public employees continue to ignore the COVID-19 restrictions they themselves have set or demanded.

Nominal public servants, meanwhile — exemplified by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio dancing in an empty Times Square as well as a schoolteacher calling for continued school shutdowns while vacationing in the Caribbean — suggest that many community and civil leaders may consider COVID safety measures to be a hierarchical rather than a civilizational concern.

State-level vaccine data show that young-to-middle-aged Americans are in many cases receiving a high percentage of vaccines administered by states, levels significantly outpacing their relative vulnerability to the respiratory disease.

  1. Stay away from older people until we flatten curve for 15 days. Year later give a vaccine to a 19 year old nurse not the elderly and don’t leave your house. Btw Heathcare workers rotate from COVID units to other parts of the hospital weekly. No test. However do NOT go to church.

  2. Do you slaves really believe that this virus is real? To the point that senators and politicians don’t even follow their own rules and guidelines? Putting their own all mighty god selves in harms way for fun? NO morons, they do what they do becasue they know that either the virus is fake, not doing what it says in the media it is doing or that they have a vax or medication long before this even happened? FYI the cares act was pushed into law before this virus even had an outbreak!

    You have people partying in wuhan now, the whole city, you know the epicenter of this supposed deadly virus, so deadly, the very on Chinese president didn’t even wear any protection when he first visited the area when they shut it down due to the virus! Or how none of the politicians here in the US wear or do anything in regards to the virus, but the virus is so god damn deadly, the politicians can go out and party with 100+ people hugging and kissing and everything else! But you can’t remember the virus is deadly! The mask box says masks will not help or protect you in any viral situation, but remember to wear your mask! You have MIT engineers and scientist telling you, coughing and sneezing can spread up to and beyond 25 feet but make sure you stay 6 feet away! Remember this virus is so deadly, the health department will come and fine you for some average joe sitting on a city bench but happens to be near your restaurant, so they fine you for it and tell you it is your job to make the guy move from public property!

    You slaves will learn, the hard way, and when nothing can be done to revers it! per SOP! I will tell you slaves this, I will slap you in the face if you try asking me for help, after all of this!
