I still say - a minimum should get this vaccine before the elderly, compromised, sick people and others simply more in need than they are. It's truly great to see some standing up and stating as much! Those that actually do not get it and state they want it for others in need first, are those I applaud. But don't get the shot gleefully and then claim others should get it first. :rolleyes:

Shame on young, healthy Congress members jumping the vaccine line
The coronavirus vaccine is the new status symbol, the ultimate signifier of privilege, chutzpah and exclusivity — the things that separate the ultra-elite and powerful from ordinary chumps. It is a sign one has made it.
In America, the few, the grand, the insufferably arrogant are leapfrogging over heroic and nameless first-responders, the vulnerable elderly and chronically infirm — anyone without an elected title or fat government salary.
You can forget progressive-speak about inequality. These entitled folks have been invited to roll up their sleeves and boastfully, even piggishly, gorge themselves at the trough of the potentially life-saving drug. Some have taken the opportunity to rub their needle-jabbing in our faces, using social media to promote their supposed bravery for passively receiving Pfizer’s miracle elixir, or posing for photographs or in front of TV cameras as they receive sweet relief.
The rest of us will just have to wait, many of us until spring, at the earliest.
Suckers!
