Even though I am old enough and have other medical issues to qualify as an "at risk" group, I don't think my age should move me up in line just because I'm being inconvenienced, or am bored. I, along with so many other older and retired people, can simply continue to stay at home or minimize my interactions. To insist I be vaccinated, so I can get back to my old normal routines quicker, ahead of the ones mentioned previously - is just being selfish IMHO.

Like many other things, I am thankful that it is not my duty to make the decisions nor be subject to people criticizing the decisions made.
Selfish? You/we only need to read about the Titanic and so many other events. The band, knowing that death was likely, continued to play. The first class passengers, the wealthy were direct to life boats first. Women and children first? We would likely say the same today. Women's lib? Oh and there were guys who decided their lives were more important
than women, children or anyone but them.
