Again I say that New York State has had roughly 300,000 people receive the Covid-19 Vaccine and Florida has had about ten thousand less receive the Covid-19 vaccine. In the SAME order. First health care workers, than elderly in long term care and then people over 75. The Governor has not received the vaccine. He says he will not until his parents do.
I think you are stating a belief that the State of New York is superior to other States. Hmmmpf.
I read where an 89 year old in a long term care facility was "invited" by the owners of the company distributing the vaccine to get the vaccine. The owner of the company is wealthy and so is this 89 year old lady. It is not a sin to be wealthy unless you broke the law and harmed someone. A lot of people got wealthy the old fashioned way; working hard, sometimes two jobs and saving their money. I think it is possible that the owner of the company who is distributing the vaccine may have tried to pull strings for friends. People have done worse. People will do worse.
My husband doesn't entirely agree with me on this. He said we were told older people first and now some counties are going "first come first served".
I try to find the good in it. Every person who receives the vaccination is another person who is less a threat to dying themselves or passing disease on to others.

Sorry you are so wrong “graciegirl” even if you receive the vaccine you still can get infected and pass it on. Vaccine just assist your immune system in dealing with Virus macking it less severe for you.
