...and that is exactly why I have made the decision to wait, even after I become eligible for the vaccine. There are people who need it more than I do. Unlike some people, I don't feel "entitled" to something just because I'm disabled, or just because I'm retired, or just because I'm white, or just because I'm Jewish, or just because I live in the Villages. I don't feel like I should of course go first because I "deserve" to go first. That's horsepucky and hossenfeffers, pure and unadulterated.
The only people who SHOULD get it before everyone else, are the people who are at the highest risk of spreading the illness to everyone else. And that would be the medical professionals, emergency room and hospital staff, anyone working directly with the public (yes, that means cashiers in supermarkets), bus drivers, waiters in restaurants, etc.
EVERYONE else should be behind that group.
Thank y'all for your service, and now get in line with everyone else.
