I just read an interesting article. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that senior citizens be moved toward the back of the line because racial and ethnic minorities are under-represented in this group. In other words, seniors are too white.

I wonder if this is why places like Orlando are getting the virus first.

When you tell us what the ACIP said it would be my preference that you would include a link the the recommendation. Do you have one? You are of course wrong in what you wrote. You are not getting your information from accurate truthful sources. Please consider double checking what you read before spreading falsehoods.
You can read the actual ACIP recommendations HERE

That link gives the recommendation listed by date of publication. The most recent statement as supplies began to be available and it was clear that there was not going to be enough vaccine to vaccinate 20 million by year end as had been promised, that recommendation is HERE

Regarding your specific false statement that the ACIP suggesting moving seniors to the back of the line:

Quote:

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that health care personnel and long-term care facility residents be offered COVID-19 vaccination first (Phase 1a).
In Phase 1b, COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to persons aged ≥75 years and non–health care frontline essential workers, and in Phase 1c, to persons aged 65–74 years, persons aged 16–64 years with high-risk medical conditions, and essential workers not included in Phase 1b.

Do you see anything there about race determining who gets vaccine? Do you see anywhere where it says give it to POC instead of the elderly? No you don't. Nobody is picking on white people by denying them vaccine because of their color.

Very interesting, what was the source of this article? :ohdear:

If your are retired you should be last to be vaccinated. Vaccinate those that have to go to work. Old retirees can quarantine and wait for a vaccination in the safety of their home. This not the time to be selfish.

PATIENCE PEOPLE! Be thankful and grateful that vaccines have been developed so quickly and patiently wait your turn.
