Since during the last four years our country has embraced and seemed to embellish societal divisiveness, which in many cases has culminated in violence and unrest, I would suggest that we continue in that vein with the distribution plan for the COVID 19 vaccine.
Obviously, there is not going to be enough vaccine to initially vaccinate many in our society. So decisions need to be made about whom should get it first. This is tough decision. However, I would like to help in this process by proposing a list of those individuals who should get it last by utilizing the latest schisms in our society.
Lowest on the vaccine receiving list should be all those individuals who refuse to wear a mask that could potentially slow the spread of COVID 19 and impact the economic lockdown that is occurring nationwide. And let’s not forget those individuals that hosted and continue to host large gatherings in defiance of federal and state guidelines. Obviously these individuals must think COVID 19 is no worse than the seasonal flu and certainly doesn’t even deserve the label of ‘pandemic’ when discussing it. Therefore in keeping with their thought processes, if they’re not concerned, likewise, we shouldn’t be concerned about putting them in the beginning of the vaccine line, no matter what their age or medical condition.
Others deserving a place at the end of the line should be any congressional or state legislator or official who filed a court case against, or refused to enforce, CDC or state-mandated COVID 19 mandates, or publicly flaunted such guidelines. This includes Louisiana heavy weights Attorney General Jeff Landry, state House Republicans, and members of Congress like John Kennedy, Steve Scalise, Garret Graves, Mike Johnson, Ralph Abram, and Clay Higgins. All must be at the end of the vaccine line.
While I realize that my tongue in cheek
suggestion will not fly, one needs to consider the merits of my
case. Many don’t want to assist others by restricting the spread of COVID
19 and yet are scared enough of COVID 19 to want to be one of the first to be
protected from it. Am I missing something?
