DISCUSSION: How Will Vaccine Be Used Against Pandemic Influenza?
COMMENT: A Senator is NOT a Homeland/Security personnel
Submitted by Ellen Rice on 12/4/07 7:23 PM
I am not naive. The first people to receive any vaccine will be our US Senators, their partners, children and grandchildren. These people, however, are NOT essential to the running of our country (at least not like the water treatment engineer or the grocery truck driver). I would love to see some real statesmanship -- as in "I'll be the last person in my district to get the vaccine" .
Our Senators (and Generals) have become American Royalty. This is the truth and there should be a specific classification for these groups. We know they will be ahead of Joe Six-Pack, so it should be in the planning papers for all to see.
