I'm not actually upset Grandma and Grandpa are getting vaccinated first. My state abandoned any pretense that "essential workers" might get prioritized in the vaccine rollout once hospital staff all got theirs and is now functioning on a purely age based rollout. Many of my coworkers and I are "essential" frontline workers and many of us are in our twenties or teens which means we will be some of the last people to get vaccinated, meanwhile a bunch of comfy PMC-types in their thirties and forties who get to work from home are going to get their shots months ahead of us.

It's bad enough that they've essentially condemned us to death for the economy this whole time, but now they're not even doing it for the economy.

    The state is directing vaccines to the elderly because they're so much more vulnerable to covid. Watch, theyll get most of to 70+ crowd done and death rates will massively decline - Biden will declare a premature victory and the media will move on as if that was the end of covid. Except of course all the young and middle aged workers that can still get covid and possibly get long term symptoms, and also still are at risk of dying. But they wont hand out eviction moratoriums or stimulus, "because the pandemic is over havent you seen the stats? Just look how few people are dieing compared to a month ago."
