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.

    If you got your vaccine before an essential worker because the government decided that’s how it was gonna go, would that essential worker not be justified in their anger with the government?

        I just wanna know your answer to the question

        And idk how I can make it more clear that I'm not mad at old people. I'm relieved that my grandparents already got it. I'm pissed I'm getting mine in July instead of May like the initial plan said. I'm pissed at the government that has decided my 35 year old friend who gets to work from home is higher priority for the vaccine than me, despite the fact that he only leaves the house to go hiking while I gotta deal with customers coughing on me all day.
