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.

    Why would you be? The vast majority of people that covid killed were old and they are getting the vaccine first because some actuaries in a room somewhere figured out that's how you minimize deaths.

      And thats all they care about. Some boomer's last 1-10 years of their life are more important than the zoomer's loss of taste or the lasting brain damage that will also last for the rest of their lives,
