Ah, welcome to the political meme of "us vs. them". Gee. did Congress and staffers get their vaccines ? Nah- those damn rich banker bastards... It's getting to be the "Gilded Age" all over again.. huddled masses of the poor listening to wealthy demagogues preaching about the evils of 'the monied classes, oppressors of you all'. All with the common goal then and now... not to lessen the burden of the less wealthy, but to gain political power for the demagogues.
People are still suckers. Their great grandparents were suckers, and they are suckers themselves. (Fortunately my Grandfather lived through those ages, and explained the whole BS thing to me. He was also dirt broke poor, and ended up working in a lumber camp for a couple of years in Canada to feed his family back in NY).
New flash- those of us who were vaccinated in 1976, and those of you who were vaccinated in 1957, are NOT getting Influenza H1N1. Apparently there's enough similar to kill or weaken the virus. So it's the young who are getting nailed by it.. or those who were not in this country back then.
