  1. So you’re saying the minority group that was once used as slaves, counted as less than person, have lower life expectancy, lower access to home ownership, jobs, wealth, and policing equality….also are at the back of the line for vaccines?
    Nooooo! 😬

    1. @R Torres And they are trying to help. Unlike Rubio, and Gaetz who thinks he should be flying off to Wyoming to undermine Liz Cheney. Look at Ted Cruz in Texas, off to Cancun and blaming his daughters! Republican Senators don’t seem to give a hoot.

    2. @Lesley Edgley – None of them do. You see how Gov Newsom hands it out to political donors? Gross. Or how Gov Cuomo gave immunity to nursing homes before this whole scandal? You won’t hear me complain about Republicans. They’re disgusting and its expected. Democrats doing it is even worse, the expectations are crushed when they do things Republicans do.

      From Deadline dot com

      California Governor Gavin Newsom Chooses Big Political Donors To Run State’s Vaccination Program

      Blue Shield stands to earn up to $15 million, a sum that is capped in the contract.

    3. @Lesley Edgley – or from the Chicago Tribune

      Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot spent $281.5 million in federal COVID-19 relief money on police payroll

    1. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr That’s none of my business..Its your prerogative what you want to put in your body, including drugs..I personally am not interested..

    1. For starters, the problem with Congress and ultimately American politics isn’t partisan. Congress operates as an inherently corrupt swamp of career politician shills with no meaningful separation of powers and the ability to govern themselves by voting on their own term limits, audits, salaries, bonuses, lobbyism regulations, vacations, etc.

      To be fair, are you familiar with Operation Mockingbird? You can view the declassified documentation on Senate(dot)gov, watch the congressional hearing here on youtube and even see the former President of CBS testifying to this. It “was” the infiltration of corporate media by the C.I.A. to spread controlled-opposition propaganda in order to divide and distract the public from establishment shenanigans. Even if you believe the governments word that it was discontinued, why would you argue against at least a healthy level of skepticism?

  2. Statistics confirmed that the virus attacked more the Hispanics and black people more then any other race, why arnt this race of people getting the vaccine first.

    1. Statistics on race, is data to understand and address where needed. The data is not racist, and is often used to help, however in our history, it has been used to hurt.

  3. Well we all ready know Biden dosnt think minorities are smart enough or dont know how to use computers or the internet to sign up to get the vaccine as per his cnn town hall.

  4. 60 year old white Florida man here. I have no idea when I’ll even be eligible, but I’m kinda doubting soon. Probably sooner than if Trump were in charge. Lol… Shoot me a message when I can get one. I’ll drop by.
