PRIORITIES MIXED UP

Re: the notion, promoted by some bioethicists, that the unvaccinated should be prioritized for the new Pfizer oral COVID medication.

Are they insane? They want to reward the ridiculous behaviour of the anti-vaxxers by giving them first-in-line status for medications that come from the same companies that make the vaccines, which the unvaxxed do not trust.

I will repeat: If you do not trust doctors and pharmaceutical companies, do not have the nerve to show up begging for help from these same “evil purveyors of poison” when you are sick with COVID. The hypocrisy is just too much.

I suggest we give these new medications to the citizens who have done their utmost to protect themselves and their fellow countrymen.
