Rush Rush Vaccine
Covid-19 Vaccine

There is something scary about that needle and not just because it is, but because what's inside them were rushed and because of the strong push to take them if not make them mandatory.
Politicized
After the elections (just a few months later) these same news networks and politicians are saying that the vaccine is here. And, hold it, they are "safe"!
What Changed?
So what changed? Nothing really.
It has always been the same. Politicians will always be politicians, pants on fire.
And what is worse is that they with the help of their pals in the news media were not merely lying but that they have also politicized this pandemic, exploiting and manipulating it to get what they want. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
The question now is that, now that the rushed vaccines are out... will you take it?
Decency, courtesy and the sense of community will tell us to do so.
But deep down our gut and plain common sense will tell us not yet.
So Who Should Take The Vaccine First?
These same politicians and their flip flopping health officials have already set guidelines on who should take the vaccine first. And for the most part, their list is logical or at least well thought of.
But if we want people to really get the rushed vaccine, I think we should let all the news media bosses, their newscasters, reporters and print and online editors and writers take it first on live TV, let them back up their claim that it is safe.
Them and all the politicians, elected officials, cabinet members, FDA and CDC top brass and all health officials and their immediate family. And mind you, not the saline placebo please. Then after two weeks, they can start administering them to the general public.
