This was in the Bham New paper in AL.

We’ve discussed this before and now we’re hearing from this guy some resistence to the prioritizing of people eligible for vaccine shots.

If you remember, months ago an ethics group published a report dealing with the fact that medical professionals might have to triage people for medical care and not everyone would agree how that should be done, but here we have someone from the health department I think it was, questioning the triage theory from first responders right down to mortuary directors, and proposing that if you work that method, then you’re leaving a large segment of people out of the picture — the healthy people who might not WANT to get sick.

Interesting. What are your thoughts?

I think

they’d better tell the public they’re in a pandemic alert period,

and, authorities have tried to keep the public in the dark for over a year, during which they could have been prepping and making community continuity plans.

Prep the non-essential people to cope and live first, then they can stay out of the way and not get panflu, nor injure themselves when 911 response won’t be onthe spot,

and, the people that must go out to treat the sick or injured, console the dying, and make death certificates and transport and bury the dead, and, help the survivors want to go on living, and try and keep the grid and water/sewer treatment up, and control any criminal elements,and keep communications up, tend orphans and elders, protect key buildings and resources needed for Recovery, whatever,

those people, whether standard or presenting themselves to help; they can get what few pre-pandemic or pandemic vaccines first (if they volunteer for possibly risky or not effective experimental vaccines).

(We’re how many years away from developing and manufacturing our own local non-egg vaccines??)

Sure will have lower population to cover, post-pandemic, but, who will be left that knows how to do what??
