Government Run Health Care

In Tennessee, they had vaccines. Friends of the nomenklatura got it before people who needed it because of "mistakes."

I figure all that anybody needs to know about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines, can be inferred from the fact that the medical types who get to decide who gets it and when, have reserved all of the initial production for themselves and their own people. These ones in Tennessee are only taking that practice to its logical conclusion, and were not smart enough to avoid getting caught at it.

Here in Alaska the state legislature tried to give themselves priority but thus far have been told to stfu.

I use the same reasoning as with computer software that has been released early. I don't want to have to pay to be a beta-tester.
Every elected official that is either officially associated with the Dems or identifies with them should be first in line. Every last one, from Harris, Pelosi, Biden, on down through all the governors to the non-partisan hacks in City Councils, and all those leftist judges for whom it is "unseemly" to give a party affiliation.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

The fact that there is a caution for women of child bearing age not to become pregnant for up to 1 yr after taking the vaccine should say something.............

Likely as a CYA for the vaccine producer since their initial testing would have (rightfully) not have that demographic represented in their study population, thus the actuaries and lawyers strongly advising that they (Pfizer, Modena) advise against getting pregnant. Because thalidomide worked out so very well...

Not implying it's anything like Thalidomide, just that they have no clue, and since they did such a bang-up job previously, they're actually trying to learn from that.

Good it's an entirely new type of vaccine(mRNA) that was rushed to market, and had the stringint FDA testing that's usually performed on vaccines, waived.

Let them be the guinea pigs and if, say half them drop dead, then it's no real loss.

I do not work on that field, but I know on the field I am in it is common to include warranty disclaimers that we know no one or few will follow just to limit liability. So it seems likely.
