Sedgwick Co is now chipping aircraft workers ahead of under 65's with comorbitities. Mrs Gooch who is well on the periphery of the aircraft "supply chain" was given an appointment for today after signing up yesterday. eff it, I'm absolutely going to spin my employment as a health care support job to get a chip. Restaurants and bars are packed and people have already stopped wearing masks in the grocery stores. I have barely left my house in a god damn year and these assholes are acting like this is all over. I put in my time and will absolutely be jumping the line to get my life back since everyone here is done doing even the slightest amount of mitigation.
I have zero issue with most line jumpers. If you're interested in living your life without dying or becoming a long hauler, then you should do whatever you can to get the vaccine. Literally slap the jab out of the hand of a medical professional getting ready to jab a 70 year old woman with cancer for all I care. I have much less tolerance for line jumpers who have spent the last year not taking this seriously.
The reason why I don't care about older people getting jumped is that there are a lot of older people who haven't taken it seriously either. We're just assuming that the idiots are 22 year olds who just want to go get hammered in Daytona, and there's a great deal of that, but there are also still heath care workers not taking advantage and old people who think this is a complete scam. You don't have to wait for these people.
The county I work in won't move to the next tier, under 65 with pre-existing conditions, until 60% of the proportion population 65 and older are vaccinated. This is the largest county in the state, that's insane. The largest long term care facility in the city only has 62% of their employees vaccinated because the rest refuse to get it. It's been three months, no one should have to wait on these people. Luckily most retail pharmacies nationwide aren't abiding by the generally stricter local tiers and guidelines.
