Black, Latino Seniors in Virginia Get COVID-19 Vaccine Priority as White 85-Year-Olds Wait

 Via John


In a move that is outraging senior citizens throughout Virginia, the state is shifting its COVID-19 vaccination distribution to prioritize black and Latino residents even as desperate 85-year-olds interviewed by Judicial Watch struggle to get the shot. Like several other states, Virginia is vaccinating its population in phases, with healthcare personnel and residents of long-term care facilities receiving utmost priority. With that population completed, according to the Virginia Department of Health, the second group includes a peculiar combination of frontline workers, people 65 and over, those with medical conditions, incarcerated criminals and those living in homeless shelters or “migrant labor camps.”

  1. Wait? They've been waiting for a year already. One more month isn't going to kill them...maybe. In three months, the government will be forcing people to get it as a way to reduce the overstock they bought.

  2. 70 y.o. co-worker just lost her sister. She was doing good with cancer in a nursing home, sharp, functional, mobile to a point.

    Was convinced to get the poke by her doc and staff, 5 days later was immobile, next day unable to communicate, next day dead.

    Only person I know of that has died of the "pandemic", positive it'll be reported as a cancer death.
