Gabbard rips young Congress members for taking COVID vaccine before elderly
Gabbard rips Congress members for taking COVID vaccine before elderly (nypost.com)21 Dec 2020 ~~ By Ebony Bower
Former Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted young members of Congress for taking the coronavirus vaccine before American seniors — and declared she wouldn’t receive the vaccine until the elderly could.
The Hawaii congresswoman made the remarks in a Monday morning tweet as members of Congress receive the Pfizer drug as part of a “continuity of governance” plan, vaulting them to the front of the line before at-risk seniors and other front-line workers.
On Friday, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recorded herself receiving the vaccine live on Instagram and encouraged her millions of followers to ask questions.
Heartless, arrogant, unelected CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly Americans just don’t count,” Gabbard said.

But there are fears that many Americans who need the drug the most are missing out, with hundreds of nursing homes in New Jersey still waiting because officials there were overwhelmed with paperwork.
President-elect Joe Biden, 78, received his first shot with wife Jill Biden on Monday.
President Trump was hospitalized four days in October for COVID-19 treatment including experimental polyclonal antibodies. Individuals who receive that particular treatment should not be vaccinated for at least 90 days to avoid any potential interference, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory board.
The White House has said that he is still discussing timing with his doctors.
“When the time is right, I’m sure he will remain willing to take it. It’s just something we’re working through,” White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern said Friday.
Comment:
Obviously those with privilege are to receive the vaccine first the the devil take the hindmost... Ms. Gabbord is correct. Those working to care for the sick, the elderly and those with comorbid diseases don't need the life saving vaccine,
Please note that China Joe, 'Dr'. Jill and the Cameltoe Ho Harris both claimed they wouldn't take the vaccine because Trump had something to do with the impressive speed of development. Today they received the shots even AOC was on line for it....
Once again the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrats prove themselves Liars and HYPOCRITES....
