Another example of Wall Street Perks  |
|
 According to many publicantions including the assoicated press, many of the top Wall street firms are receiving H1N1 vaccines well before many hospitals, and people at much higher risk. When news of this came out the New York City Health commissioner went into CYA mode. When interviewed by CNBC yesterday he repeatedly said that his office followed the instructions set out by the CDC. However, when he was questioned as to why many hospitals in the New York area don't have the vaccines, he didn't have an answer for it. Nor could he explain how they knew that the vaccines weren't going to the leaders of these companies who are not at risk. He only said that the people giving out the vaccines are told who is at the highest risk.
Do you think that these people are using their power, and money to influence who gets the H1N1 vaccines.

2.  Rollo1 (1624) | 2 months ago |  Money talks, it always has. But it isn't just Wall Street we should worry about. According to a new report, 237 of the members of Congress are millionaires with seven of them having wealth in excess of 100 million. This is 44 percent of the body as contrasted with 1 percent of all Americans. It makes you wonder how they can speak for us, when they aren't like us at all.
I wonder when the members of Congress will get their shots?

| Rollo1 (1624) | 2 months ago | Well, feel free to give the penny back, debater.
Why not put the blame where it belongs? The CDC is run by the Dept of Health and Human Services which is a part of which government? That's right, the US government. And which firms got their doses of vaccines ahead of the hospitals? That's right, the firms the government bailed out to the tune of billions of dollars. This is the government distributing this vaccine, and if they are swayed by the money shouldn't your ire be directed at the government officials who made these decisions?
Now, the companies have these for distribution to employees, that is, not just CEOs. They are supposed to distribute them according to highest risk first.
Now back to Congress. Think they will be last in line behind those hospitals? Think again. | |

According to an article that I read, the individual states are in charge of the vaccine distribution, not the federal government.

| thegreatdebater (1059) | 2 months ago | Rollo, actually it is the New York Health Department that is to blame here, and they know it. The state of New York sent these vaccines to these corporations per the head of the department of health (at least this is the story for now). The big question will be who actually got the vaccines, and what their condition was. The other question will be if people died because some people who didn't deserve these vaccines, would should they sue. It should be interesting seeing how there are numberous investigation of this going on now. | |

| 3. spalladino (9061) | 2 months ago | Of course they are, and it's wrong. Workplace health centers should be far down the list of facilities that receive the vaccine, with all hospitals and community based health clinics as well as physicians given priority. Those Wall Street fat cats can go to a medical facility to receive the vaccine just like everyone else. | |

| thegreatdebater (1059) | 2 months ago | I agree 100%, and when the CDC heard about this they were outraged, and started an investigation. There are many hospitals in the country that don't expect an vaccines for months, and many at risk patience are going to other states to get them. Pretty sad when people that don't need it, are taking them away from people that do need them. | |
