“Rise of the Evil Ones” – “BLOG BOG”

The COVID vaccine is being distributed by New York State authorities with the same dismissive attitude that is a hallmark of their policy making toward the elderly and the unborn. • Age may be the demographic that defined the state’s COVID-19 fatalities; but it’s politics that defines who gets the vaccine. • A teacher who has already received the vaccine told me that he had been networked with the time vaccine appointments would be available, and on the dot used his smart phone and laptop together to grab a slot before they were gone in minutes. How can the county’s rural elderly; without prior notification, many without computers, good vision, and even the ability to move their fingers without pain, compete with that? • I have been unable to schedule a vaccine appointment for my mother, and called the County hot-line: I told them she was 97 years old, with heart disease, high blood-pressure and a pacemaker — they replied: “Everyone thinks they’re at risk.” • The sum-total of their help was to say: “Just keep trying.” • Now you know what happened with the Nursing Homes.
