Elders need vaccine first

In response to Max Monteborne’s opinion about age related vaccine immunizations: Max, after reading your opinion about age related vaccine immunizations I was incensed. But then I read it again and realized this was probably an attempt at dark humor. I could not believe anyone could actually believe what you had proposed. If it was dark humor, I do not think it was very funny.

If you really do believe what you wrote was a good idea then shame on you. Those of us who are seniors in our community are not the “throw away” generation. We are at a higher risk of death from contracting COVID-19, therefore we should be higher on the list of getting the immunizations first before younger healthier individuals. Also, just because someone is under the age of 65 does not guarantee they will not die young.

I truly hope you will take a look at what you wrote and realize how foolish you look. If not then wait until you are a senior and see how you feel when someone wants to write you off just because of your age.
