Maybe a bottle of wine.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that they are housed in close quarters. I know there is a story out there of a Naval ship that was given the flue shot and then quarantined out at sea because almost all of them came down with it and the Captain and another soldier died from the injection. So maybe it more about lots of people in a small space.

Did I just defend or rationalize this? Time for a glass of wine, perhaps!

The more I think about this the madder that I get. This story probably doesn’t have legs because the media doesn’t want it to have legs. The Obama administration is criminal in this case and the media are accomplices to the crime.

Hopefully the vaccine will be available at the end of the month.
It is absolutely disgusting that people who have been told they are high risks cannot get the vaccine that they are told they need. I can understand the theory behind sending some of the doses oversears to prevent a worldwide pandemic but the president and the government have a responsibility to the American people first and foremost and they are neglecting that duty. On the other hand providing GITMO detainnes the vaccine before American citizens is beyond disgustin, it is criminal in my book.
Hang in there, as Deb said I am sure everything will be fine.

I first read this yesterday on this post and after thinking about it more it really is quite disgusting that something like this would be allowed and Americans should be outraged, but I doubt that will happen as the story doesn’t seem to have legs. Thank you for pointing this out.

Being a pregnant woman who has been told time and time again that I am high risk and I must get the vaccine, yet I can’t find it anywhere, this angers me to no end! Even though I usually never get a flu shot (and had no intentions of getting either vaccine) it has been stressed upon me by my doctor that I must have both shots, but there are NONE to be found anywhere!!! I just can’t believe that as a hard-working, tax-paying, health-insurance carrying American, I can’t get vaccinated, but inmates and detainees can. Apparently, their lives are worth more than mine and that of my unborn child as I remain un-vaccinated and will continue to be until “hopefully sometime by the end of November” as my doctor told me last week. It’s ridiculous.
