I think everybody should be able to get the vaccine, but i imagine people with serious illnesses etc are prioritzed higher than just smokers... no? My whole immediate family is from nj and all of them either got the first shot or are signed up to get the shot soon, it seems like its available in the state but maybe im mistaken. Then again my parents are above 65 and my sisters are a teacher/home-visiting physical therapist so they are all prioritized on some level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I haven't been paying too much attention to New Jersey after I moved away from it. There could have been an announcement that would have included me and people like me in the vaccine process that I haven't found, but I saw this trending and did some reading and there are a lot of people included in some of the articles I read that include people with asthma with similar feelings to me, so I'm going to assume based on that that they have not been prioritized, which I don't think is very fair. But it also hits close to home to me since I really feel like I could have died if I did not leave home when I did because my family (excluding my dad, but he went to work during the day) did not care about my health when I was working from home and cared more about the comfort of chain-smoking in the house all day rather than going outside.

I'm glad you got outta there hopefully wherever you're at now, you are able to get the vaccine soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a plan in place to get the doses to more prioritized groups and eventually trickle its way down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I verified with my friend who works as a server at a super popular restaurant (that COVID really didn't hold anything back from) and they are also not being prioritized when they work around people who come in and immediately take off their masks when they get seated, since they are eating. The same goes for public transportation workers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,978 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 People at increased risk to die from covid are obviously going to get the vaccine first. Healthy, young, skinny, non-smokers probably won't die from covid. The vaccine isn't to help you go to the bars, it's supposed to PREVENT DEATHS.

The lack of empathy and just out right hatefulness on this website is becoming appalling. Sorry everyone isn’t perfect like you guys all clearly are, but they still deserve to live.

RichAssPiss 5,049 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This is a trash opinion not unlike those used against gay men with AIDS in the early crisis, claiming it was their fault and they did not deserve treatment, care, and compassion.

SlipAway 880 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 D, some kindness punks you are. If you think spending $17 a day on something that stopped feeling good 10 years ago and is literally killing you, it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
