Chan Lowe cartoon: "Hot" shots
It's all a secret plot, like fluoridation of our drinking water.
Now that the long-awaited swine flu vaccinations are finally being distributed, why am I not at the front of the line? Why should I and my family have to wait while some other, lesser mortal gets inoculated ahead of me?
First responders, shmirst responders. What about those willing to pay extra? What's more American than getting preferential treatment for greasing a few palms?
It's the long arm of paternalistic government again, telling us who can get medical care and who can't. It's Obamanistic socialism. I hear the feds paid for the vaccine. I have half a mind to refuse it, just because the serum might be a Communistic scheme to infect us all with an insane desire to sit down during the Pledge of Allegiance or something.
What's wrong with good old-fashioned free-enterprise-produced vaccine? Fine, so it might cost ten times as much. That would keep the hoi polloi out of it. I could get my shot sooner, which is exactly the way it should be.

Might have been a test-run. (Like the Y2K head fake, I mean it is just the flu, right?!?)
If the decisions for distribution become life and death, where you stand in line may not be of your choosing?
Better start complaining now. The old method of a Representative Democracy with a Capitalist Economy doesn't work for you?
