New Jersey has issued its latest plan. A rather long winded document but it is telling.
They claim a Level 1B group to contain:
Food service workers,
Port Authority workers,
New Jersey Transit workers,
Teachers, staff, and childcare workers
Workers who support radio, print, internet and television news and media services
Other critical workers (CISA),
Other essential workers (whatever that means)
Level 1C is composed of college students, the obese, migrant workers, those living in overcrowded housing, tribal populations, people who work in crowded environments, including allegedly prison inmates.
After all of these above, we then have those over 65. This group has the highest mortality but is placed at the bottom of the State's Plan. Internet bloggers get higher priority! And what is an "other essential worker"? As we have been showing for almost a year now, the Govs mandate in LTC facilities resulted in thousands of deaths. Now the people at most risk who have contributed their lives to the State get pushed to the bottom. This is a true revival of the "Death Panels" writ loud. But you can be assured that the ruling class will be considered essential, essential or otherwise. In my opinion this demonstrates the abject malignancy of our society and its Social Justice hierarchy.
This is indeed Social Justice writ loud. It is the Titanic where it is not women and children but the Press and Bankers. The NY Times supports this strategy. Thus we must accept it. So must I and others like me cease our cancer research, our value is less than that of thieves and murderers. Medical Ethicists are in my opinion akin to what we may have seen in Europe in the early 1940s, they become the cullers of the Social Justice Warrior class, they determine human value, based not on the consent of the governed but on principles that ensure their survival and dominance.
The NY Times reports on this process. They note:
The question of where groups of workers stand in the line for vaccines has yet to be resolved in New York or in a majority of other states, according to a review by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation. The federal government is expected to issue final recommendations on who should be deemed essential soon. But it is largely up to states to prioritize vaccine distribution among those workers...“If your workers go first and you win that argument based on a political appeal, who are you bumping behind you?” he said. “You may push further back people who many public health experts say should go before you. It may be a cohort that the public feels should be treated more urgently than you.” That hasn’t stopped industries that believe they have a credible claim from going public with their pleas, using a combination of data and emotional appeals to make their case.
Thus the original CDC guideline has been demolished by industry favoritism based on financial political support. You can "buy your life" if you get a better position in line.This really tells us something about our leaders. They can be bought for just a few pieces of silver. Shame!
