  1. Vaccinate the sick, the elderly and front line workers.
    Of course anyone else who wants it for all I care. But, open up things after that!

    I know the governments purchased double the amount to our population but this was done to give away to the developing world nation at our tax payers expense – I don’t care at this point, the so called government can even give my dose away as I would literally rather die than take that particular vaccination 🙂
