White House staff members will be among the first to be vaccinated.

[William769]

White House staff members who work in close quarters with President Trump have been told they are scheduled to receive injections of the coronavirus vaccine soon, at a time when the first doses of the vaccine are being distributed only to high-risk health care workers, according to two sources familiar with the distribution plans.

The goal of distributing the vaccine inside the West Wing is to prevent additional government officials from falling ill in the final weeks of the Trump administration. The hope is to eventually distribute the vaccine to everyone who works in the White House, but will begin with some of the most senior people who work around the president, one of the people said.

It is not clear how many doses are being allocated to the White House, or how many are needed. While many Trump officials said they were eager to receive the vaccine and would take it if it were offered, others said they were concerned it would send the wrong message by making it look like Trump staff members were hopping the line in order to protect a president who already had the virus and has bragged that he is now “immune.”

The first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine left a facility in Michigan early Sunday, with UPS and FedEx teaming up to ship them to all 50 states for distribution. A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

So let me get this straight, they fucked America for 9 months saying it was nothing more than the flu and now they will be some of the first to be vaccinated.

1. Well...really think about this...

I'm not necessarily THAT against this.

[onecaliberal]

2. I'm sorry but until healthcare workers are all vaccinated the pricks in the White House who can't be

Bothered to wear masks or stop having and attending crowded parties should NOT be in consideration.

[sprinkleeninow]

7. What you said. Hypocrites talking outta both sides of mouth. eom

[magicarpet]

3. So is it a real hoax,... or a fake hoax ?

Or maybe a real,... fake,... real hoax ?

This is all so confusing.

[Srkdqltr]

4. Wait ... wait.... Trump and all had the virus?

Why would they need the vaccine? Or maybe they didn't and that was the hoax? Makes your head spin.

5. NY is getting a pittance, from what I hear.............. only 176,000 to start.. It's a joke!

[mucifer]

6. Yup they hoarded the rapid tests and made sure to prioritize Hollywood and sports over healthcare

workers regarding testing.

They are efwads!!

8. This reminds me of my question about why Giulliani got one of 108 DC doses of the cocktail.

Does anyone know any more about that travesty?

9. I'm more concerned about making sure the people

that work in the White House (housekeeping, cooks,secret service,etc) are vaccinated. I want all of the people that will be interacting with the first family to be vaccinated.

[LAS14]

10. Well, actually, I think I'm in favor of this, if they make it a big public thing.

Along with medical personnel and senior living congregate facilities, we need influencers. We need rock stars (is that still a term???) and social media big names and, yes, Trump and friends to make a big deal about it being a great idea to get vaccinated.

[William769]

11. That's like giving Herbert Hoover an award for the best economy ever!

[LAS14]

12. ??? This makes no sense. nt

[William769]

13. Hoover caused the great depression.

The assholes in the white house have put us in the mess we are in today.

Makes perfect sense.

[LAS14]

14. The point is not to "award" the Whitehouse. It's to model good behavior to the Trumpists.

Which would benefit us all. Not just benefit us. It's necessary that a large number of them get vaccinated.

[William769]

16. Fuck the Trumpists!

There's a special place for all of them and I do not give a shit if they get vaccinated or not. Will mean more for the more deserving. And yes I am serious after what they have tried to do to this Country.

[LAS14]

17. And so we through out herd immunity with our hate for Trumpists. Not to smart, in my opinion. nt

[AngryOldDem]

21. I think it's more of the old self-serving, "Ain't I special" BS.

Pushing their way to the front of the line...just because.

If they wanted to set an example for their lemmings, they could have done so months ago by wearing masks, not having large gatherings, practicing social distancing, being proactive, and not mocking science and the experts who warned about this.

But YMMV. AFAIC, they can wait.

[Hugin]

15. I thought they said, "We've got intravenous bleach. We're good!"

[tanyev]

18. Well they're demonstrably incapable of keeping themselves Covid-free.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. So fuck the old and the vulnerable

[AngryOldDem]

20. This is fucked up.

It seems like these people are always rewarded for their bad behavior.

They should be among the VERY last to get this, especially if there won’t be widespread vaccinations until midyear.

[Me.]

22. KR

[2naSalit]

23. They should be the LAST to get it.
