which he is, so he didn’t jump the line. He’s British, not American. What’s disgusting is that he’s spreading anti-vaxx conspiracy theories.

become a US citizen a few years back so he could purchase his TV stations? He also used to be Australian. But Britian gave him the shot. He did get ahead in line.

of someone else.

They cause trouble, cozy up to dЯump, then barge their way to the front of the line. I thot the vaccine was sucky to them. Make up your dammm minds.

It is written: The first shall be last and the last first.

I feel that US servicemembers and their families should be considered in the initial category. I'm increasingly pi$$ed that dЯump refused a large quantity of vaccine mid-summer. Malice aforethought.

If I fall ill, it's all over.

Just that some 'special' people are considering themselves entitled, and after enabling dЯump refusing vaccines mid-summer and screwing up accessibility to immunization, they push their way up to the head of the line. Talk outta both sides of dupa. "It's a hoax, but lemme get inoculated." Screw them...

UK pre-ordered 40M doses meaning they can vaccinate roughly 1/3 of their population right away or 2/3s if they can secure 40M more doses in the next 3 weeks.
