Women and children and bankers first
AP:
Some of New York's biggest companies, including Wall Street giants Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, received doses of swine flu vaccine for at-risk employees, drawing criticism that the hard-to-find vaccine is going first to the privileged.In fact, 1,200 doses at Citigroup. Apparently a lot of children and pregnant women work there.

It really isn't that hard to believe. Of course the rich and powerful would find a way to make sure they had what the masses didn't, protection from 'the rest of us'.
This is fine. This sort of morality is why royal families are inbred haemophiliacs.
Tangent: the Tintin films are coming out in the next few years. I as a news consumer cannot WAIT to see how hack cartoonists will use the intrepid boy reporter as a metaphor. Will Snowy represent fiscal solvency? Captain Haddock's drinking coudl represent the health plan! Stay tuned!
Interesting that both the Wall Streeters and the Guantanamo prisoners-without-trial are being fast-tracked for the vaccine. Dare I hope that the Obama administration is thinking of relocating the banksters to new quarters?
Much as I hate to admit that the Tea-baggers are right about anything... maybe they're right about a bloody revolution being required at this juncture.
