How disgusting, but not surprising, that teachers are jumping the line to get covid vaccinations. The deceptive rationale that our kiss-up governor is using is that the teachers will only be given the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Why isn’t this vaccine being given to those who are more vulnerable and are already in the queue?

This just proves how powerful the education lobby is and how selfish and greedy Pennsylvania’s teachers are. Workers at grocery stores, Walmart and other retail establishments have a far greater exposure to the virus than educators. Teachers also have paid sick days and Rolls-Royce medical coverage and make on average over $63,000 annually, whereas retail workers seldom have paid sick days, earn two to three times less than teachers and have poor, if any, medical coverage. Retail workers literally cannot afford to get sick.

Where is the outcry? Where is the voice for retail workers who provide every one of us our basic needs every day? My disdain for whiny teachers escalates!
