We've been lectured for months, by many of the same people, that if we didn't wear our masks, if we didn't social distance, if we didn't shutter our businesses and lose our livelihoods it was because we hated grandma.

If that's true, then what does taking a dose of a vaccine that would otherwise go to a senior citizen because of limited supply mean?

We know who is vulnerable.

AOC is a healthy 31-year-old. Compared to her age group, about 100 times more people over the age of 65 have died of Covid in the United States so far this year.

It's not just AOC, either. Marco Rubio is 49. Compared to his age group, about 15 times more people over the age of 65 have died of Covid in the United States so far this year.

Members of Congress have access to the vaccine as part of a "continuity of government" plan, but not all are availing themselves of the opportunity.

Many politicians are waiting, either recognizing the bad optics or realizing that the republic will somehow find a way to endure in the highly unlikely event of their absence.

You know who else is going to wait their turn? Brace yourself.

It would makes sense if it was age, but unfortunately it's of importance and its shameful.

That should make for an awkward moment the next time The Squad gets together for brunch.

Over a thousand people a day are dying of Covid, the vast majority of which are elderly. There are not enough vaccine shots to inoculate them all, meaning every shot that goes to a healthy young person because of their status and access is a shot that is not being given to a person who is in genuine jeopardy.

I guess some politicians just hate grandma.
