UK Law firms 'jumping queue' to get swine flu vaccinations
Law firms and other businesses are seeking to jump the queue ahead of pregnant women and other vulnerable groups by mass vaccinating their staff against swine flu. Law firms especially are already asking for vaccinations. The vaccine’s effectiveness in reducing deaths and serious complications depends on whether it can be completed and deployed before the anticipated arrival of the second wave of the virus in the autumn.
11 million people in four priority groups, mostly those whose health puts them at risk from the pandemic, may be invited to have a course of two injections three weeks apart, probably starting in October.
IMO: Whether lawyers and similar persons will clog the system enough to cause a repetiton of the 1968 epidemic which caused over a million deaths, we do not yet know. Of course, many more might die but 1 in 50 people dying because of greedy lawyers is getting to be a bit much. Not a statistical account as such of course, but we can easily see the position. Captains staying with their ship until the ordinary people get to the lifeboats, seems an idea unacceptable nowadays. So basically the captains (or people like Allen Duncan, M.P., overpaid Guardian journalists and so on) are no longer worthy of their pay. When global warming arises, we can guess the results.
