I'm happy that the miami valley is starting to finally get the vaccine and that some of the people who need it are getting it. Unfortunately teachers and other public service personel who work directly with those who are at high risk are not included with the those who are allowed to get vaccinated at the current time. Maybe I missed something but it seems a little odd to me. Also Dayton Democrat please do some research before you make accusations. You make the rest of us democrats look bad.

REPORT ABUSE

Dayton Democrat - viruses have been around as long as the world has exited, and they have been mutating that long. Have you not heard about the flu pandemics that happened in the late 1800's and early 1900's? Were those government created too? Do you not know this is all over the world not the US? Do you know that flu vaccines are actually not that profitable for drug manufacturers? Obama's kids were vaccinated last week BTW.

the word censored by the bloggin software below is a term that represents a combination of various drugs in one shot. It was not meant to be slang in nature.

I think its great that they are giving these shots away free but you have to wonder where all of these viruses come from and if they are created in government labs that our fed by republican money to perhaps inoculate our population so the drug companies can get rich. Our President Obama who is infinitely smart did not get his own kids vacinated so should we think twice about shooting are own kids up with drug ********* that the establishment has created. Could there be an ulterior motive here?

Uhm, don't look now, NancyMary, but there's a great deal of irony in the fact that you are in Centerville whining about "rich" kids getting their vaccines first! How dare anyone come before those in Centerville, eh?!
