Traders and children first
You were worrying that bankers wouldn’t be among the first to get the vaccine, weren’t you. Well worry no more!
Wall Street could get a shot in the arm in the coming months, while much of Main Street waits months for their COVID inoculations.
Lenders, bank tellers and traders could jump ahead of most Americans for vaccines, after such remedies receive emergency authorization by the Food and Drug Administration, potentially putting financial industry workers ahead of those aged above 65, adults with medical issues and the rest of the U.S. population.
Bankers are important! How do we know? All that money they have. Stands to reason.
Essential workers are in the second group, after front-line health care workers and residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Bankers are essential!
[T]he DHS defines essential workers as those who conduct a range of operations and services that are typically essential to continue critical infrastructure operations, and normally have included firefighters, teachers and grocery workers.
And not so much bankers, which is a shocking and unreasonable oversight.
