No, this isn't another diary about marriage equality. It's about fundamental equality, and the apparent lack thereof. This will be short, because the article here speaks for itself.
While many who are in high risk categories for contracting the Swine flu still haven't received the vaccine, are waiting in ridiculous lines, and are being told by their doctor that there's still no firm date for when the vaccine will arrive, the CDC has approved distribution to several Wall Street firms of the vaccine that's in short supply.
Here's the article:

Here's a tasty morsel:
Recent news reports indicate 13 companies, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Time Warner, have been cleared to receive the vaccine.
The CDC is distributing the much sought-after vaccine to Wall Street firms despite reports of vast shortages. In fact, just yesterday CDC Director Thomas Frieden informed Congress that only 32.3 million doses are available, far less than the 159 million needed to cover those at the highest risk.
Waiting in line is for putzes, or as Leona Helmsley said, "the little people."
How tone deaf can this administration be???? As if the bailout hasn't angered Main Street enough, now this?
It's outrageous and disgusting. And one would have hoped that the administration would get better at things like this with more time on the job, not worse.
