Really? Shocking! I mean COME ON Jocks are way more important than the "at risk" general population. Some would argue, that with travel, exposure to thousands, etc they should be innoculated.
Pro athletes jumping health queues? It has never happened before – other than, you know, an athlete getting an MRI every time he snaps his fingers or a ligament or two; those same MRIs that you, me and the milkman wait weeks or months to obtain. Other that that, I mean.
The Raptors admit "some" players and staff have been given the shot. They issued a statement saying they "have followed the protocols and recommendations established by Public Health officials regarding both the seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccinations" and that "only certain players and staff have received the H1N1 vaccine."
"We have not done a full-team immunization," GM Bryan Colangelo said. "We have offered seasonal-flu (shots) to everybody, but I don't think everybody has taken it. But everything we've acquired has been through the normal protocol."
Wait your turn motherfuckers. You are athletes, not high contributing members of society, or without resources to look after yourself.
Gawd...Let's not get me started on society's ill placed importance on athletes, beauties, and obsession with lives of pretty people
