The Carroways were having a lively discussion the other night about the vaccine. Ms. Carroway is one of those fake doctors that Epstein and all of the Fox News junkies were talking about. She got her doctorate in BioEngineering a little over ten years ago. I was able to call myself a doctor’s husband and we were also able to bet on whose family would be the first to ask for a prescription. Mine was first by the way when my uncle asked for the hook up.

I’m blessed to have my own health expert in the house through this whole ordeal. She’s talked about working for the CDC, but that would require a move. Left to my own devices would be disastrous. My D in freshman Biology isn’t impressing anyone. Most of us could learn a thing or two about listening to experts.

Anyway, she pointed out the breakdown in logic of teachers being near the front of the line. We don’t have to be doing in person instruction. It’s a choice the state and local districts are making. It reminded me of a scene from the movie “Soul Man” from the 1980s. The bank told the main character that loans were meant for students incapable of paying and not ones whose parents were just donkeys (deference to momma). See, his parents were rich but chose not to help him pay for school. Similarly, the state could protect us but have chosen not to.

The vaccine should go to workers that have to interact with those that are exposed or already positive. It makes perfect sense. The logic is unassailable and yet we all feel somewhat short-changed. I’ve watched our campus fly past ten positives. I’ve seen football and basketball games suddenly canceled at our daughter’s junior high. I know Joe Biden wants schools open so maybe Governor Abbott might actually come through and move teachers right behind health care workers and seniors. That seems to be what we are hearing. If it’s true all won’t be forgiven, but it will be a start.
