Well, so, according to the media and assorted highly placed talking-heads, we’re on the cusp of getting a vaccine for Co-Co 1984. Oh, the joy as it seems us old folk will be close to the front of the queue to get it. I do hope those offering it to me understand ‘No’. I might even add ‘thank you’ if they promise not to pester me for a ‘yes’ every week expecting me to cave in for a quiet life.
The best idea I’ve come across was a comment left I remember now where which, done along with independent observers would be a beauty. Here’s the comment; yup, apologies for the copy an’ paste:

Someone's got to to be first. How about all in the Commons and Lords, then Whitehall then the pharmaceutical company boards, directors and scientific experts and advisers involved in producing these vaccines. Nearly forgot; all those TV celebrities and media chiefs.
Anyhoo, will we get a bar code like those kids in Liverpool? Somewhere on the left upper arm? Oh, that rings a bell...

ENTERTAINMENT, n. Any kind of amusement whose inroads stop short of death by injection.

Makes sense to me.
If our politicians and civil servants should be swept away by the plague then heaven help us, stone age here we come (well, after the partying anyway). Our leaders and guardians must be vaccinated first and foremost for all our sakes. However public spirited they may be, precious time wasted vaccinating the hoi polloi is pure folly, civilization is at stake.
