GOLDMAN SACHS EVEN RIPS OFF SWINE FLU VACCINE
Citizens for Ethics in Washington - 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. Given the scarce supply, the CDC has recommended the vaccine be directed only to those at highest risk: pregnant women, infants and children and those up to 24 years, those who care for infants, health and emergency services personnel, and adults with compromised immune systems or other chronic health problems. Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW said today, "Although CREW has been unable to uncover the demographic makeup of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and JP Morgan Chase, it seems safe to assume the vast majority of their employees are not pregnant women, infants and children, young adults up to 24 years old, and healthcare workers."

The second I heard that the number of available doses had mysteriously dropped by 120 million, I knew that somewhere some rich SOBs were hoarding it for themselves.
What is being portrayed here is the big shot Wall Street executive getting the swine flu vaccine. In reality, it is the minimum wage mail room employee's chronically ill daughter getting the shot.
Come on people wake up and read between the lines and stop reading just the headlines. Goldman Sachs is a very large company and has a medical practice that is run to treat their employees and immediate family. It is a doctor's office and they deserve the vaccine just ask much as the any other doctor's office.
Nothing has been stolen or ripped off. Show me evidence of someone out of the risk pool being given the vaccine and then I will be furious. Until the find some real news to report.
Mail room clerks at Goldman Sachs made a lot more money in bonuses than you and I take in for the whole year. Right now at Goldman, no one is making minimum wage.
