Teachers should be near the front of the line for access to a coronavirus vaccine, according to unions, school officials and state lawmakers who say educators’ immunity is key to safely reopening schools for in-person classes

show the committee is considering the education sector and other essential workers for the next priority tier, “Phase 1b,” which Weingarten said she supports.

Given the limited initial supply of vaccines and the surging U.S. outbreak, determining priority will be crucial. So far 14 million people in the country have been infected and nearly 276,000 have died. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, said teachers will be among the first in his state to get the shots, along with health care workers.. "We know that our teachers desperately want to get back into their classrooms safely. Teachers are essential to our state so under our plan they will be prioritized."

Teachers who are actually teaching right now should be prioritized.

I guess twitter’s consensus is once again “fuck teachers because I’m not a teacher”

Ivermectin can do it now. We don't need the vaccines. Look Chris Martenson Peak Prosperity and his reporting on the virus. He has been on top of it from the start. Now he says the data is in and confirms that Ivermectin offers 99% cure rate. Go here:

There are school staff with much lower wages/hours who are forced to be at the schools tending to kids and parents directly, providing books and materials while teachers are safely at home. Teachers can go to the back of the line.

And they should get paid 6figures- easy

Whoever wants a test can get one. Stop with the fear porn

And meatpacking plant workers, grocery store workers, public bus drivers, school bus drivers, I could go on and on!

The teachers union can get bent

They have been paid to stay home... medical staff & eldercare staff first..then the stable high risk vulnerable. Our teachers face less risk than grocery store clerks who also go to work every day. Children do not transmit. They need to put on their masks & earn their paychecks.

Healthcare workers, first responders and the elderly. Next up teachers, retail and restaurant workers, then everyone else

Retail workers are exposed to more people every day and are at much higher rates of death & illness, with no 'from home' options. Retail workers should get vaxx before teachers.

Fire and police to the front

Teachers should be last.
