Pennsylvania moves smokers to front of its COVID vaccine line; CDC recommends this.

Puffing on cancer sticks may actually keep you from getting sick in Pennsylvania — at least when it comes to COVID-19.
The state is bumping smokers to the front of the vaccine line because the habit makes you more vulnerable to the illness, the Pennsylvania Department of Health said Friday.
All people aged 16 to 64 with “high-risk medical conditions” — including being hooked on cigarettes — were added to the first phase of the Keystone State’s coronavirus vaccine distribution plan, WTAE-4 reports.
“Pennsylvania has chosen to follow the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] recommendations and include smoking among the list of medical conditions putting individuals at greater risk,” a rep for the state’s health department told the station.

Hopefully some of these lefties will take up smoking so they can get their vaccine faster

Being a fatty puts you at risk as well. Guess fatties are moving to the front of the line soon.

Is this before elderly & nursing home residents?
If so I give up on trusting anyone in any form of government to do the right thing

I assume it moves them up equal in line with the elderly, cancer patients, people with lung diseases, etc.

Fast food and soft drink connoisseurs aren’t going to like being bumped down the victim list for those skinny smokers.

so a vaccine only tested on perfectly healthy folks (who still had reactions) is now being used on unhealthy folks with no evidence of it being safe?

So, let's say your one of those who REALLY want the vaccine. Can you just lie and call yourself a smoker? Do they require some type of proof? Maybe breath stinky breath on the registering person?

The people who care less about their health through their actions than anyone else are the first in line to make sure they stay healthy. It's science!!
