I'm one of them. I'll gladly let someone else have mine. In fact, I'd opt out and there darn well better be a provision to do this if you want to. I'll quarantine myself if I have to. Thank-you very much.

Of course people should be barred.

Anyone with a felony conviction. All illegals. Anyone receiving TAN-F, Food Stamps or HUD Section 8.

Anyone in a nursing home or who is hospitalized. Anyone taking prescription medication to preserve or extend their lives.

Anyone who has a BMI greater than 25%.

Anyone over 65? If they are 100% independently mobile, not suffering dementia or Alzheimer's, then based on their occupation or skill-set, you can inoculate them.

An 85 year old woman who is sharp as a tack and gets around on her own is more valuable to me than a 20-year old whose sole skill is texting/sexting and playing video games.

If a good chunk of your population dies off, you're going to need people who have a plethora of knowledge that is not technology-based. You're going to need men and women who know how to make butter, sour cream, cream, who worked in meat packing plants making sausages without artificial colorings, flavorings and preservatives, who know how to cure meats, who know how to sew and knit, who can perform accounting and financial transactions using pencil and paper instead of a computer, who know what vacuum tubes are etc, etc, etc.

Europeans and east Asians should get first priority. I mean, considering they could actually rebuild the world the world that this disease would destroy.

The US rebuilt Europe the last time they destroyed it themselves.
