The Great Vaccine Theft By The GMOA

Just when you think that the politicians are the scum of the earth, and that the super-rich, the privileged loot all things that matter, sovereignty and all, enter the Sino-dragon from China from the Galle Face side to prove just that.

If this national debacle stopped at that it’s a relief.

But no.

There is the vaccine and its continued theft.

And enter the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) to loot that.

Not just the GMOA, but the MILs and FILs and mothers, fathers, spouses and ten-year-old kids of the GMOA.

The entire extended jingband.

On a trade union band wagon of decayed morality.

Shamelessly preening like peacocks on an entitlement spree.

Except when the peacock preens, its bottom is naked.

The GMOA, clad in actual clothes, PPE and all, have circulated a form to be filled by its membership, no doubt with the concurrence of the government, to “arrange” the first dose and second dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine, and other vaccines as first dose to the “immediate family members”. “Immediate family members” include mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother, father, wife, and apparently children- even ten-year-olds!

This is the section of the data base received by Colombo Telegraph from a whistleblower from within.

Really, GMOA, really?

Stealing the Second Dose to Vaccinate GMOA Families For First Dose

In this pathetic, system eroded nation, only a fraction out of the 950,000 people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine were given the second dose in a legitimate manner. The GMOA is touting for the first dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine from the stock meant for second booster dose of the public. They want those vaccines to be given as first dose for the immediate family. Currently, predominantly Sinopharm, the Chinese vaccine and Sputnik, the Russian vaccine are offered to the public as first dose. A Ministry of Health circular has explicitly forbidden the use of the currently available AstraZeneca vaccines as first dose.

Is the GMOA and its family jingbands above the law of the land?

Why does the GMOA think that its members are entitled to loot the second dose of the people? The immunity of whose who got the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine is waning because the booster dose has not been given in time.

On what moral basis is the GMOA asking its membership if they would like the GMOA to mediate the looting of the second booster dose of the people to inoculate it as the first dose for their “immediate families”?

Doesn’t the second booster dose belong to the people of this country on a priority basis, according to age, comorbidities and risk?

How does nepotism qualify a mother, father, MIL, FIL or spouse of anyone eligible to jump the queue?

Seriously, Padeniya, how is the mother, father or family member of a doctor any different to a bus driver exposed to thousands of people, a nurse, a policeman, a bank teller?
